The Thoughts of the Chairman

Michael J. Wood Chairman

Dear Members,

I hope that all of you had a relaxing Lunar New Year break and that the Year of the Pig will be a good one for everybody. The Lion Dance at the Club on Sunday

17th February was well attended as always, with the event being a particular favourite with families. This year seemed to be particularly well attended with the children following the Lions as they went around the Club “plucking the greens”. Below are some photos of the event.

The Hockey Masters Indoor World Cup took place across the same weekend as the Lion Dance attracting 26 teams from 9 countries. All four age groups (Mens Over 40’s and Over 50’s, Ladies Over 40’s and Over 45’s) were won by the Germans although Hong Kong did exceptionally well to win a Silver Medal in the Mens Over 40’s. We were fortunate to have senior members of government and Timothy Fok, President of the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee, to assist with handing out awards.

Staying on the subject of sports, please make a note in your diaries of the following events that will be taking place in March:9th March – Rugby Grand Championship Finals day.

9th and 10th March – International Tiger Bowls tournament.17th March – Mini Rugby Festival.

This will be followed by Rugby Week with the GFI HKFC Rugby 10s competition on the 3rd and 4th April, and the HSBC/Cathay Pacific Rugby 7s on the weekend of the 5th to 8th April. As with every year, the Club will be extremely busy with Members, returning Absent Members, Reciprocal Members and Guests using the facilities.

I ask for your patience at the food and beverage outlets when they are busy as the Staff try to cope with a heavy workload. If you do have Guests coming to the Club, please ensure that you meet them at the Front Entrance as Security during this period will be enhanced.

On a sombre note, it is with regret that I have to report that Nick Grimshaw, who is a former member of the General Committee, passed away in the early hours of Friday 15th February while in hospital in Swindon. Our thoughts are with his family. Michael J. WoodChairman

From the Desk of Mark Pawley

Mark Pawley,General Manager

As the Chairman has noted in his article there is a fair bit of sport going on at the Club during the month of March and this doesn’t, of course, include the plethora

of league sports we will have during the month for Soccer, Hockey, Squash, Netball and Tennis etc (the Lawn Bowls Winter League finishes early March). So, we have a “full on” month of sport closely followed by Rugby Week in early April. And, talking of rugby, hot off the press is the news that, to date, 6 of the Rugby Sections 9 league teams have won their respective leagues which is fantastic news and they still have the Grand Championships to go!

Good luck to all our sports teams, the majority of whom are in the latter part of their respective playing seasons. Let’s hope that by season end they will all have brought home some silverware!

As regards the photo below, I am very pleased to announce that at the Annual Staff Party, Tai Chan from the Housekeeping Department was presented with the Employee of the Year Award, Harry Au from the Sportsman’s Bar was presented with the Supervisor of the Year Award, and Ester Wong from the Shop and Library was presented with the Leader of the Year Award. On the night we also presented Long Service Awards to Staff members which included 24 Staff members who had reached 5 years of Service and 3 Staff members who had reached 25 years of Service! Well done to all who were presented with their Long Service Awards. Your hard work and effort is appreciated.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Club! Mark Pawley, General Manager

APRIL PREVIEW

FOOD AND BEVERAGE


Biarritz Gavekal will bid for a rare third successive GFI HKFC 10s title at Hong Kong Football Club from April 3-4,

boosted by its strong association with French club Biarritz Olympique Pays Basque.

The side have played as UBB Gavekal in the last four 10s tournaments due to sponsor Louis-Vincent Gave’s association with Union Bordeaux Begles, a French Top 14 club. Hong Kong-based Gave is CEO of investment management firm Gavekal.

However, Gave is now President of Biarritz Olympique Pays Basque, a Pro D2 club sponsored by Gavekal, so this year the 10s team returns under a different name, but with a similar mission – to win.

Jean-Baptiste Aldige, a former Hong Kong player, will again manage the side, which will aim to be the first team to lift the Bill Burgess Cup for three straight years since New Zealand Metro won three on the trot from 2006 to 2008 – beating Penguins in the latter two finals.

Penguins, who have since won the Cup in 2013 and 2016, will again be among the top-seeded teams as they compete in the ‘World’s Best 10s’ for a 13th successive year.

Tradition YCAC will also be among the top contenders. In six years, the Kiwi-dominated squad have reached the semi-finals three times and the final three times, including last year when they lost 24-17 in the decider to Gavekal, whose four tries were scored by three of their five Fiji Sevens representatives.

Fiji will be strongly represented this year by debutants Mourant Fiji Army, who will be led into battle by strongman Isake ‘Ice’ Katonibau, who has helped the rugby-mad nation win the last four Hong Kong Sevens.

The GFI HKFC 10s line-up has also been boosted by the return of three-time champions Asia Pacific Dragons after a year’s absence.

The APDs reached the final in their first appearance in 2011 with the likes of George Gregan, Justin Marshall and Christian Cullen, then won the title in 2012, 2014 and 2015 under coach Tana Umaga.

Biarritz Gavekal target rare GFI HKFC 10s hat-trick

RUGBY 10s

Other leading sides this year include Scotland’s Projecx Waterboys, France’s Kir Club Pyrenees, and locally organised sides A-Trade Overseas Old Boys and Taikoo Place Scottish Exiles.

