YMCA MAKE HKSSF HISTORY!

22nd May 2019

This year’s Hong Kong School Sports Federation “All Hong Kong Inter-School Rugby Sevens Championship” was held over the past weekend, with a promotional theme of comic book heroes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oxW4fgvPV4

 

40 teams had battled their way through to the 5 age grade finals, qualifying from over 100 whose journey began way back in November at the New Territories and HK Island/Kowloon regional heats.

 

There were more than a few heroes and heroines on the pitch, as players and refs put aside the sweltering conditions to produce some exhilarating rugby, but deserving a special mention is YMCA Hong Kong Christian College’s Head of Rugby, Mr Iain Fraser, “Captain Tung Chung”, who was participating in his last HKSSF competition prior to retirement in July and a return to his native New Zealand.  Iain has done an incredible job building up rugby at YMCACC, and his efforts were rewarded in fitting style as his students came away having made history as the first school ever to win both Boys and Girls HKSSF A Grade 7s titles in the same year.  The Boys Final saw a repeat of last year’s line-up, but a reverse of the result, as Canadian International School were unable to defend their title.  It was also a case of “déjà vu” in the Girls Final, but this time YMCA were able to retain the silverware against Heep Yunn College, who finished runners-up again, although they still had plenty to smile about, having earlier secured the Girls C Grade Championship.  Another school with plenty to celebrate were Creative Secondary School, and the future of their rugby programme is looking particularly bright after they headed home to Tseung Kwan O with both the Boys B and C Grade Cups. 


Congratulations to all the winners, to all schools who participated in this year’s competition, and best wishes to Iain for a long, happy and healthy retirement!
