VC'sCup Soccer Finals Men of L e t t e r s T o o k t h e C h a m p i o n s h i p The finals of the 1989/90 VC's Cup soccer competition took place on 9th December, 1989. The Arts team defeated its Business Administration counterpart and captured the champion trophy for the first time. Never before has the Arts soccer team demonstrated such brilliance and might. Did the players themselves expect such good results? Dr. Chan Sin Wai, team captain, points out that the Arts team was the first runner-up last year and since then the players have aimed for the championship and practised very hard, both as a team and individually, to achieve this goal Practice not only makes perfect but also generates confidence. All these coupled with the encouragement from their colleagues have made them ‘invincible' in the matches. Of course, luck has also been with the team all the time, according to Dr. Chan. Their last three matches including the finals all ended in a draw and the winner was decided by penalty kick from nine yards. Team members for 1989/90 include Chan Sin Wai, Chan Sau Yan, Cheung Kwong Yue, Cheng Wai Ming, Chu Yin Wai, Gilbert Fong ， Philip T. T. Fung ， Ho Che Wah, Archie C. C Lee, Li Kam Fai, and Tsang Chi Hung.
