The function was held on 27th of June 2004 Sunday 2:30pm-5:30pm at
Thornleigh Action Indoor Center. There were four teams competing
Medi, Science United Engineering and Youth. Wearing the Brazilian
jersey, Science played with great skill and tactics. In fact they
scored the highest number of goals at 10 in three matches. Peter
Cheung, father of Jason, arrived in time from HK to join the Medi
team. He scored and helped the team to get the Champion. The Youth
team had a new finding of Ming Fan this year. Partnering with captain
Jason, they enticingly dribbled and shot with great strength. We also
welcomed Larry Shek to play for the Engineering team. Although he
hasn t played soccer for decades, he covered most of the field with
endless energy. Together with Keith Chow, Sze Cheng, Simon Fan, Bill
Ho and Steel Goalie Anthony Ho, they made their team hardest to beat
in the whole tournament.
The event arose to a climax having Science United to face They have
to score three net goals in order to beat the Medi Team by goal
difference. The mothers leaded by Ivy Chung cheered to their sons
as to avoid conceding goals, which in turn help their fathers Medi
team. The mothers went mad when Jason scored the equalizer that
looked set to bring their fathers the trophy. Yet the mighty Brazilians
carried on without frustration. They banged in two more goals later
and still have minutes to go. So tantalizing, they kept on shoooooooting
from different angles. Yet the Youth team goalie, Ronald, made
breathless saves which include a penalty. His performance later earned
him the best Goalie of the event. The ending score was 3-1, Science way,
which is one-goal short to lift them the Champion.
This year we have a special guest, Peter Cheng (Cheng Yun Yue), who is a
household name in Hong Kong soccer history. Many soccer fans couldn t
forget the night he captained the HK team to play against North Korean
in the seventies in a World Cup qualifying match. They broke the soccer
record of having penalty shootouts more than 20! Peter stayed with us
throughout the game and presented the trophies to the teams. Many players
were so eager to take photo with him afterwards. In the aftermatch dinner,
the prize winners were announced.
Finally, we wish a quick recovery to Tim Chung s ankle. His fighting
spirit was helpful in their team during their remaining matches. We
also thank Raymond Lun, CC Cheung, Dennis Wan to referee the matches,
Helen Wan to bring in delicious snack, and many mothers for cheering
and helping.
