Sunday 28^th October was another gorgeous day in Shenzhen. Zhixin College, resplendent in their Peppa Pig-inspired kit, took on Shuli College who was wearing an outfit reminiscent of German club Borussia Dortmund. In a back and forth affair, Zhixin College finished the game 2-nil winners and will top Group A. Zhicheng College will play Shuli College on November 18^th for the final playoff spot for Group A.

The second game of Sunday afternoon saw what casual observers would have thought of as a Manchester derby. Zhiren College was wearing a kit similar to Premier League heavyweights Manchester City, while their cross-campus rivals Shuren College were wearing kits that would not have looked out of place at Manchester United. This latter game was a high scoring affair, with Shuren College winning the game, 4 goals to nil. Highlights of this fixture came from dead-ball specialist Kevin Tu, who scored two stunning goals from set pieces that lit up the crowd.
