HONG KONG─Last weekend’s (Nov 5, 2017) Premier League fixtures saw a stunning shift in fortunes when last season’s defending champions, Khalsa-A had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Valley-A to share the spoils in a gritty encounter at Sports Road.

Khalsa-A should have taken the full three points but were denied by missed chances especially in the penalty corners which saw them waste at least 13 coming their way which included a weak stroke to hand Valley-A their first draw of the season to leave them fifth in the standings on seven points.
