I attended Day 3 of the HKFC IP Global International Soccer 7s today, just in time to watch the Cup Quarter Final games between Glasgow Rangers/West Ham United, Australian U18/Tuen Mun ProGoal, Aston Villa/Eastleigh FC and Celtic/Citizen FC.

As three-day tournaments go, Day 3 (knockout rounds & Finals) are normally the highlight of the tournament.  I was therefore rather disappointed to see the spartan crowd at an event billed as “the premier Soccer Sevens tournament in the world” (according to HKFC Chairman Fook Aun Chew).

Here are some of the pictures I took with my trusted old point-and-click:
