As AKITA was grounded at home because of an Amber alert on the week end, 4 matches were played during the week by the other teams.
In a 19:00 Kick-off on May 19, Yuen Long (元朗) managed to get the best of Chun Yuen (駿源), but not without a scare. Ahead at half time (11-9) Yuen Long had to wait for the last minute to secure a 24-23 victory that leaves them 1 win away (last match against Nam Wan) from the title and promotion. In the following match The Institute of Education (教院) managed an outstanding come back against Long Hei (龍禧), after being 7-16 down at half time they reversed the match for a 26-23 win.
In the Thursday matches, ARISE needed to bounce back from its heavy Sunday defeat whereas Shun Lee Catholic (順利天主教) needed a win to keep a very small hope of promotion. After a slow start, (8-7 for Shun Lee) ARISE recovered their confidence and managed an 18-15 victory. They now will need a slip up from one of the top 2 team and a victory in their Saturday night rubber against Chun Yuen(駿源)to have a chance of promotion. In the later match of the day, HKIED lead Nam Wan 12-11 at half time but could not maintain their lead and was defeated 24-26.
Because of delayed matches AKITA has still 2 games in hand, whereas ARISE and Yuen Long only have 1 remaining. The promotion places could be allocated by the end of the WE if ARISE were to draw or lose and AKITA could manage a win.
