Wofoo Tai Po win League Cup – but will match-winner stay for Premier League?
- They beat Sham Shui Po 2-1 thanks to brace by Chan Kwong-bun, but his playing future remains uncertain
- Both sides managing expectations for next Premier League season, with development of youth players their main target
Wofoo Tai Po showed that they mean business ahead of their return to the Premier League as they beat Sham Shui Po 2-1 to lift the First Division League Cup on Sunday night
On a baking summer evening at Kowloon Bay Park in front of an unexpectedly large crowd, Chan Kwong-bun scored a goal in each half after Leung Sing-yiu’s strike had put Sham Shui Po ahead midway through the first period.
Former Hong Kong under-22 international Chan is still unsure whether he will stick around to try to repeat his heroics during the new Premier League season, however.
“I haven’t decided if I’ll return to the Premier League, because I now have a job as a youth team coach,” said Chan, who last played in the top flight for Southern. “I need to think a bit more about my future.
“But scoring two goals in the final is something very special. I must thank some of my experienced teammates who helped to set me up to score both times.”
