Punjab-A Stay Top, Closely Chased by SSSC-A and Khalsa-A

HONG KONG—Punjab maintain their stranglehold on top of the Men’s Premier League standings with a 6-4 win over KNS-A at King’s Park on Sunday Oct 5.

But they will have only a short stay at the top of the tables if close chasing Singh Sabha Sports Club-A (SSSC-A) has anything to say about it after their 9-1 demolition of Hong Kong Football Club-B at Sports Road in an identical 4pm slot.

SSSC-A included their two latest signings of Faizil and Ismail, both former Malaysian Internationals, who showcased their skills with some deft moves to quickly halt Club from making an impact to the game.

SSSC captain Navdeep Sharma was overjoyed at his side’s quick passing game, but will have to be on the ball as they face Punjab-A in an enticing showdown on Oct 26 at King’s Park.

Full Match results: HKFC-B lost to SSSC-A 1-9, Punjab-A beat KNS-A 6-4, Khalsa-A beat Rhino-A 13-2, Shaheen-A lost to KCC-A 1-3. The matches between HKCC-A and HKFC-A, and Valley-A against Pakistan-A were postponed.