GFI HKFC 10s supports Cancer FundMeanwhile, Hong Kong Cancer Fund has been appointed as the Official Charity of the 34th GFI HKFC 10s. Hong Kong Cancer Fund is the city’s largest cancer support organisation, with five CancerLink support centres in the community and Cancer Patient Resource Centres at seven major public hospitals.

A registered non-profit organisation, the Cancer Fund offers all its services for free, receiving no money from the government or The Community

Sponsored by the Hong Kong-based President of French club Biarritz Olympique Pays Basque, Biarritz Gavekal are on a mission at the GFI HKFC 10s from April 3-4.

Chest. Its work encompasses psychosocial services, public education, cancer research, home care, peer support, complementary therapies, funding of hospital equipment and much more.

Sally Lo, the organisation’s founder and Chief Executive, said: “Our mission has always been to ensure that no one faces cancer alone and to improve the quality of cancer support in Hong Kong. The services we provide make a huge difference to the lives of cancer patients, survivors, their family members and caregivers.

“The side effects of cancer can last long after treatment, requiring years of ongoing follow-up care. Cancer Fund is there to support survivors as well as families. With our professional bilingual staff, our support is available to everyone touched by cancer.

“We are very honoured to partner with Gareth Wilde and the GFI HKFC 10s. Working together hand-in-hand, I believe the world’s best 10s will help put a much-needed spotlight on supporting cancer care in this city and to improve the lives of those we serve. This is an exciting opportunity for us and we’re so grateful to Gareth and his team.”

Defending champions Biarritz Gavekal are associated with French Pro D2 club Biarritz Olympic Pays Basque

RUGBY 10s

Gareth Wilde, Chairman of the tournament’s Organising Committee, said Hong Kong Cancer Fund was an ideal charity for the GFI HKFC 10s to support.

“I’ve been overwhelmed by the work done by Hong Kong Cancer Fund and inspired by Sally and all the team members we’ve already met. Their work is outstanding and we hope to play our small part in helping support the incredible services they offer across the city,” Wilde said.

“Unfortunately, cancer is something that will directly or indirectly affect many of us at some point during our lives. Our ‘I’ll be there’ tagline for this year’s GFI HKFC 10s works really well for Hong Kong Cancer Fund, which is all about supporting all of those affected.

“I’m personally very proud that the world’s best 10s is partnering such an admirable, proactive organisation that will play a strong part in this year’s event, which looks set to be the best, most competitive yet.”

GFI has title sponsored the event since 2006, while other sponsors and suppliers for 2019 include Natixis (Gold Sponsor), AIA, Allied World, DHL, Q-Net and Taikoo Place (Silver Sponsors), CBRE, Latham and Watkins, and Markel (Bronze Sponsors), Kerry Hotel (Official Sponsor), Grolsch (Official Beer), and Samurai Sportswear (Official Apparel).

I hope that everyone had an enjoyable Chinese New Year holiday, and enjoyed the lie-in on Sunday 3rd February … save for U12, where obergruppenführer Cooke ran training that morning!

Discovery Bay Pirates Beach FestivalU12G FC2With determination in their eyes (and with their parents holding large cups of coffee) the HKFC U12 girls boarded the DB ferries like modern day Viking raiders. They had only one thought on their minds as they crossed Victoria Harbour...domination at the Discovery Bay Beach Rugby Tournament. The Sandy Bay girls were first. Despite their name, they were no match for HKFC in the sand. Saidhb Martin glided effortlessly across the pitch making crushing tackles and Mia Wong and Lucy Guest zigzagged their way through the defence in a 7-0 win. Sai Kung also proved no match in a 6-0 drubbing as Natasha Hearder smashed her way through defenders before offloading to Chloe Chan who deftly passed to Aine McCoig for a beautiful try. In the next match, our girls grounded the Flying Kukris 3-0 with Brigid Warde scoring half of her 4 tries that day in quick succession with powerful runs, leaving clouds of sand spraying in her wake. In a draw against Valley in the last pool match, Lauren Lau sidestepped so many defenders that some Valley girls have reportedly retired from the sport. Winning the pool set HKFC against another Valley team for the cup final. The hard-fought final produced the inevitable result - victory for HKFC and another trophy for Club! Before boarding their ships back home, there was time for one more honour though - Aine McCoig is named Tournament MVP, the

best example on a team of winners on the beach that day.

Kim Lam Cup U12 Girls – FC1Having been crowned champions at the DB U12 girls beach tournament the previous weekend, our FC1 girls arrived brimming with confidence. First up DB and FC1 were very quickly in their groove, playing with intensity and intelligence. Some beautiful support play (everyone take a bow), quick rucking from Natasha and Saidbh and defence-splitting passes from Vaitiare resulted in two trademark scores for Jacqueline. Our scrum provided a solid base for half backs Brigid and Sierra the Fearless to keep the opposition under pressure throughout. Final Score, 3:1 WIN. Next up the mighty Stingrays and our girls stuck to their game plan perfectly, womanning up in close combat and strafing quick ball out wide to stretch a tired defence. With Olivia in fine ruck-destroying form, our girls opened their account with a try-of-the-season score by Momo. Final Score, 4:1 WIN. Next came VF’s ladies in red and a hugely physical match played entirely in the opposition half. Our girls showed great courage and game management to control this contest. Chloe open the scoring with a storming run. With Amanda tackling everything that moved to smithereens and Elsie and Mia’s gain line smashing runs, our forwards always had VF on the back foot. After another solid

scrum, Lela peeled off to race over for a second try. Final score 2:0 WIN. Last up we faced HKU in a tight and physical contest between evenly matched teams, with neither side willing to back down. Our girls put in a huge defensive effort, patiently and powerfully defending our line one ruck at a time, Lauren and Sophie defending the wings and Lauren T winning crucial turnover ball. Final score: 1:1. And with that, FC1 were the cup winners of KLT round 4.

