HONG KONG CHINA SUCCESS AT ASIA RUGBY U20 SEVENS

A phenomenal effort from the Hong Kong China U20 men’s and women’s 7s in India, meant the teams brought home gold and silver medals from the Asia Rugby U20 Sevens.

In last night’s finals, after two days of intense competition, our men claimed a convincing 33-0 win against Sri Lanka to take the title, while our women showed amazing grit but came up just short against China in a narrow 29-21 defeat. 

In hot conditions in Bihar, played out in front of a large and energetic home crowd, several Hong Kong China players stood out including Sophie Aranha and James Kee, who ran in a number of tries in tight matches, and Elizabeth Stanton and Matthew Rickard, who were both reliable off the boot.

Coaches reaction to follow.
