Training update

Dear Tigers,

Training as usual this weekend, although with Easter, it should be a slightly smaller crowd than usual but if you are still in Hong Kong take the kids down and start getting them ready for a tough season next year.

7s Last Week A very successful sevens for all the kids last weekend saw our little tigers demonstrating high standards of rugby and even higher standards of sportsmanship.  A special thanks to all of our coaches who made the time and effort to get to the stadium for the kids and the many members who volunteered their time to referee games.

For those that stayed on to watch the adult games on Sunday a very rewarding result with Hong Kong winning the shield thanks in parts to strong performances from DeA's own Rowan Varty (who has been a regular coach for our kids this season) and Keith Robertson.  Also in the squad from DeA were Tsang Hing Hung, Fan Shun Kei, Ben Ho and DeA old boy Tom McQueen.  I'm sure they were all over the moon to hear the strong support coming from the DeA section of the stadium in bays 131 and 132 and especially the chants of 'DeA' every time one of our boys crossed the line.

Coaching and refereeing courses As we prepare for the next season, we are always looking for more coaches and referees.  To that end I am trying to get a number of coaching and refereeing courses organised before the start of the next season.  If you would like to be involved please let me know.

Club committee No Experience required!  We desperately need people to help running the club and will accept all offers.  The commitment is not huge with usually no more than one meeting a month.  If you can spare some time to help the club operating smoothly we'd love to hear from you over the next couple of weeks. 

Occasional odd job help We especially need people to help with registration and kit distribution for the beginning of the season so if you're happy to help even on ad-hoc basis we really need to hear from you.

Have a great weekend and a happy easter.

Brenton
