Hong Kong Cricket Club Women’s Rugby Team – HKCC Babes

HKCC Babes 2014

The Hong Kong Cricket Club Women’s Rugby Team (a.k.a. HKCC Babes) is a surprisingly diverse group of ladies with a common focus – to make friends and annihilate the opposition!

Rugby is a tough physical and mental game and we are serious about performing our best, both individually and as a team. We train and work hard together to achieve that. Competing, and hopefully winning, is HKCC Babes’ main motivation and guiding ambition.

But when the final whistle blows, we also believe that rugby is a social sport… and there’s no better way to meet fun people and establish friendships (sometimes for life) than by joining in, boots and all.  HKCC Babes is a team where diversity really works. We come from many different countries, professions and levels of experience in rugby, yet we get on together as a tight-knit team, on and off the pitch.

The Hong Kong Cricket Club also provides amazing support and facilities for the team both for training and social opportunities. Our active, rolling social calendar makes it easy for new comers to join-in and to get to know everyone.  If you like the sound of all this and enjoy taking the rough with the smooth, why not contact us to learn more?

Hong Kong Scottish Day @ Kings Park – 24 August, 2013

The 3rd Hong Kong Scottish Day takes place on 24th August at Kings Park and marks the start of the HK Domestic season for 2013/14. While already a much anticipated and popular event on the rugby calendar, this year’s tournament will have the added excitement of being the first leg of the first “Kings of the Sevens” series, which will also incorporate the DeA 7s on 7th September and the Country of Origin on 15th March, 2014.

There will be Premiership, Championship and Women’s Divisions, and the draw for the Premiership 7s section at HK Scottish Day has thrown up some mouth-watering clashes to start the season with hosts HK Scottish drawn in a tough group against last year’s league champions Kowloon and runners up HKFC in the Tartan Group, The Presidents VII round off the group.

In the Caledonian Group, DeA will take on Grand Champions Valley and GC runners up HKCC while Tin Shui Wai will be looking spring a surprise or two.

The teams will play in a round robin format within their groups with the winners of each group going into the Cup Final, runners up in the Plate and 3rd place team in the Bowl.
