We didnt win the tournament, but i still think it has been an achievement as our team have only been established for 9 months and many of the other teams have been together for a few years. Im sure we will get better and hopefully we can play more matches next season.
Overall it has been a very good season with many matches organised and many new contacts made which will be good in the future. They will be plans for another tournament next season and hopefully we can also participate in other tournaments which are hosted by other teams. Perhaps a league could be formed between some of the local teams but alot more planning would need to be done for that.
Hope everyone have a great summer and looking forward in playing again with you guys soon.

Brighton outplayed and thrashed Brunel 9-1 in their third match of the season. It was a good win due to the fact that it was BCFTs first game for 3 months. Brighton dominated the game straight from the kick off with a couple of opportunities which flashed wide of the far post. It was always just a matter of time before the first goal went in and it came through Brighton's number 8, Vito. Gary Cheung nutmegged Brunels right fullback reached the byline and pulled it back for Vito Wong to slot home from 6 yards out to make it 1-0. The second came courtesy of some individual brilliance from David, who won the ball in midfield and struck the ball nicely to the bottom left hand corner which came in off the post which gave the keeper no chance. Soon after Gary Cheung made it 3-0 with a lovely chip from 20 yards out which left the keeper stranded. Arguebly the best move and goal of the afternoon was Vitos second. He brought the ball forward into the opponents half, played it into Gary Cheung, he took it down neatly and played it through, back into Vito's path who carried on with his run and his instant shot went straight pass the goalkeeper into the net, great move!
The second period was much the same story, Brighton controlling all areas even after making wholesome changes. Brunel did manage to pull a goal back but Anran, Michael, Alex, Jacky and Ming all got on the scoresheet as well, meaning an emphatic victory for the southern side.
