Hong Kong women’s 7s team will take part in the Asian Sevens series this weekend and coach Anna Richards is happy with her squad’s preparation for the tournament. Training has been going well in recent months and Royce Chan will again captain the side.
“We’ve been back in full training since the start of June and they’re doing well. First and foremost we’ve only really been concentrating on core skills and I think the players have improved immensely since they first started nearly a year ago,” she said.
“The amount of training they’ve been doing really showed up in their performances in the Asian Four Nations over the summer. Their skills were much better.”
Richards is also concentrating on trying to get more girls through from junior up to senior level. “It’s important we identify talent and develop that talent as soon as we can,” she said.
Hong Kong Women’s Sevens Squad:
Royce Chan (captain), Christy Cheng, Amelie Seure, Chrissy Gordon, Melody Li, Ivy Kwong, Lai Pou Fan, Candy Chen, Rose Fong, Natasha Olsen-Thorne, Lindsay Varty, Aggie Poon
