HKFC 32–5 Tai Po Dragons

Two years ago the Tai Po Dragons and HKFC Newedge Ice combined to field a single team for women’s 15-a-side rugby. This season, in a sign of the continued development of women’s rugby in Hong Kong, they fielded separate teams, though the camaraderie between them has never faded. Nevertheless, after two games and two losses, the Ice Ladies were determined to celebrate their first win of the season, even if it was at the expense of their old allies. And that put an extra edge on the game between the two sides that kicked off at 4:30pm on October 19 at the HK Football Club in Happy Valley.

The Ice Ladies got a boost to their confidence within the first five minutes when Royce Chan ran in a try for HKFC. That didn’t stop the Tai Po ladies putting up a strong fight, constantly competing for the ball but the Ice girls kept creating breaches in the Tai Po defensive line. Last week’s game had taught Ice that they needed more strength and aggression at the breakdown, and with that lesson firmly in mind, defending the ball in the ruck and keeping possession became the rule of the game: Daniella Means and Kim Kan scored additional tries and Helen Lee converted for a half time score of 17-0.

Going into the second half, the energy of the Ice team was peaking, and lessons learned in hard training sessions were obviously bearing fruit. But the Tai Po Dragons came back with a vengeance, determined to put some points on the board; which they did with a try. Then, as both teams started to tire, handling errors crept into the game resulting in frequent turnovers and some messy play in the middle of the half. Still, before the final whistle the Ice girls scored three more tries, two for Daniella Means (taking her to a hat trick) and another for Fiona Atkinson.

It might have been a pitched battle on the field but in true sporting spirit at the end of the tussle the two teams gathered to thank each other for a great game and hug old teammates. It was a fitting end to a competitive game of rugby.

Pizza Express World Cup Sponsorship Draft

hkfc-ice-vs-cwb-scrum-20161022

HKFC Ice kicked off against CWB Phoenix with an unintended late start at Kings Park courtesy of typhoon Haima. Ice had a noisy crowd of enthusiastic supporters there to cheer them on.

Rosie Hopewell-Fong led the girl’s from the start, implementing a pre-planned kicking strategy to exploit the space. The chasing backs earning Ice an early penalty. HKFC looked threatening, exerting pressure and keeping the ball deep in the CWB’s half. On 14 minutes, an excellent drive for the line by Rosie Hopewell-Fong opened the scoring.

CWB put together some fast passages of play and notable scrums from their forwards; however HKFC’s solid defence and some exceptional tackling from Crystal Wray on the wing prevented them from gaining the possession. With both sides kicking for territory and looking for a line break, the majority of action was in the middle of the pitch as the first half drew to close.

Ball and handling errors from both sides resulted in a few missed opportunities for HKFC. Two yellow cards were presented to CWB for foul play. Ice exploited their numerical advantage and Captain, Bobby Wilson scored a hard earned second try just before the whistle. Half-time 10-0.

After the break, CWB looked to pick-up the intensity of their game, as they did so though the errors started to creep in and several dropped balls and Ice took full advantage of CWB’s generosity as Bobby Wilson scored her second try of the afternoon, converted by Rosie Hopewell-Fong’s 17-0.

Exciting, yet scrappy game play at times from both teams fighting for their place. Ice made some changes with Angelina Cheung and Maggie Wong off replaced by Nina Pirie and Natalia Lech. Relentless pressure from CWB looking for a way back into the game was finally rewarded with a converted try.

With 5 minutes to go, more subs for HKFC; Jamie Ho for Stephanie Siu, Denise Chan off for Doris Chen and Amy Kong on for Royce Chan. These fresh legs combined to set up HKFC Ice’s Crystal Wray for a fourth try and surely seal the game with 3 minutes to go. CWB replied quickly penetrating a wide gap up the middle to secure a well deserved second converted try. Final score 22-14.
