Whilst Tiger Woods win yesterday grabbed many sporting headlines around the globe, Dynamos Colin Young was the talk of Kings Park following a goal scoring return after a two year absence. With IES threatening to equalise after applying constant pressure to a tiring backline, the Civil Servants broke quickly down the right flank and a low early cross was met by Young who slid in to convert from the edge of the 6 yard box. Along with Dynamo, Maccabi maintained their 100% record after edging Antonhill by the odd goal in three. In the top tier Azzurri, Spartans and Squadron all have maximum points after 2-0, 4-1 and 2-0 wins over French Kiss, Dragons and Knights respectively. CAPS 2-1 victory over HKSS ensured they stay in pole position in division 3 closely followed on goal difference by CSOB who put five past NFAA. MPR91 scored the only goal in their game with Hung Art and ADW registered a 4-2 win over Wah Yans Class of 84 to leave both teams with unblemished records.

We have received several requests as per the above and thought it prudent to outline a clear procedure. For requests for changes to player details the team manager should write to the Chairman and copy the Secretary, Div Rep, Webmaster and AO with clear details on the reason for the changes and copies of all identity documents relevant to the changes. For requests for changes in team management, whilst it is clearly laid out in the league constitution that team reps for the coming season must be registered at the league AGM for the coming season, we are happy to consider requests after this and the team manager should write to the Chairman and copy the Secretary, Div Rep, Webmaster and AO with clear details of the outgoing and incoming reps including full name, email, contact number and position of the new team rep. Please specify whether he/she will be a playing or non-playing rep. For changes to team names these will normally only be entertained in the close season and, moving forward, a charge of HK$500 will be levied for each successful name change application. All correspondence to league officials including the AO, should be preceded clearly with the addressee’s/addressees’ name(s) and or/title and any requests, including pending requests, should be submitted/re-submitted as per the above.

On Sunday, the Yau Yee League hosted “The Weez Project Friendship Cup 2018” at Kings Park. 15 teams battled it out in the name of raising money and awareness for The Weez Project and the KELY Support Group (two charities that do fantastic work here in Hong Kong). It turned out to be a fantastic day with everyone getting involved in the right spirit on and off the pitch and a good amount of money was raised. Both the Cup and Plate finals had late drama as the German All Stars lifted their first Friendship Cup and got over the disappointment of losing in the 2016 final. It could have been so different as opponents French Kiss hit the cross bar with the last kick of the game but it wasn’t to be and GAS, led by captain Kieran Robinson, came through 1-0. In the Plate final Spartans hearts were broken as HKNFA scored with the very last kick, in a fantastic end to end game, to be crowned 3-2 winners. At least Spartans walked away victorious from the juggling competition (fair play to the 4 guys who stood in front of 200 hecklers and gave their all in this!). In the trophy final Hearts, led by big summer recruit and old boy Paul “Oggy” Hodgson, defeated San Pellegrinos on penalties. It must be said the P’s did snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by missing their last three kicks (there has been a complaint that a window was smashed in the flats behind from one effort). A special mention should go to Rovers and BTDT for battling it out with squads twice the age of the other teams. Unfortunately, on this occasion experience didn’t come through. A fantastic day played in the right spirit with only 3 yellow cards in 42 games whilst enabling us to help raise awareness for the Weez Project and KELY Support Group. Hopefully this event can go from strength to strength and a big thanks to all players and volunteers. Good luck in the upcoming season.
