Kuitan captain YEUNG Chi Lun was delighted with his team's display: "To be honest, we're not a professional outfit and we don't get many training sessions together, so today's performance exceeded our expectations. Credit to Yuen Long, they're a young side with plenty of potential who were hampered by injuries today, and I'm sure they have a very bright future." Looking ahead to the final against Eastern District, he's determined to settle the score: "I have complete faith in the quality of our squad, though we are carrying a bit more age and may struggle to match them physically. They beat us in last year's final, so hopefully it's our turn to lift the trophy this time around."
