INSTANT-Dict will be hoping to make it third time lucky when they take on favourites Eastern in the final of the Emperor Exchange Challenge Shield at Mongkok Stadium this afternoon.
Instant are in their third season in Hong Kong football and have failed to win any of the eight major trophies up for grabs in their first two campaigns.
They came close on two occasions, however, losing to Sing Tao in the Challenge Shield final two years ago - after a replay - and to Ernest Borel in the Hong Kong FA Cup final later that season.
But their 30-year-old playmaker, former Sunderland midfielder Steve Berry, believes they have the right blend of players this time to capture their first major Hong Kong title.
''I played in both those finals two seasons ago and I think we have a much stronger side this season,'' said Berry.
''Everyone is obviously tipping Eastern because they are the holders and are unbeaten at the top of the league but we feel we have a very, very good chance if we play to our potential.