Richard Hawkes U12 FC3 Round 3 of the Richard Hawkes competition for FC3 was a big success. Weeks of hard work and dedication at training by the boys has paid huge dividends, with the Club side going undefeated for this latest leg. This is a big turnaround for the lads from earlier in the season.

FC3 came out of the chute hard and fast against the combined Monkeys/Rhinos squad, running in 4 unanswered tries. With a short break between matches, Club started strong again, this time against the Stingrays/Tigers team, and managed 3 more unanswered tries.

After a hard-earned rest, the boys got themselves psyched up again for Match 3 against the combined PATTT squad. They kept up the pressure and intensity, scoring 4 tries. The forwards continued to win the ball and get it to the backs, who were able to make some big

runs. FC3’s tough defence was finally broken as 1 try was allowed in response.

The day’s finale saw FC3 up against perennial rivals Valley Fort 3. It was a barnstormer of a match, with the Club boys coming away with a sound 6-3 win. The match may just have been sealed, when on the re-start following a Valley try, Club forward Edwin Kong got up the field quickly and tackled the receiver, causing a turnover. Versatile player Lucas Wong was on hand to scoop up the ball and run it straight in for a try that really took the wind out of the opponents.

FC3 ended up unbeaten and on top of their table, scoring 17 tries in the process. It was a thorough team effort with the forwards digging in to win the ball, and the backs playing well on defence and keeping possession as they moved up the pitch. Bertie Fairclough had a number of runs where he simply left defenders in the dust. All players, when on the pitch or the sideline, were supportive and switched on.

Continuing to work hard at training, the FC3 boys will go into the next round of the Richard Hawkes with momentum, confidence, and camaraderie.

U10 HKFC U10 enrolled four teams for this festival, 2x A teams, 1x A-B Team and 1x B team. Sixteen games were played across the afternoon session with some great results and more importantly great Rugby (11 W, 2 L, 3 D. TF: 50 TA 21).Another festival and another great showing from the boys. A great atmosphere and facilities for all age groups. Some excellent Refereeing across the board gave the games a much more energetic and positive notes.FC2 up against VF1, and a commanding win ensued with 4 tries to Nil. This was undoubtedly one of the best wins and a very comfortable one. Great composure ensured the boys dominated the game from the start through to the end. Rucking and attacking being the main areas of excellence. Against the highly rated DBP1, WOW what a game, DBP taking the initiative and taking a well-deserved lead until FC2 woke up and managed 2 late tries to draw. Game 3 against USRC saw the boys gather their composure and win convincingly against a good side with big lads. Some heavy tackles and holding the drive from the USRC boys saw a win(4-0). Last game against another team with big units SKS2. Another performance which generated a convincing win, 6-1. The boys ending on a high with zero losses.

FC 1 were up nearly the same time and also ended up with 4 wins. Missing 2 key players who have now left Hong Kong, FC1 were about to see if the team can do it and wow did they ever.First Up saw VF2 go 2-1 up though FC1 drew on their knowledge and team work to turn the score around with 2 beautifully constructed tries from the attack and the counterruck. A pulsating game of rugby and one of the best of the day for FC1. Next up a thrashing of DB2 6-1 which then followed a tight game against another formidable team, SKS1. Coach Sam and his boys have shown over the years they can play, and they did. FC1 got a deserved win showing good team work and hard graft to get the ball over the line in the last-minute, score 2-1. Final game against HKU gave the FC1 boys a deserved route and 4 wins out of 4, score 4-1.

What we are seeing with these 2 teams is composure and an ability to play as a team.FC3 had a very good start to the afternoon. Starting against a strong VF3 they comfortably won 4-1. Again, these A-B boys are showing why they are knocking on the door for an A slot at the next festival Some fine work by all and this paved the way for the next 2 games where they beat TCRC 3-0 and followed that with a hard-fought draw with MKY2. Final game against TWR saw a different picture and they fell to 3-1 loss. This is probably down to team work and fitness, but they never gave up and they should be very proud today as they are showing how to play some great rugby now.FC4, the last team to play and deliver and they started as they meant it with 2 great wins. Against USRC2,a very convincing 3-1 win, following that they did even better and gave another reliable win against THT, 4-2 win. Up next Bulldogs from China. New to most tournaments but never the less a great team with some excellent rugby being played by these boys. Bulldogs came out on top winning 3-1. Final game, a little scrappy at time and a very difficult match to ref with some issues but never the less the boys put the loss behind them and dug deep for an even match (2-2).

Over all I have to say that the level of rugby in both sets A and B level has improved dramatically and I will say it can only get better.Let’s look to the next festival and see how we can improve and go undefeated for the whole festival.Well Done boys.

