Discovery Bay Win Mixed Tag Rugby League Championship

A Discovery Bay inspired team have won the inaugural Hong Kong Mixed Rugby League Tag Championship at an all day tournament at Kings Park. The team overcame a strong CWB team 5-2 in an exciting and competitive final with two tries from Tissia Polycarpe and a try from Guido Philips (female tries count for 2 points) to clinch the win!

The tournament featured 7 teams playing 15 minute games, firstly in a round robin pool to decide the four semi finalists. Then it was knock-out tag, except of course there’s no contact in tag.

Mixed Tag Rugby League is a low-contact version of Rugby League, which features seven players – four male and three female with rolling substitutions – on the field at any one time. Players wear Velcro tags around their waist, at least one of which needs to be removed to constitute a ‘tackle’.

Just like Tackle Rugby League, players are allowed six plays to try and score or attempt to move the ball as far down the field as possible. Players are also allowed to kick, making Tag Rugby League very similar in style to the Tackle version of the code..

Man of the Tournament was Discovery Bay resident Mathew Zoller – local DB Dragons Football coach and Most Improved Player went to Oliver Rendal – local Discovery bay Mobsters football player both non rugby player’s so for them to win is sweeter.
