Result Round-Up

In group A, AKITA is joined by the 2 Hong Kong Institute of education teams (the last and first opponnents of AKITA in the 1st phase) in the next round. Those three team ending 21, 18 and 15 points not leaving any points to the other 5 teams on the way. This group was rather a defensive group with AKITA ending best defense out of the three groups (3 matches with less than 10 goals conceded, a feat only managed once by HKIE and not done by any other team in the other 2 groups). Congratulations to Sun Hoi Lin (辛亥年) which despite a 26-2 defeat by AKITA managed to rack up 3 wins againts other team in close matches. Unfortunately for HKUST, they only managed 1 point. In group B, ARISE managed a clean sweep with 21 points thanks to a 21 - 20 victory against their challenger Yuen Long (元朗) just before the AKITA - HKIE match. Yuen Long will join them in the second phase and will be an interesting opposition, they have the highest goal scoring average of any team in the three groups. ARISE could be the main threat for AKITA in the second phase. In this group defense was not always the theme, with ATTACKER winning their last match 47 - 26. Not enough though to make them go through. In group C, many matches are still to play and the qualification is still uncertain, most matches have been close and not team has taken full point. The three teams to go through will then start with less points. Shun Lee (順利天主教) is likely to get out of this group with 4 wins and a draw.
