Every Saturday afternoon from 3:05 to 4 we'll be having a Sports Break with pundits Carlos Escueta and Pete Laverick, to bring you news, views, and interviews from the world of sport, both home and away.
It’s a busy, action-packed episode of Sports Break this week, starting with a wrap up on Hong Kong’s week-long Football Festival. With English giants Manchester City having come into town, Carlos had the chance to sit at a round table interview with star player Antoine Semenyo at a press event in Kowloon Bay. Tune in to hear the Ghana international’s personal journey and career as a pro footballer. Later, we catch up with Manila-based sportscaster Sev Sarmenta to dive into this past week’s historic victory for Philippine tennis ace Alex Eala, who became the first-ever Filipina player to win a WTA-500 title in Washington DC.
This week, we welcome Malaysia-based football commentator Spencer Robinson, as we dive into new English Premier League season kicking off in just a few days. Can Arsenal repeat? Which teams made the biggest offseason moves? And what teams are flying under the radar? Later, RTHK’s football correspondent Chris Lau walks us through what local football fans can expect from the upcoming season of the Hong Kong Premier League, which begins next Friday night at Mong Kok Stadium. Also, more on the lasting impact of Hong Kong’s Football Festival, which wrapped up last week at Kai Tak Stadium with roaring success.
