Jockey Club Ti-I College (Ti-I) will keep a close eye on Ko Lui Secondary School's midfielder Ng Wing-kum when the two teams clash in the final of the Inter-School Girls' Soccer Championships at Kwai Chung Sports Ground tomorrow.
Ti-I coach Fung Hoi-man said if the two-time defending champions were to retain the title, they would need to curb the attacking skills of Ko Lui's key player. '[Wing-kum] is a fine player, very versatile. Her skills are even better than some of the boys and she also has speed,' Fung said. 'We may have a player keeping an eye on her particularly.'
To prepare for the final, Ti-I organised a three-day training camp over the Lunar New Year during which they concentrated on improving their defence.
Ti-I have not conceded a goal so far, while Ko Lui have let in just one - against CUHKFAA Chan Chun Ha Secondary School in the preliminary stages of the tournament.
Ko Lui captain Wing-kum, who is the team's leading goal-scorer, said it would be a tough game.
'Most of our players are not as experienced as Ti-I's,' said the Kwai Tsing Club footballer. 'I am the only one in my team who is receiving serious training outside school.'
