Hong Kong Soccer Tour

Team building at Harrow International construction site 

Another long and busy day for the soccer team in Hong Kong.   We are packing in lots.   During the morning we visited the building site of Harrow International school, Hong Kong.   The building, while half finished, is impressive, and we were lucky enough to be given a guided tour by the Director of Studies, James Thomas, and the site manager, Jerry Wong.   We saw a mock-up of a classroom and the boys learnt lots about how the school will operate.   It is an incredible sight.  Over 300 builders are working on the project at the moment and the structure has shot up in 4 months.   It will be an exciting place.

 After a leisurely lunch back near the hotel, we headed to the spectacular Hong Kong Football Club for the third match of the week. It soon became apparent that although the opposition had a couple of very talented players, there was quite a gulf in quality between the two squads. So at half-time we decided to mix the teams up.  This resulted in a much more even second half, which was used as a useful, competitive training session in preparation for our toughest fixture against Happy Valley tomorrow.

 After the game we headed to the excellent SML restaurant in Times Square, where Old Harrovian Arnold Wong had laid on a delicious buffet supper.
