When results of the last Hong Kong A-level exams are released tomorrow, it will signal the beginning of the end for footballing friends Andy Chu Keng-hong, Michael Chung Yan-hon and Jacky Cheuk Tak-fung.
The Form Seven graduates of Carmel Divine Grace Foundation Secondary School, in Po Lam, will follow different career paths: Chu, 18, plans to study environmental science; Cheuk, 19, will focus on physics; and Chung, also 19, on history.
Yet none of them will forget the days they have shared together playing football for their school.
Chu and Chung joined the school team in Form One, and Cheuk in Form Two. They practised two hours every Monday and Wednesday at Po Lam's Po Tsui Park, and often played friendly games on other weekdays.
Over the past few years, the team have tried to boost support from their fellow students by uploading highlights of their matches onto YouTube.
'Last year, on behalf of the team, I sent an appeal to the whole school, calling for support,' Chu says.
'We were facing a really tough quarter-final match. When we played, we had about 70 school friends cheering us on - which made such a difference - and we won. We went on to finish third.'