U10 Girls - FC1 and FC2The U10G were low on numbers for the Tai Po Festival and so FC1 and FC2 had to share their players. This made things a little more difficult than it should have been, particularly as FC2 had been incorrectly placed in the A tier for the festival. However, both teams rallied well and played some excellent rugby, never giving up. FC1 had good wins against DBP and VF and a draw that could have gone either way against FK. Their only loss of the day was against HKU – a strong team who have provided tough opposition every festival. Throughout the tournament, Lainie and Hannah scored some excellent tries, Sophie and Rachel made some good runs and Kelli and Lea made strong tackles. FC2 performed really well against all of the A tier sides, only going down by one try against VF1 and FK1, which was an excellent effort. Whilst the results went against us, the girls passed very well and their scramble defence was effective. All of the girls got stuck in and tries were shared throughout the day by Aimee, Ella and Evie, with Lexie, Kali and Justine making some good tackles and runs.Overall the girls can be really proud of the improvement they are making and their tenacity at the festivals. It is also good to see the strength in depth and the camaraderie within the squad – all of whom were happy to play with and support each other.

U9 - FC3The 1st game was against Shatin ShePei. After a great start and a power play from Harry, who scored the 1st try of the game, Shatin equalised shortly after. Shatin then went on a roll scoring 3 tries in a row. FC3 battled back and we saw some great rugby with scoring from Matthew, Ayushman and James to finish on 4-3. The second game was against Tai Hang Tung and the HKFC tired from the efforts of the 1st game and couldn’t keep up leading to a 4- nil loss. Luckily the lethargy didn’t last and we saw a very different team in their 3rd match against the USRC Tigers. While the Tigers opened the score we then saw a flurry of decisive actions and try from HKFC. Harry scored

U10G


followed shortly by Maurice, Kyle and James! Incredible. In a last ditch effort the USRC scored a last try but it wasn’t enough. Win for HKFC !For their last game against the DB pirates it was a very tough fight with both team not willing to give ground. The Pirates managed to score 3 tries. FC3 countered by finding space on the right side of the pitch. James was on fire and with support from the rest of the team and some nice passing managed to score 3 tries to end up a draw. Tough day with some ups and downs but hats off to the fighting spirit and resilience of our team!

Eric Champion

U8 PumasOmens didn’t look good five minutes before the Puma’s first match, with barely enough players. However, the cavalry arrived just in time and the kids tore into their games. FC7 Pumas earned a terrific opening win based on stellar defence and probing runs from Olivia Bannon and Karl Tsui. Game 2 against Discovery Bay Pirates saw Jonah Oh slice through the defence for a superb solo try; a 2-2 draw seemed likely until Austin Chen scored a late winner. FC7 also defeated East Kowloon, with tries by Rajvir Dhillon and superb defence from Alysha Leader and Kai Cochran. Game 3 saw another win against Tin Shiu Wai’s Eagles, with Archie England and Lucas James dominating through straight running and good passing. FC7 also defeated Tai Hung Tung, securing 4 wins from 4; Ayden Au deservedly scoring in the last moments of that game.

FC8 Puma’s opening game was an end-to-end scrap looking like a 2-2 draw until Amber Bourne scored a winning try with the game’s last play. FC8 then faced the Monkeys, losing 4 tries to 2, but with tenacious defence from Bram ten Berge, Myron Au and Gus O’Collins. Rousing themselves, FC8 threw everything at a strong Sai Kung Stingrays side. Strong running from Ellen Loo, and Ryan Chew, and a Herculean effort from Will Foyn (fighting a sickness bug) pushed the Stingrays hard, before succumbing to a 3:0 loss. Not the way we wanted to end, but a great team effort of which the kids could be proud.

Mark England

U7 PanthersThe Panthers demonstrated their enhanced strength, speed, and durability of the Black Panther at the Tai Po tournament. It was refreshing to see that much of what has been taught at training was put into action.Much fun was had with many tries shared amongst the team, all scored in different ways. Damian had a great bustling run the full length of the field to score. Douglas caught the opposition off guard by scoring quickly from the start of play. Erica ran through a sea of defenders to score. Josh ran across the field evading the opposition. Katie chose to run down the line to score in the corner. Sebastian found space and penetrated the opposition’s defence line. Timothy finally straightened up from the guidance of Coach Allan to score. Quick passes from Lucas and Mairead helped set up Xander to score his several of his 7 tries. Odhran, Connor and Lucas applied strong pressure in defence by getting back onside after the tackle and spread out to make an impenetrable wall. Not to be outdone by the kids, there was also great play by Coaches Hugh, Declan, Michael, Jonathan and Don with Stella with a warmup from Coach Anthony and Coach Kieran keeping kids on side with his shiny whistle.

