Settling Unfinished Matters
The other game of the tournament saw Arcturules dispatch Edbe FC 4-0 to finish atop the league phase, as what was supposed to be a close struggle for a place in the finals turned out not to be. Both teams were looking to play on the counter, and Edbe FC probably were the more successful in this regard, but decisive finishing made all the difference. Chau Wai Yew, who plundered a brace, is now level on five tournament goals with his U-20 senior Chow.

Chow Ying Lee commented, clutching yet another free match ball. "It is just as well, since we hadn't managed to put them away when we last met. The final would be a good time to do it!"
When asked to comment on the possibility of tournament top scorer rival Chau making a move to The Cooking Pot from the East Coast, given that he has been transfer-listed for S$6 million, Chow was non-committal. "Chau is a very good striker - he reminds me a bit of myself, in fact. However, it is no secret that the coach won't be making any big purchases for a while."
