Fast, Femme and Furious

Over 30 teams from 10 clubs participated in Valley RFC‘s Fast, Femme and Furious at a sun-soaked King’s Park on the 4th September

Showcasing women’s hockey, rugby and netball the competitive action was much appreciated by players young and old after the extended Covid enforced cancellation of team sport across Hong Kong.

At the end of a hot day’s rugby action, USRC Tigers emerged victorious, beating the host’s Valley RFC in the final. The hosts triumphed in the netball, while HK Football Club won the hockey event.

Valley‘s Grant Beuzeval commenting after the event described Fast, Femme and Furious as “A joyous celebration and showcase of female sport” adding that the club hopes to grow the event and create “Asia’s premier female multi-sports festival”.
