The young and not-so-young battled it out in the latest round of the new Nike Hong Kong Football Fives 2002 at Tsuen Wan on Saturday.
The competition, organised by the Hong Kong Football Association and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, gives players in four age categories the chance to show their ball skills and compete for trophies and cash coupons.
The matches in Tsuen Wan featured footballers from the New Territories West District and were played at Sha Tsui Road Playground.
The competition started with matches in Kowloon District on March 16 and will continue this weekend in New Territories East District, followed by Hong Kong District matches at Victoria Park on April 13-14.
Top teams from each area in the under-13, u-16, u-19 and men's open categories advance from the preliminary rounds to the finals to be held on April 20-21 at Macpherson Playground, Mongkok.
Former South China Football Club goalkeeper Yam Wai-hung, who is coaching several u-13 teams, said the new competition gave juniors more opportunities to take part in competitive football and develop their skills.
