The highly anticipated first game of the season lived up to expectations for the Unicorns, the majority of who also were experiencing their first ever competitive game of rugby. The game started at a frantic pace with HKFC taking an early lead due to a few ineffective Unicorn tackles. The Unicorns charged back though, with a try from Antje Cosgrove and some good breaks of the HKFC defence. The opposition picked their game up and with some strong evasive running regained the lead. A nice solo try from newbie Karen Chiu gave a little hope but the day wasn’t to end in a opening day win for the Unicorn herd. Nevertheless, a good contest and a good natured game giving an encouraging start to the season, and, with a little more game experience, the unicorns will be a force to be reckoned with!
