One more point to go! 26-4-2004

The match on 25th April 2004 was the most critical ever. We were against Swiss XI. Although we had beaten them 4-0 in the first round, we didn't take this match lightly as this match was too important to us!

It was so decisive that we all knew we had to win. Whether we would remain in Division three or be promoted to Division two is all determined by this match.

During the first half, Swiss XI arranged a defence formation and it proved to be quite successful. We couldn't make any direct attacks. Thanks to their mistakes, Franco and Jeff obtained several free kicks and Lewis and Gary nearly scored.

Though we ended the first half 0-0, being determined to go to Division two, we spared no efforts in the second half. Gary, Daniel and Charles made three goals in just 15 minutes!

One more point to go and we will be in Division two! Keep Up the Good work HKSS!

The Yau Yee League Cup Semi-Finals 2004 4-4-2004

Club Albion shattered HKSS's hope of making history!

Club Albion had a 1-0 win over HKSS. During the first half of the match, Siu had a chance to score when Marcau passed him the ball. But he missed the goal because he shot with his less capable foot. Although he didn't score, this attack strengthened our team's determination. We did not have any fear even though Club Albion was from division one. Club Albion then made a threatening attack. In the midst of chaos, our defender Pui nearly kicked the ball into our own goal. Luckily, he hit the cross bar and put an end to the crisis. In the first half, we were more on the attack rather than on the defence, but still we could hardly make a score and finished first half 0-0.

In the second half, though we were in good shape, still Club Albion were phyiscally stronger than us. Finally, we lost 1-0 to Club Albion. Our Captain Franco Lee said, "HKSS did a good job but there is still room for impovement."

Keep Up the Good work HKSS! 29-3-2004

Don't Feel Despair, HKSS! 14-3-2004

HKSS made a 1-1 draw in a second round game against Colloids. All through the game, we made many attempts to score, but Colloids' strong defence made our efforts in vain. At 13 minutes, Colloids had a free kick. While we were still deciding on the defence wall, Colloids' striker kicked in unexpectedly and scored. But Colloids only took the lead for less than ten mintues. A stupid mistake of Colloids' gave them a red card and us a spot-kick. Our left midfielder, Charles completed his job easily with the score tied at 1-1.

In the second half of the match, Colloids started to get rough and uncivilized, and injured Charles, Stevenson, Marcus and Franco. Charles couldn't even walk out of the field by himself!

Nothing Gonna Stop Us Now! 1-3-2004

HKSS defeated Standard Chartered 4-0. In this match, all HKSS players were in great shape. At the beginning, our midfielders Thomas, Daniel, Franco, Paul and Mobin created ample chances for our forwarders. Our strategy this time was to focus on side attacks! Daniel and Thomas were making active moves. Poor Thomas, he even sacrificed his 'Little Thomas'. Badly hit by the ball from Standard Chartered, he could hardly continue the match. We could see from his face that he was deeply in pain; however, he endured the pain and continued with the match. All HKSS players must learn from Thomas - his sportmanship! Although Paul and Charles got a yellow card each, it didn't affect their performances.

In this match, Jeff tried hard to make his first goal in this season. At 25 minutes, Daniel realized his dream. Daniel made a lofted pass to Jeff from the left and Jeff headed in and scored his first goal. With such a good start, all HKSS players were in high spirit. Mobin, Franco, Thomas, Paul and Daniel made continous attacks one after another. Though we posed a great threat to Standard Chartered, we didn't make further score before the end of the first half.

During the half-time break, our captain, Franco asked us not to under-estimate Standard Chartered and we should play the game as if we hadn't made any score yet. With our strong determination to win, at 5 minutes after the break, Small Lo and Felix struck 2 goals extremely fast. Then came our secret weapons: Joe, Alex and Lewis! They made several attempts, giving great pressure to Standard Chartered.

Stevenson,Jack,Francis,Charles created an unbreakable defence. At about 25 minutes, Standard Chartered made their FIRST shot. While Tak was rushing out to catch the ball, he lost his footing and nearly tripped. Mobin immediately came to his rescue. He held him so tight that Tak could hardly move, creating an empty goal for Standard Chartered! At the most critical moment, Francis appeared and kicked away the ball without any difficulty. It was the one and only time when our goal was in danger. Finally, Lewis kicked in one more goal which marked the end of the match.

A side track: one Standard Chartered player nicknamed 'One-eye man' was murmuring to himself all through the game. It is believed that Pui is a hindrance to him, but unfortunately Pui was injured and he could not meet his old mate in this game!

Childhood Dream Comes True! 19-2-04

As a distinguished goalkeeper of the HKSS Football Team, Tak has realized his childhood dream. He joined our team 8 years ago and since then, he has safeguarded our goal countless times. Tak is not only flexible, but also quick to act. To him, being able to produce an impossible save can bring him immense joy and satisfaction!

Yes Captain! 18-2-04

Franco has been a player with HKSS Football Team for 14 years and this year he is also our Captain. He arranges every match with the best formation, so this year our team has obtained very outstanding results. We won 8 matches in a row. And in the Yau Yee League Cup, we successfully got into the semi-finals.

In the interview with our captain, he says he wants HKSS to grab the YYL Cup and become the League Champion. He also thanks all 'brothers' for their support and trust. He believes our success is mainly due to our high attendance rate. He wants all of us to enjoy this season!

HKSS Made History! 15-2-04

Under the leadership of our God of Death, HKSS created a miracle in the match against USRC at King's Park, beating them 2-1 and made into the Semi Finals of the Yau Yee League Cup 2004. The match was so exciting that it captured everyone's attention. We were like fearless fighters even though our opponents were from Division One. Losing one goal to USRC only made us more determined to win. In less than 10 minutes, the God of Death, Marcus made the first goal for the day, making it worthwhile for him to fly all the way from China for this match. At just 4 minutes before the end of the match, Siu, Mobin and Charles made several attempts to score one after another, and finally Gary headed in our winning goal. Our superb performance and excellent skills made the audience's hearts pounding, their palms sweating and their pulse racing. The success of this match is certainly attributed to our cooperation and strong team spirit. HKSS, congratulations!
