Rugby Premiership

On the final day of the Rugby Premiership regular season last Saturday Feb 20, Societe Generale Valley collected the League Champion’s trophy after completing a resounding season of 14 wins with only one loss giving them 64 points, 22 points ahead of their nearest rivals.

Three close matches were seen in the Hong Kong Rugby Premiership last Saturday. Borrelli Walsh USRC Tigers and Society Generale Valley notched up a hard fought wins, while Natixis HKFC picked up their second win of the season at Aberdeen.

Societe Generale Valley maintained their winning start to the Hong Kong Premiership season?, with a comfortable 25-0 victory over Leighton Asia HKCC, and remain top of the league. Despite the score line, it was a tightly contested match. HKCC had enough possession and territory to warrant a closer score, but the tenacious Valley defense, coupled with some poor finishing by HKCC, meant HKCC did not get momentum on the scoreboard at any point in the match.

The big news of the HKRFU Premiership matches last Saturday was Bloomberg HK Scottish beating league leaders Leighton Asia HKCC 23-13 at Shek Kip Mei to draw level on 32 points with the cricketers but HK Scottish still trail on “points difference”.
