<p style="text-align:justify">For the first time ever &lsquo;Sports&rsquo; was introduced in the Club&rsquo;s calendar of events in the year 1986. Our country&rsquo;s most popular sport &lsquo;Cricket&rsquo; made an entry into the Ad Club Madras with the support of Sportstar from The Hindu Group of Publications. Each year the popularity of this event grew and is today a much awaited event, attracting 25 to 30 teams, with the winners walking with the Prestigious &lsquo;Ad Club Sportstar&rsquo; Trophy.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Cricket was soon followed by Table Tennis and Ball Badminton. Table Tennis was reintroduced in 1997-98 with 18 teams participating at the University Union Indoor stadium. The Winners&rsquo; Trophy was annexed by O&amp;M. The event continues, attracting participants from both corporate and individual members of the club. The year 1999-2000 saw the addition of three more events like Chess, Carroms and Bowling.</p>
