Ho Man Tin Leisure Centre (usually for matches during the week)

Location: No.1 Chung Yee street, Ho Man Tin, Kowloon

The simplest option is to take the MTR to Jordan, Yau Ma Tei or Hung Hom and then grab a taxi for a short ride. There are minibus but they are tricky if you are not familiar with them and you don't want to be late for kick off.

Tin Shui Sports Centre (in special circumstances)

The simplest option is to take the MTR to Tin Shui Wai and then grab a taxi for a short ride. You can walk on Tin Yiu Road, then continue on Tin Wu Road before reaching Tin Shui Road. Use Exit C to be on the north side of the road.

The match against King's was played in on the San Wo Playground (屯門新禾里手球場, 屯門新和里). MAtches there are pretty rare but just in case, we have kept the explanation there. It is Tuen Mun between Siu Hong MTR and Tuen Mun MTR stations.

Going to Siu Hong tube station and share taxis from there should be the fastest option.

The location of the the ground is San Wo Lane:

2nd Phase Qualifiers

As the last matches are getting played, only 2 spots for the second round are still up for grab. In group A, the results were already known with AKITA, Institute of Education (教院), and Hong Kong Institute of Education (香港教育學院) going through in this order. In group B, ARISE is qualified with maximum points in front of Yuen Long (元朗). Lok Lun (樂聯) could be the last team to join them unless Long Hei (龍禧) manages to win against Attacker and Wui Chun (匯俊). In group C, only 7 teams competed and 2 teams are already qualified. Shun Lee Catholic (順利天主教) with 5 wins a draw will be joined by Nam Wan (嵐灣) (3 wins, 2 defeat and a draw) and they will be waiting for Chun Yuen (駿源) which only needs a draw against Yan Ching (仁青) currently ranked last in the group. Should they not manage that, YMCA will progress through thanks to their 30 - 9 defeat of Nam Wan (嵐灣) in their last match.
