HONG KONG—Khalsa-A clinched the Premier League title and the team then dedicated the trophy to their verdant supporter and his family, Sardar Buta Singh Gill who passed away at the start of the year.

The team went all out from the first whistle in their search of their fifth title in six seasons and were looking to finish off the season in style with no other team likely to take the crown off them regardless of the outcome against Singh Shaba Sports Club, who had to settle for third after their 4-2 result at the final whistle at King’s Park on Sunday on March 19.

While on the island side, Hong Kong Football Club-A hosted Hong Kong Cricket Club-A but despite their goal prowess with a 7-0 demolition over their visitors, they had to settle for second best.
