Revolution Ladies play rugby and joined the HKRFU league in 2004. We play hard and train hard, work together to achieve our team goal. As a team, we are just like a family. It’s not just about training and rugby on the field, we also have many activities and gatherings off the field.
As a club, through a series of training, we aim at helping players to develop correct sports attitudes: enthusiasm for sports, never give-up sportsmanship, well-behaved, being humble and showing respect to other side, team-mates and judges, mature encouragements within team-mates and stronger team spirit. More importantly, to apply all these attitudes to players’ daily lives.
We are welcome everyone who wishes to play rugby and join us together. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have interest to get experience of playing rugby!~

Singapore’s Savour gourmet food event makes it local debut at this year’s WTA Hong Kong Tennis Open at Victoria Park. Savour is a little different in that it offers award-winning or Michelin starred food at prices between $50-100/dish. Yes, it’s not a full sized dish, but the portions of the dishes available at the preview were pretty generous – and the food quality was excellent.
HK’s first Savour festival features 12 booths offering slightly bigger than bite-sized dishes from a range of local and international restaurants – and several of the short three or four dish menus will change later in the week so there’s a good reason to go more than once.
Is it any good, yes – although there’s probably not enough chairs and you’ll end up spending more than you expect because you’ll want to try the wide range of dishes on offer.
What’s there to eat?
Bistro du Vin, Hong Kong Cod brandade, soft egg Lamb ribs, petit pois, garlic Banana crumble

Wu rallied strongly to draw even at 4-4 in the first set. The Australian – who showed her frustration at how hard Wu fought – though had too much for Hong Kong’s no1 running out a straight sets winner 6-4, 6-2.

The local Public Security Bureau for Wuhan University published a quite extraordinary list of ways to avoid getting raped, which was then republished by Sina Guangdong.
So, to avoid being having your dignity taken away, here are nine suggestions from a Chinese police authority:
1: Don’t take illegal cabs. (If you do,) get into the habit of memorising the license plate. Sit in the back seat, and pretend to make a call.
Woman on phone: “Husband, come out and pick me up! The license plate of the car is xxx”.
2: Carry a small spray bottle that contains Fengyoujing (a medicated balm lotion), and spray it into the eyes of any attacker.
3: Throw your wallet somewhere far away instead of passing it over to the attacker.
Person throwing: Fly away!
4: If you want to take a picture of the bad man, you can pretend to be talking on the phone and surreptitiously record him by pointing the back of the phone towards him.
Be very careful using this one! If you are discovered doing this, you will die a grisly death.
5: Sometimes, teeth can be more effective than your own hands.
Cannibal: If you’re not careful, you’ll have eaten the attacker.
6: Cut your fingernails into this shape. A blunt cut is fine, don’t make them too long or else they may break unexpectedly.
7: Upon being raped*, you should defecate or urinate if you can, or stick your fingers down your throat to vomit.
An ordinary person will wilt at this sight.
8: Carry a pen on your person (with the exception of a lead pencil). This is more convenient than a knife because you are able to pass through a security checkpoint.
The Hong Kong Cricket Club Women’s Rugby Team (a.k.a. HKCC Babes) is a surprisingly diverse group of ladies with a common focus – to make friends and annihilate the opposition!
Rugby is a tough physical and mental game and we are serious about performing our best, both individually and as a team. We train and work hard together to achieve that. Competing, and hopefully winning, is HKCC Babes’ main motivation and guiding ambition.
But when the final whistle blows, we also believe that rugby is a social sport… and there’s no better way to meet fun people and establish friendships (sometimes for life) than by joining in, boots and all. HKCC Babes is a team where diversity really works. We come from many different countries, professions and levels of experience in rugby, yet we get on together as a tight-knit team, on and off the pitch.
The Hong Kong Cricket Club also provides amazing support and facilities for the team both for training and social opportunities. Our active, rolling social calendar makes it easy for new comers to join-in and to get to know everyone. If you like the sound of all this and enjoy taking the rough with the smooth, why not contact us to learn more?
