Try-glutton Telea out to feast against Football Club

Out on the wing, Asahi Valley's try-scoring machine Alex Telea, has a prayer - after Saturday's Grand Final clash against DHL Club, he wants to go to McDonald's and binge out.

'I hope to celebrate by going to McDonald's. I want to eat ice cream. Maybe even go to Kentucky's. I have been eating boring 'healthy' food all season and I think I deserve something exciting,' says Telea.

Fast food for a fast man. The former Samoan international certainly deserves to titillate his taste buds after an explosive performance on the wing for Valley this season. Nuggety hard and with buckets of flair, Telea is the leading try-scorer in Hong Kong this season.

The 30-year-old has scored a record 24 tries for Valley, turning him into the most lethal finisher in local rugby. DHL Club will be hoping he has stopped counting. In fact Telea admitted yesterday that he had lost track of his tally - an all-time Hong Kong record.

'Twenty-how many?,' he exclaimed when we told him the count was 24. 'I'm not really counting. I will just try to do my job and the rest will follow. But of course I will try to be consistent,' he warns.

As always, Telea modestly tries to deflect the attention on to the rest of his teammates. 'I just finish the good work done by the others. The forwards mainly do all the hard work and the other backs create the opportunities. I'm out on the wing and my work is to finish it off.'

The strongly-built winger, however, is aware his work will be cut out as Valley attempt to finish the season off unbeaten. Arch-rivals Football Club have played them twice this season, and dangerously improved the second time around.
