Elsa High School hosted this year’s Spring Carnival Five-aside Soccer Boys Tournament on 4 March on their indoor and outdoor football pitches.

It was the second year Maccabi Hong Kong had hosted the event, this year doubling the number of participating teams. It was a real community event at Elsa with the refereeing of the games organised by the fathers, the kosher food and drinks made and sold by the mums and the cheering led by the siblings.

It also turned out to be a very special day in the history of Maccabi. A soccer carnival enjoyed by over 400 children aged 5-11 representing nearly 50 teams with over 500 visiting parents supporting their children.

To cap it all Maccabi won the Cup in two of the four age group categories: 2004 and 2001 tournaments.
