Hong Kong Senior Shield is an one-leg knockout cup competition which was established in 1902. The knockout format has been used except in 1982-1983 and 1996-1997 seasons. In 1982-1983, group matches format was used. In 1996-1997, a double knock-out system were used. Before 1978, a re-match would be played after a draw. After 1978, extra time and penalty kicks were used. Penalty shootouts have been used for 3 times in history (1988, 1994, 1995).
South China won the most number of trophies, including 9 times before WWII (1929,1931,1933,1935,1936,1937,1938,1939,1941) and 19 times after WWII (1949,1955,1957,1958,1959,1961,1962,1965,1972,1986,1988,1989,1991,1996,1997,1999,2000,2002). Other frequent winners are Seriko, Eastern, and Sing Tao (for other winning teams, refer to Teams ranked by number of titles).
Lee Kin Wo is the player who has won the most number of Senior Shield. He won it for 10 times between 1987 and 2005. (Eastern: 1987, 1993, 1994; South China: 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003; Sun Hei: 2005). Ho Yin Fan and Wu Kwok Hung have won the competition for 9 times.
There are 3 teams after WWII which won Senior Shield immediately after their promotions to First Division League. They are Rangers (1966), Jardines (1969) and Seriko (1973).
In 1987-1988, it was the first time to have external sponsor for the competition. Camel Paints sponsored the competition for 6 consecutive years. In 1993-1994, the sponsor was Emperor Financial Services Group. In 2003-2004 and 2004-2005, SunRayCave Corporation Limited was the sponsor and the most recent sponsor is Choi Fung Hong Limited.
One of the most unexpected results in the competition history is a 6:5 win by Army against Happy Valley in 1965. At the time, Army was at the bottom of theFirst Division League and had to reglate to the Second Division next season while Happy Valley was the league Champion.
[edit] Trivia
In 1981-1982, Eastern has invited English football legend Bobby Moore to play in the final. The 40-year-old famous player played for 12 minutes only in the match, which Eastern won Rangers by 4-0.
