HISTORICAL DOUBLE FOR HKFC
It took 93 minutes and the boot of Glyn Hughes to seal the first Saxo Markets Grand Championship for Natixis HKFC.
PERFECT SEASON FOR VALLEY BLACK LADIES
A dominating first half saw Societe Generale Valley Black Ladies too much for Borrelli Walsh USRC Tigers, running out 36-15 winners at the KPMG Grand Championship Finals. This concludes another fantastic season for the infamous “Red and Black Rugby Machine”, with a League and Grand Championship double and a 100% win rate! In the Women’s Premiership A Final, Kerry Hotel Kowloon Rugby were victorious over SCAA Causeway Bay Phoenix, in a tight game that finished 12-7.

A REPEAT OF A DIFFERENT KIND
It was groundhog day down at Sports Road for the Saxo Markets Grand Championship semi-finals…although without the actual groundhog, or anyone else for that matter as the game took place “behind closed doors” in support of the Novel Coronavirus containment measures! It was a repeat of last year’s match-ups, however, with very different results, as both Societe Generale Valley and Natixis HKFC took their revenge and defeated Bloomberg HK Scottish and Herbert Smith Freehills HKU Sandy Bay respectively to book their places in the Final.
