The Division Two champions from the Hong Kong and Kowloon district upset three-time winners Jockey Club Ti-I College in the first round last week.

Their surprise 2-1 win sets them up against Tai Po and North District champions, SKH Chan Young Secondary School, in the second round on Saturday at Happy Valley.

'We had some luck last week and, although I'm quietly confident, we need to be cautious going into this match,' said Joe Chu Kwok-hung, coach of Mid-Levels school, Rosaryhill.

'We have never played this team before. But if we can play to our strengths, I'm sure we can win. Our teamwork has been very good this season. We've played a lot of friendly matches to help prepare us for the Jing Ying. I think that has helped.'