U6 FC3 BadgersWhen the Badgers gathered at the side of the pitch shortly before their first match of the Tai Po Festival at King’s Park, you could sense there was something special in the air and this was going to be a great prelude to the up and coming 6 Nations. The kids had their game faces on (as did some parents from the night before) and were looking forward to continuing their dominant run at tournaments. After an intensive warm up led by Coach Alvin Foo, we went over the tactics again to ensure everyone was clear (catch, run, touch).The much feared defensive line, led by Jonah Flowers and Te Aihireinga Johansson, provided an excellent platform and ensured the opposition were not allowed any easy tries. It’s lucky for the opposition that it is only touch rugby at U6 level as both Jonah and Te could show Owen Farrell a thing or two about tackling. Fuelled by Weetabix (and King’s Park doughnuts), the tries seemed to come easily with direct running from George Fahey and snake hips from Abbie Fulton, while Mateo Fung and Aurelius Foo showed excellent acceleration. Sienna Wooliscroft used her twinkle toes to make some great breaks and after throwing the opposition (and her teammates and touch-line supporters) off by running towards the wrong try line, Chloe Fulton then did a U-turn to score a last minute try ‘under the posts’ to seal another great tournament, where the Badgers again went undefeated. The touch-line support from the parents continues to encourage these young players, as does the promise of a medal, or a lucky dip into a bag of goodies. It is extremely rewarding to see how much the Badgers improve from one week to the next and how much the children are enjoying their rugby. Full credit to the Badgers coaching team of Justin, Frank, Chum, Alvin, Scott and Suresh.

Hello everyone,

We are now heading towards the business end of the season, with all to play for!

In the HKFA, the First Team are in pursuit of the fully professional Happy Valley outfit who lead the way in Division 1, while Lucky Mile push for promotion from Division 2.

Wanderers are looking to retain their Yau Yee League crown, while at the same time going for the double, but Colts might have something to say about that if they can navigate their way past a tricky quarter final tie against GAS.

As ever, your support for the teams is always appreciated and one to look out for is the top of

the table clash between the First Team and Happy Valley which will take place on 31st March at 8.30pm in Kowloon Bay!

Looking at the year so far, this month we feature the annual match between The Dynamics and The Toy Trade, which as ever was a very successful evening, both on and off the pitch.

Looking forward to seeing you all around the Club!

A slow start and a handful of mixed results has the As poised to finish the regular season mid-table. Despite this, the team has strengthened and improved throughout the second half and is

hoping to have a successful run through the Holland Cup.

Newly minted HKFC player Andrew ‘AJ’ Jacobs has been lethal in front of goal and is leading the team scorers, putting a gap between himself and youngsters Sam Pijpers and Windfall Monthong. The team has also traded one junior for another. While Michael ‘Junior’ Heaven has retired to a striking role in the Bs, new addition Sam ‘Junior’ Beere has added strength and voice to the As midfield, when

Men’s A Team Update

Men’s B Team Update

At the time of writing the B’s have reached the dizzying heights of 6th in the Men’s Premier division. As the only Second team in the competition this is a great position to be in. We have completed the

double victory over Shaheen, as well as beating KCC and Pakistan Club A. The last game saw an impressive 4-1 victory over Pakistan Club, Arif Ali finding the back of the net twice, along with Robbie Patterson and Damian Tarala. In-fact our 4 wins puts us only one win behind the A team.

The long term injury to Justin Lau in nets has forced a reshuffle of Goalkeepes. Don Ng has been called up to cover for the A team, meaning that between them Andrew “Boulty” Boulton and Vincent “the Cat” have played the lions share of matches, putting in some great performances and defying their advancing years. Vincent is reminding us of why Sohail Abbas struggled to score against him.

The Arrival of Arif Ali from the A’s and the re-emergence of “the cat” at the other end has brought in years of international experience, to bolster an already experienced back line with the others albeit those with slightly less international hockey experience! The team is really starting to gel, with each “line’ having a great mix of experience and youth.

Several home grown HKFC youngsters, who are only in their debut

Hope you are all well rested and enjoying the new Year of the Pig. My first point of order is to congratulate our Ladies’ A Team on winning the league with several matches to go. At the time of

writing, our A Team had not dropped a point in the league (with 13 wins) and had only conceded two goals – quite a remarkable feat! I know they are not resting on their laurels and are going into their final league games as determined as ever to continue this winning form! I look forward to toasting their success in the weeks to come.

Over the last few weeks, we have seen some very exciting games – the Bs had an on-the-edge-of-the-seat triumph 4-0 over rivals Valley, the Dinos nabbed victory in the Division 2 Derby against the Es (3-0), the Gs stormed to a 4-0 win over the Police and the Cubs (with a goalie in pads for the first time) beat top of Division Ewis B 2-1 in what I hear was a nail-biting game. With the season ramping up into the final weeks of the league, we have a lot to look forward to (and hopefully more to celebrate)! We also have one of my favourite matches of the year – our Division 1

As we head towards the end of the season and start looking to next year, I would urge all of you to start thinking about what you can do to help out the Hockey Section next season (be it at home at HKFC or at the HKHA) – we rely on the many volunteers (whether on committee, in a team or with a whistle) to ensure that the Section runs smoothly and are always grateful for all additional help!!

Good luck over the next few weeks ladies, and look forward to seeing you on in the pitch and in the bar soon.

his ageing calves allow him. Gabriel Tsoi and Ken Tsang have locked down the defence, even enticing Reece Jecketts for a one game cameo into the back half. Don Ng has been solid in the net, stepping up early in the season after an injury sidelined Justin Lau for the duration of the playing year. Injuries and scheduling quirks have provided opportunities to the talented and upcoming juniors including David Evans, Mike Shepherdson and Justin Mak, who are likely to push for selection in the coming years.

It has been a promising season in which to welcome so many juniors through to hone their skills.

