Team of Strong Bankers 2- 1 KIBC Disciples
KIBC lost a closely fought battle in a grudge match against their arch rivals in what was their second defeat in two games.
The church side started well and took the lead after 15 minutes. The goal came from an impressive display of team work, with star Liberian striker Nathaniel slotting the ball calmly into the back of the. KIBC continued to work well together, consistently opening up the Bankers defence; they were a big threat in front of goal.
After the break, the Bankers levelled the score after some sloppy defending. At 1-1 fatigue on the KIBC team was beginning to show. Armed with only 7 men and playing against 14, tiredness definitely became a factor. The Bankers scored again at about 67 minutes but the KIBC team still refused to give up.
Ellison ‘42 minutes’ Tsang had a glorious chance to level the score. His thunderous shot from 25 yards ricocheted off the crossbar before being cleared off the line by a defender.
A few more chances followed, but KIBC were unable to add to their score sheet. In the end it was a valiant effort, but the Bankers managed yet again to edge out another result.

You forgot this part:
"Many frustrated spectators expressed the opinion that if Ellison '42 minutes' Tsang were more of a team player, things might have been different.
Even Tsang's mentor, Conan Yin, expressed disgust. 'Goodness, so embarassing!' he said of Tsang's performance."
