West Zone B Division Football Champion 2013: Hong Kah team (Photo © KZA)
Tanglin Secondary, Wednesday, April 10, 2013 — Hong Kah Secondary defeat Jurongville Secondary to capture their second successive and eighth West Zone title since the school’s inception in 1996.
The zonal championships had overran their schedule as there were numerous postponements of matches due to the inclement weather. The final on Wednesday was actually a rematch of Tuesday’s final where Hong Kah were leading Jurongville by 2–1 until the match had to be called off in the 50th minute due to lightning alert.
However, there was no stopping the Hong Kah boys in the replay when they convincingly proved their mettle as the reigning National B Division Champions. The team wrapped up the West Zone title with a resounding 3–0 victory over Jurongville.
Hong Kah’s victory can be largely attributed to Mohammad Azreen Aziezul who had scored the crucial two goals, together with Danish Jefri who added to the scoreline with his goal. Azreen has evidently been on form throughout the championship as he bagged the West Zone Top Scorer award with a total of 21 goals scored in the competition.
Hong Kah will now look towards defending their National B Division title, where the National Championship is scheduled to kick off in a week’s time.
All teams which finish in the top four of their respective zonal championship will automatically qualify for the National Championship.