HOCKEY

Ladies A Team UpdateTwo of our A team ladies, Mel Miers and Ang Mok, have been chosen to represent Hong Kong in the International Masters Indoor World Cup 2019.

What is the Masters Indoor World Cup and why should I be interested?It’s the international indoor world cup for over 35s. The second tournament since its inaugural staging in Germany two years ago, is coming to Hong Kong, from the 14th to 17th February.

Organised by our very own Simon Sheperdson, there will be a men’s and women’s competition.

We have two of our Ladies’ A team players representing Hong Kong across two teams in the tournament, the Hong Kong Dragons O35’s, and the HK O40’s.

The HK Dragons team (O35’s) do not have any other teams in their age group so they are playing both O45 and O50 age groups. Ange Mok is playing for the HK dragons and Mel Miers is playing for the HK O40’s.

We asked the ladies to give us some key insights to the game and their preparation…

What are the key tactical differences compared to 11-aside hockey?MM: I have never played indoor before so it’s been quite a steep learning curve as there are a number of very different tactics, rules and strategies in the game, such as- 5 outfield players and a goalie or kicking back - No hitting the ball- No lifting the ball, unless at the goal- can play the ball off the boards- It’s a much faster game- You cannot move through a player if they are “set” with their stick flat on the ground.

AM: This is my first time playing indoor hockey. I definitely love the speed of the game. Due to the size of the pitch being smaller, the rebound rate leaves you barely any time to think but you are guaranteed a high intensity game.

What has the training regime been for your team? MM: Training has been twice a week since October with early morning sessions at the Club and more recent extra evening sessions at Kellett school Kowloon bay.AM: It has been difficult getting to the morning sessions as my work hours start from 8am, so I mostly join the evening sessions.

Who are the favourites going into the tournament? MM: I would say the Netherlands and Australia will be our toughest games.

How can I watch the games?The tournament is being held in three locations around Hong Kong; The Club, Boundary street and Island East Sports Centre. The play offs of both men’s and women’s can be watched at the Club on Sunday 17th February from 9am - 5pm. If you fancy watching hockey with a twist, come down to support some great hockey.

January has been a great month for the B’s! Of note, we were delighted to win over Valley A last week, with a 4-0 scoreline.

We were able to stretch the pitch long, link play creatively through the midfield and by the 4th quarter, we were setting their keeper up two or even three on one, leaving her no option other than to concede 2 goals in that quarter. Well done to the whole team who all got nominated MVPs!

The aim is to see more of this style of hockey leading into the end of season. We were also proud to have helped our A’s in this win against Valley A, making our A’s close to unbeatable this season in the league. Congratulations to them (and thanks to us!). We would also like to welcome and thank our players who have been helping us out from the C team and developing their hockey along the way. In other news, we are excited to have a number of B’s players representing HK in the Master’s Indoor World Cup in February. Well done and good luck to Samantha Hill, Sophie Lindsay, Rebecca Wilcox, Claire Watson, Claire Cairns and Elena Hobson! We will be throwing lots of B-Team vibes your way to help you get some wins on the Indoor Pitch, we know you will do us proud and play with B-team passion. Off the pitch, we are teaming up in B-team style to book a table at the upcoming Guv Dillon Fund Ball to support this amazing cause and help drive Guv’s vision of using hockey and sport to develop and support at-risk youth’s in HK. We will be emptying both our glasses and our pockets to help his dream stay alive.

Kung Hei Fat Choy everyone!! I hope you all had an enjoyable new year break and have returned to the courts

reinvigorated and gearing up for the finals. As we close in on the tail end of the season, all teams are fighting hard to gain a top four spot in the final few games. This year has seen many of the Club teams battling each other to not only reach finals but also gain some bragging rights within the Club. And, with such a tight battle, especially in the top 2 Divisions, it’s going to be anyone’s game.

Chairwoman’s Letter We have also finalised and sent out invitations for our annual International Tournament held in November this year. Teams from around the world will battle it out over two full days of netball to take home a cash prize at the end of the competition, and of course we all love the chance to socialise and talk netball with new friends from near and far.

Typhoons vs Sonics – 14th JanuaryArguably game of the season! For those who were there, you may have had to blink twice when Typhoons took off with several goals and turnovers off the bat against Sonics. It probably helped that we went in with zero expectations, being attuned to the regular floggings we normally receive when playing them.

It is hard to single out any player, or any particular moment in the game which contributed to it being such a fun, hard fought and close game; we gelled, we all executed our roles at 110% and the results speak for themselves; Q1: 9-2 to HKFC, Q2: 14-21 to Sonics, Q3: 21-28 to Sonics, Final: 34-27 to Sonics.

BUT, some special mentions must go to – Hannah, Netra, Jacqui – shooting accuracy was on point, you manned up and didn’t let their defensive pressure get to you. Jacqui – for killing it in GK without any training/game time in GK all season! Amelia, Kato, Cat – for always being options when defence struggled to get the ball down, and for pushing that little bit extra when it was necessary to beat their strong defence.

her there and certainly learnt some valuable new skills to improve their netball. It was at this session that we were also lucky enough to meet the team from Liquidnet, our netball sponsors for the next few years. We are extremely excited to have Liquidnet on board and look forward to building on this budding partnership.

That’s all from me for now, and to all our current players play smart, play fair and play nice on the road to finals!!

