The 67th Jock's Pot soccer match between Swire and Jardines took place on 13th June at the Hong Kong Football Club. This long-standing annual sports fixture, dating back to 1953, was founded by two keen soccer players from the respective “hongs” – both named Jock.
Despite wind and rain brought by Typhoon Wutip, supporters filled the stands to cheer on their teams. The Swire team included players from Swire Properties, Swire Hotels, New Life Plastics, Cathay Pacific and HAECO. Jardines opened the scoring early, but Swire responded with determination. Goals from Dudson Yip (HAECO) and Elfaza Rivaldy (Cathay Pacific) put Swire in the lead and the team then defended resolutely to secure a well-earned 2-1 victory. Justin So from Cathay Pacific was awarded the Kevin Faure trophy for best Swire player.
