東方簽前南華袋鼠兵

那邊廂效力太陽飛馬嘅澳洲門將泰臣，宣佈返回祖家加盟澳職珀斯光輝，簽約兩年，這邊廂另一個袋鼠兵巴域斯，就「跳」番香港加盟東方。東方繼先後簽入法圖斯等七個球員後，噚日公佈簽入前南華29歲中鋒巴域斯，填補同鄉麥阿里士打離隊嘅空缺；而球隊仲表明仍有新球員加盟，盡收天下兵器！身高1米88嘅巴域斯，前季季中加盟南華，雖未能領軍衞冕聯賽錦標，但上陣18場仍為球隊攻入13球。另外前元朗鋒將蘇沙加盟南區。

梁芷珊當選足總董事

足總今日舉行董事會選舉，除會長霍震霆及主席梁孔德無對手下連任外，而前足總主席康寶駒與飛馬創會董事梁芷珊參選，自動當選足總董事。南華足主張廣勇要挑戰獲球圈多個派系支持的貝鈞奇及王威信，角逐兩個董事席位，據悉入局機會甚微。

東方昨獲巴域斯加盟

大公報訊：港超聯足球隊東方昨宣佈獲澳洲中鋒巴域斯加盟，其原屬球會澳洲墨爾本騎士也宣佈了該球員離隊的消息。曾在香港效力南華的巴域斯，在2013年至14年度球季後未獲新合約，之後轉戰印度，今年初重返墨爾本騎士，轉投東方前在澳洲維多利亞省超聯上陣11仗入8球。簽入巴域斯後，東方今夏已有8名新兵。

東方簽南華舊將巴域斯

香港文匯報訊　港超足球隊東方昨日公佈，簽入曾力南華的澳洲中鋒巴域斯，成為球隊今夏第八簽，兼填補同鄉麥阿里士打離隊的空缺；東方總監梁守志表示，該29歲中鋒前季加盟南華僅半季已攻入十數球，足見其入球力有保證。

巴域斯再來港加盟東方

(星島日報報道)東方昨宣布，廿九歲的澳洲前鋒巴域斯來季將從墨爾本騎士加盟。此子曾於一四年為南華效力，助球隊奪高級組銀牌冠軍，巴域斯加盟東方正好與新帥楊正光再續前緣。

東尼 本地體壇 東方三千萬組軍

未能在首屆港超聯重建「王朝」的東方，在來季再次大灑金錢。繼羅致法圖斯、鞠盈智、麥保美、徐德帥及鄭璟昊後，昨又成功簽下前南華的巴域斯及傑志的曾至孝，令東方實力如虎添翼。

兩年前為南華披甲的澳洲中鋒巴域斯，已通過體檢而獲東方一紙合約。東方副總監歐偉倫表示，球隊已定下了中、長期的目標，包括四年內要挑戰亞足盃冠軍、七年內要問鼎亞洲聯賽冠軍盃，為要配合發展目標，招兵買馬及加強青訓工作是在所必然，故此，球隊新一季班費將增至三千萬，而東方新一季也會年輕化外，更會保留一眾骨幹洋將，包括應屆足球先生基奧雲尼、美路史拿域、聶凌峰、羅拔圖及迪高等。並寄望巴域斯可以提升球隊的進攻能力，同時亦可以分擔基奧雲尼的入球工作。

他最後補充，雖然球隊大手簽入多名球員及從黃大仙回收多名年輕小將，但為顧球員的上陣機會着想，會方將會外借部分球員予YFC澳滌，作為青訓上的投資。

港隊如期參加世大運 另外，雖然韓國「新沙士」疫情仍未放緩，但世界大學生運動會仍然如期舉行，港隊昨進行授旗儀式宣布參賽，只是有部分項目退出。

Kai Tak Sports Hub - government confident Legco finance committee will approve HK$62.7 million Government confident finance committee will approve HK$62.7 million for pre-construction work despite warnings of a lengthy debate

The government is optimistic HK$62.7 million will finally be granted for pre-construction work on the proposed Kai Tak Multi-purpose Sports Complex (MPSC), despite warnings of a lengthy and controversial debate at Friday's Legislative Council Finance Committee meeting.

Senior official Jonathan McKinley is hoping it will be passed swiftly so work can start on the new hub, which will have a 50,000-seater stadium with a retractable roof by 2021.

"We are expecting this item to be discussed at the Legco Finance Committee on Friday," said McKinley, deputy secretary for Home Affairs. "Once the funding is approved, we will be able to issue tenders for pre-construction work.

"We can then appoint technical and quantity surveying consultants who will help us scope out the technical issues related to the development of the complex and provide a detailed cost estimate for the main design, construction and operation contract," McKinley said.

The initial funding has been delayed numerous times in Legco, initially by the public works subcommittee, which dragged the issue from early this year before giving its consent after three meetings.

It was again pushed back last month after the government took the request off the agenda because of fears another issue over the new high-speed rail link between Hong Kong and Guangzhou would overshadow it.

Finance Committee chairman Tommy Cheung Yu-yan said on Tuesday new sessions would be added to deal with all the items the government had brought forward, but singled out the Kai Tak sports hub as a controversial issue and a lengthy debate was likely.

But McKinley remained hopeful and optimistic funding would be granted to start the project, which is estimated to cost HK$25 billion. Further delays would mean extra costs.

"Even if we do not secure the funding on Friday, there are further meetings scheduled before the summer recess and we will work with Legco to secure the money before mid-July.

"If the funding is approved before the summer, we should be on course for beginning construction in 2017 and completing the project by 2021," McKinley said.

The Kai Tak MPSC item is not the first on the agenda for today, but the government is confident the other issues will be quickly dealt with.

"The items scheduled to be discussed before the MPSC pre-construction work are all related to welfare and people's livelihood, and based on earlier statements from Legco members, we believe these should be dealt with reasonably swiftly, which would allow time for discussion of the MPSC item," McKinley said.

HKFA board elections favour insiders, says South China candidate Wallace Cheung The Caroliners' convenor says board elections can be easily manipulated

The voting system in Friday's Hong Kong Football Association board election was vulnerable to manipulation by insiders and worked against prospective directors, candidate Wallace Cheung Kwong-yung said.

The South China convenor, who took over the team last season and is standing for office in the election, said the system that was adopted in March made it possible for some candidates to garner just two votes to win a seat on the board of directors.

In two of the four categories of director to be voted upon today, the number of candidates matches the number of seats available, meaning they will effectively be voted in by just the proposer and the seconder.

"There are 51 member clubs of the association and two votes can decide a director," said Cheung. "I don't think it's fair and reasonable. Why can't they put all candidates together and those nine with the highest number of votes can become the directors."

Cheung, who is one of three nominees for the club-linked directors (six years), said the system could be manipulated by insiders. "If you know beforehand how many people will enter one category, you can easily win it as unopposed. The soccer community in Hong Kong is very small and it wouldn't be too difficult to do this," he said.

The South China boss challenges two incumbents - vice chairman Pui Kwan-kay and Yuen Long boss Wong Wai-shun - in his category, in which there are two seats up for grabs.

"I know my winning chances are slight, but I am carrying on because I have a passion for soccer and want more people from outside to help develop the sport. You can never improve without competition," he said. "In the end, it's up to the clubs to make their decision."

A spokesman for the HKFA said all election rules were stated clearly in the new constitution approved at an extraordinary general meeting in March.