Steph, Tash, Gemma – for completely rattling the shooters and making them work hard for every ball.

Tornadoes vs HKCC Dragons – 14th JanuaryOur first Division 2 (!) game back after the New Year break proved to be tough. We were all so happy to set the pace and start in our new division on a winning streak. The opposition was tough and we were down by 6 goals in the first quarter which pushed us to change a few positions and mark up on defence. By half time we were down 16-7 but we knew with a few goals we could level up by third quarter. With our shooters getting one in after another, we were up to 15-24. We knew we were still in it to win it but maybe after the break our skills needed a little more fine turning, with HKCC taking home the win with 32-18.

Tornadoes vs Sonics – 21st JanuaryPlaying against the flashy pink Sonic Stars, Tornadoes were keen to snag a win. Over the first quarter each team was taking a goal each, ending with Tornadoes taking the lead by simply one goal. Similarly, the second quarter reflected the same tough clash, with Tornadoes again, leading by only one goal. Important switches were made during halftime, with a more agile attacking team required to avoid the

tight defences Sonic Stars were putting on. As the battle dragged on, Tornadoes made shorter yet definitive passes in and around the circle which made it more difficult for the opponents to intercept. Ultimately, the game concluded with a tie at 25 goals each, and both teams agreeing that it was one of the most enjoyable games played during so far this season.

Typhoons vs Club – 21st JanuaryReeling from the high of last week’s match against Sonics, Typhoons were determined to score an equally exciting game against the top of the league team, Club. This was a match we knew we would be tested – physically and mentally. A challenge that was softened by the fact our opponents wore the same HKFC crest, and we were playing on our home turf.

First quarter saw Club lead by 11 points. Undeterred by the score, Typhoons persevered to focus on the goals we set out for ourselves. At halftime, Club pulled away leading 32-4. We saw this opportunity to switch around our line up - adding more height in our defence and speed in our centre court. As the game continued, we managed to score a milestone of 2 additional points, whilst Club powered away and scored another 8, with the final score ending at 56-9.

Joline Henry X Juniors

This month’s highlight for the Juniors was a special coaching session on Wednesday 23rd January with one of the most internationally acclaimed players and former New Zealand Silver Fern, Joline

Henry.

Having represented New Zealand for 11 years and with nearly 100 Test caps to her name, Joline has competed in both the Commonwealth Games and World Championships, obtaining both Gold and Silver Medals for her country. Having retired from international Netball in 2015 Joline is now a key member of our undefeated senior HKFC Club side.

We were delighted too that this session, coached by Joline for our U12 and U14 girls, was also attended by the HKFC Netball DSA sponsor Liquidnet’s CEO Lee Porter. It was a great opportunity for our sponsors to see how their generous investment in the DSA is helping the youth develop their sporting skills from a young age.

For one hour, the girls were put through their paces under Joline’s direction, where they were taught key ball and game skills by a true legend of the game in a fun and inclusive atmosphere. Something that is integral to all we do in the Juniors. All had an excellent session and one we hope to repeat with the other Junior age groups going forward.

Liquidnet is pleased to join HKFC Netball Section as a sponsor for the next three netball seasons. So who are we? Liquidnet is a global institutional

trading network – simply put, we help connect investors with investments. We’ve been here in Hong Kong since 2007, with offices across Asia-Pacific, the United States and Europe – we now operate in 46 markets and 6 continents. Our clients include large asset managers – the companies who run (or will run, for those a little more junior) your MPF. Our aim is to help them do what they do more efficiently and effectively with our technology so that they can achieve better returns – which ultimately should mean better returns in your own MPFs. We’ve been a sponsor of HKFC Hockey Section for several years, and look forward to our involvement now with HKFC Netball. If you’d like to know more about Liquidnet, take a look online at www.liquidnet.com

Our thanks go to Joline for her time and expertise, all the girls for their enthusiastic participation and finally to Lee Porter and Liquidnet, who we are very proud to introduce to the wider Club community as our major sponsor.

After being in existence for over two years, the HKGTA were becoming rather frustrated with no-one in Hong Kong

knowing who they are and people calling up asking if they can book their driving range. So in an attempt to spread the word, they kindly invited the Golf Society to come out to their facility and check it out.

Helped no doubt by the fact that they offered the whole experience for free (including use of the range, tour of the facility, slap-up dinner, and 12 holes of night golf), we rapidly assembled a group of 28 enthusiastic members to join the trip.

Night Golf at the Hong Kong Golf and Tennis AcademySaturday 19th Jan 2019

A new way to play golf!

Given the generosity of the HKGTA, the Golf Society decided that we would provide transport for free, so we piled into a bus outside the Club, and set off at 4pm on a Saturday afternoon. The trip was reasonably short (luckily not near a rush hour) and we were welcomed at the Academy. After a short tour of their impressive facility, we were then shown to their splendid driving range which has about 40 bays on two levels, and hit balls onto their multiple artificial greens for about half an hour. They have those splendid little machines which tee up all your balls for you, for those who find bending over to tee them up yourself too stressful (eg me!) We then headed off to one of their numerous food outlets to enjoy a very pleasant dinner and chat with their staff.

