What does it say about Hong Kong to the rest of the world when Lam’s administration cannot even provide team shirts to all our Olympic athletes?
Not that you’d know it, but on one of the greatest days of his life, this is Angus Ng in a plain black emblem free shirt competing at the Tokyo Olympics for Hong Kong.
Ng was massively abused online by many pro-Beijing politicians including Nicholas Muk for not being ‘patriotic’. Only for Muk and others to find that they the politicians had made it illegal under the Regional Flag and Regional Emblem Ordinance (A602) for Ng as an unsponsored athlete to display or wear the Hong Kong emblem unless authorised by Carrie Lam… Who hasn’t (apparently) given permission for all our amazing athletes to wear the Bauhinia.
Beyond sad!
Update: Nicholas Muk’s Facebook page has been apparently been deleted, without an apology made to Ng
Sadly Sean Browne passed away today aged just 32.
Chapeau my friend, a life well lived!
There hasn’t been a rugby tournament or trophy presentation over the past decade without Sean being a supporting part and enjoying the rugby.
The HKRU announced his passing in this way.
“Sean loved Hong Kong rugby, and we loved him – there are so many special memories of him leading out our national teams and joining them for the anthem line-ups, although he wasn’t adverse on the odd occasion to pin his colours to another international team if he thought they had a better chance of winning!
….He made our lives better, as I hope we did for him”
Congratulations to Hong Kong’s Tammy Chu one of the 40 women, from 29 ICC Member countries, selected to be mentored as part of the ICC Cricket Future Leaders Programme.
The program is designed to support emerging female talent in cricket, accelerate the growth of women’s cricket and women in cricket and address the low percentage of women in leadership positions across global cricket. The initial intake will be split into two batches with the hope to build a pipeline of new female leaders in cricket.

It’s hot, humid and stormy outside at the moment, not the best of conditions to play cricket. However, if you still want to put bat on ball this summer then sign-up for the new Cricket Hong Kong Indoor Cricket League!
The new indoor tournament will be played on weekday evenings during July at the Hong Kong Cricket Club and Craigengower Cricket Club.
If you would like to enter a team or join a team contact [email protected] by 9 June, 2021.
