Trivia

• Yuen Long, by winning the FA Cup, prevented Seiko from capturing all the 6 major trophies (First Division, Senior Shield, Viceroy Cup, Chairman's Cup, Wooden Shield and FA Cup) in the season.
• Despite losing the cup, Seiko kept the record of losing no matches in the 90-minute time among all local competitions in the season.