After that, we were ushered back to the golf area where the balls had all been cleared from the 6 artificial greens, and the flagsticks had all been festooned with fairy lights. We were divided into 7 teams of 4, and had a shotgun start on the 6 holes. As there were 7 teams, this meant one team had to sit out initially, which was no hardship as they had created a bar with wine and beers next to the first tee! Once everyone was ready to go, they then killed the floodlights around the range, and the whole place was plunged into near total darkness. It was just possible to make ones way between shots thanks to the light coming from the driving

range bays but in the dark the flagsticks with their colourful lights really stood out. We were given dull, plain looking balls with no markings, but once they were hit, they lit up in spectacular shades of red, blue and green which made them look impressive as they soared across the golf area towards the various targets.

One ball looked particularly impressive as is sailed onto the green, and accompanied by lots of encouraging yells, ooohs and aahs, dropped into the hole for a hole-in-one!

After the 2 laps were completed, we retired to the bar for another drink, chat, and prize-giving. Again HKGTA were very generous providing attractive prizes for the best player and the best team, as well as the “keenest” player and team (ie the most incompetent!). In addition Rosemary Hsu who had scored the hole-in-one, was also given a lovey prize which they had clearly rapidly assembled! It just remained to thank everyone at HKGTA for their efforts putting on this inaugural night golf session, and for their generosity in laying it all on for free, before jumping back on the bus for our return to the Club.

Winning team: Jonny Brock, Gayble Tsang, Rosemay Hsu and Kenneth Hsu

Our second January outing was to Kau Sai Chau North allowing some exercise before the excesses of Chinese New Year. As KSC North is a hilly walking course that meant plenty exercise,

although with the temperature down around 12 degrees a few hills were probably appreciated to get the blood moving. With JP Cuvelier needed move his office and a team match two days later several regular players

were absent so the field was down to seven players enjoying the gentle sunshine which broke out around noon.

The first to tee off were Harshit Anand, Jukka Hakli and Jonathan Li. Two holes worth mentioning were holes 3 and 15. Jonathan made a nice birdie on the 3rd, a very challenging 160 yard par three with a forced carry of 150 yards to the front fringe. Jonathan hit his 5 iron to the left of the green and taking advantage of the slope, rolled down to 5 feet and makes the putt for birdie. On 15, after hitting his approach just over the green, Jonathan selected his sand wedge and hit it right in the hole for another birdie, going on to win second place with 29 stableford points. Jukka Hakli in the same group scored 32 points to claim the victory. Shame he didn’t bring that form to the FCC match two days later on the same course!

The second group to tee off were John Dainton, Dori Dainton, Helen Hayward and David Lindsay. Helen won the 2nd shot nearest to the pin on hole 15 and I would say this is one of the most dramatic pars. Helen had a great approach shot within 10 feet of the hole however then mishit the putt. The ball caught the downslope and rolled off the green. Magical moments happened…. she chipped it in to save par! 3 bad shots and 1 good shot, you can still make a par.

Then we all went back to the Club for refreshment and everyone agreed it had been a most enjoyable outing.

The Golf Society’s first match of the 2019 season was against the FCC, a very convivial bunch of opponents. Historically we have done well in this fixture with one tie and 4 subsequent wins.

To try to even things up Terry Wright our Captain decided to boost handicaps to 90% of standard ones which is very generous to the higher handicapping team in the four ball better ball format we play. He then promptly headed off to New Zealand and left me in charge with the unenviable task of trying to maintain our unbeaten record of five years.

On arrival at Kau Sai Chau, we found the course bathed in perfect sunshine and the faintest of breezes drifting across the course. No sign of the recent typhoon, except for the pleasure boat which is still semi-embedded in the parking facility at Sai Kung pier!

After the usual good value breakfast and a quick warm up with a bucket of balls, we proceeded to the first tee to do battle. We were led off by Don Roberts (the HK Club Golf Convenor) and Anatole Le who had flown in from Singapore for the fixture. Next up were myself and Jukka Hakli who is normally a very strong match competitor so I assumed that I would just stroll around, buy a few beers and let him take care of the golf. Unfortunately he was having one of his less sharp days, and once that became obvious (and we fell 1 down after 7 holes) I decided I had better roll the old sleeves up and contribute. An Eagle 3 on the long par 5 8th followed by a near hole-in-one on the treacherous par 3 13th (for a tap in birdie) represented my contribution, at which point I went back to my beers and let Jukka get on with it. Luckily he had just enough in the tank to get us over the line 1 up after our opponents missed a 20 inch putt on the last. A bit close for comfort!

Match vs FCC Golf Society Friday 25th Jan 2019

Kau Sai Chau North at its magnificent best – 1st hole on the left and the

ludicrously long 9th on the right

It turned out that we won the first 4 matches, so as there were only 7 matches it was not too nail-biting. The final score was 5-2 in favour of the Club, however no fewer than 5 of the 7 matches went to the final hole and 2 were tied so the score was distinctly flattering.

The match was followed by a pleasant lunch at the Kau Sai Chau restaurant washed down with a few ales, and numerous tales of what could have been.

Thanks to Terry Wright for arranging all the handicaps and lining up our team, to Russ Julseth who captained the FCC team, to all the players for taking the time to compete in the fixture, and to Kau Sai Chau for a North course which was in very good condition and to their ever helpful staff.

We look forward to the 2020 edition of this fixture where Terry is threatening to play off 100% handicaps which may prove a bridge too far.
