SCAA Causeway Bay RFC

SCAA Standard Life CWB Phoenix is one of the oldest women teams locally and joined the HKRFU rugby league in 1997. In previous seasons, SCAA CWB Pheonix fielded one 10’s women team and one 15’s women team. In the 2014-15 season as part of the long-term development of the club and with a growth in members, we will have two 15’s women teams as we work to achieve our team goal of winning the league title.

Throughout training, we aim at developing players’ skills and attitudes towards playing rugby. However, we also focus on the team as a whole on team spirit and team structure. Besides our games on the field, we also have a lot of social events and gatherings to build up friendship among each team members.
We welcome anyone who is interested to play rugby and feel free to join us. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Valley RFC Ladies Rugby

Established in the early 1990’s, Societe Generale Valley Ladies Rugby team has grown to be one of the most successful women’s rugby club teams in Hong Kong. From our humble beginnings, the team has made incredible progress in terms of on-field rugby achievements and introducing new players into the game of rugby. In our short history, we have gone from having a few ladies playing the odd game of touch rugby to being able to field two 15’s women’s teams into two separate divisions – Valley Black ladies and Valley Red ladies. We have been league winners and grand championship winners in previous years and continue to strive adding to our trophy cabinet.

Valley Black ladies are a team made up of girls with international playing experience as well as those who are experienced with the game. This team plays in the HKRFU Women’s 15’s division 1 league. Valley Red ladies are a team made of up of both experienced and development players as well as those who are new to the game. This team plays in the HKRFU Women’s 15’s division 2 league. We also have several minis and colts teams with young girls playing in the different age group teams. These girls eventually feed into our women’s team through a clear pathway of rugby development.

Not only do we play rugby, but we have a great social scene too with lots of regular off the field events throughout the year, including our street party, annual rugby tours to Macau and another Asian destinations (previous years including Shanghai, Philippines and Singapore).

Whether you are fast or slow, big or small, new or experienced, social or serious, there is a place for you at Valley RFC. We train at Happy Valley rugby pitch every Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30pm – 9:00pm. Games are played on Saturday afternoons.

Revolution Together – RSRC Ladies Rugby

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!~

Hong Kong Cricket Club Women’s Rugby Team – HKCC Babes

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?

University ‘Unicorns’ Rugby Football Club

The ‘Unicorns’ are a group of determined, dynamic, sophisticated (and magical) rugby playing girls who enjoy the competitiveness of the 10’s league. Since our formation in 2010, we have had a variety of different nationalities in the herd, each bringing with them diversity, experience, a range of intelligence and the odd cooled beverage.

As a team, we aim to work together to achieve success. With steady performances in the league over the last few seasons and local beach rugby competitions, the team is growing in stature and skill. The many social events the club provides also add to the sense of unity within the team, with annual tour being the highlight for many players.

We warmly invite anyone who wishes to gain rugby experience to join with us – whether complete beginner or experienced player there will be a place for you in our team. Feel free to contact us with any further questions!
