Freshmen Cup Champions
FOOTBALL: Freshmen Cup Football Competition, 2018/19
The Collegiate Freshmen Cup 5-a-side Football Competition was held on 15th September, and the finals played on 7th October, 2018, at UM’s Mini Artificial Turf.
MCM ‘Canaries’ were one of eleven teams across different Colleges that was up for the challenge. Players included: Jannik Buntz, Ken Wong Chikin, Kenny Lei Chi Hong, Jason Lin Youbo, Yu Han Xiang, Justin Fu Junhan, Bruce Sio Feather, Roy Chen Yihuang, Alexandre Noronha, and Miguel Noronha
The team was spearheaded and well-captained by Miguel Noronha (sophomore) who led the Canaries in the qualifying stages, with three emphatic victories over LCW College, SP College and CKL College, to book a place in the semi-finals, with a game in hand.
The semi-final match was played on Saturday, 7th October, and the Canaries took the lead from a free-kick. CYT College fought back with a valuable equalizer. Their constant attacking style of play caused many problems for the Canaries' Stopper, Yu Han Xiang, (who pull off many magnificent saves). Shortly after the interval, the Canaries cranked up the pace and added more tempo and fluidity to produce two more goals. The game ended 3-1 for the jubilant Canaries and they marched to the finals.
The final match was played against a re-charged CKLC side that stunned the Canaries with an early goal just minutes into the first half, after having broken down a heavily guarded defense line. MCM College recovered well, and came out fighting even harder in the second half. A free-kick (just outside the penalty area) was converted by Miguel Noronha, levelling the score at 1-1, and sending the supporters into a euphoric state of celebration. As the referee checked his watch, an unmarked Jason Lin Youbo neatly tucked in the ball into the right corner of the CKLC net to put the Canaries 2-1 up, and reclaim the championship a second-time since 2016.
HA President, Jackson Mak, Associate Master, Dr. Manuel Noronha and a large group of loyal supporters (led by Resident Tutor, Quinn Song) came out to cheer for the team. It was an authentic and exciting cup final as one would expect it to be.
