HKRU ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT – 主席報告 2016/17
CHAIRMAN Introduction
It is a great pleasure to present my third report on behalf of the Board of Directors and all sections of the rugby community in a year that saw the historic qualification of our Women’s 15s team for the Rugby World Cup 2017 in Ireland, as well as enjoying continued growth and development of our domestic game and further playing success internationally. Strategic Plan
You will notice that the format of this year’s Annual Report has been adjusted to bring it into line with the HKRU 20162019 Strategic Plan (SP) – rather than the previous individual Director’s portfolio reports we have reports from the various Sub-Committees who have responsibility for delivering our 38 SP objectives. I am delighted to say that not only have we made considerable progress towards achieving these, but also that we have fully integrated the SP into the daily operations of the Union, an impressive feat. Domestic Season Senior & Tertiary Rugby
A record eighty-seven teams participated in the senior domestic leagues, with eight men’s and three women’s divisions providing another highly competitive season. The
Grand Championship Finals day was a fitting climax, with a packed King’s Park enjoying some thrilling encounters; it would be remiss not to single out the success of Societe Generale Valley RFC, whose men’s and women’s Premiership teams again both completed the League and Grand Championship doubles, but equally congratulations are in order not only to those who took home silverware but to all teams for their energy and enthusiasm throughout the year. Our Tertiary rugby family has now grown to 24 institutions, and they have all enjoyed another busy and successful season, which recently culminated in the Standard Chartered XVs League Varsity Cup Final where Baptist University men and Chinese University women took the honours. Other highlights included the University Sports Federation 7s, which this year saw Chinese University take the men’s and women’s Cups, while the Standard Chartered 7s attracted an impressive number of overseas guest teams from Singapore, China and the men’s cup winners from Chinese Taipei. Youth Rugby
It almost goes without saying that the Mini Rugby Union, the bedrock of our community, broke yet more records this year, with the number of registered players getting ever closer to the 6,000 mark.
主席 引言
很榮幸第三次代表所有董事局成員和各個欖球界別撰寫這 份週年報告，這年度我們見證了女子15人欖球隊歷史性的 獲得了2017年在愛爾蘭舉辦的欖球世界盃的參選資格。同 時，對於本地欖球的持續發展及代表隊獲取國際性成就， 我感到非常欣喜。 策略性計劃
你或許已察覺到，本年度的年度報告形式有變，有別以往 由董事局成員撰寫的報告，今年內容納入香港欖球總會 2016至2019策略計劃，由負責推行38項策略性計劃目標的 小組委員會撰寫報告。我很高興我們在實行上述目標時進 展順利。與此同時，我們也將策略計劃融入香港欖球總會 的日常運作上，成績有目共睹。 本地賽季
成人及大專欖球
成人本地聯賽破紀錄地共有87支球隊參與，由八個男子組 別及三個女子組別組成，帶來另一個戰況激烈的球季。季 後冠軍賽總決賽(Grand Championship Finals)是球季的高 潮，京士柏運動場坐滿觀戰球迷，欣賞驚心動魄的比賽場 面。不得不提法興華利欖球會之驕人成績，其男女子隊伍
各贏得超級聯賽及季後冠軍賽總決賽雙冠軍。恭喜所有賽 事的得獎隊伍，以及所有球隊於過去一年為欖球運動付出 的努力及熱忱。 我們的大專欖球大家庭也日漸壯大，成員已增至24隊， 他們享受既忙碌而又有成功感的賽季，並於最近的「渣打 大專十五人欖球聯賽」達至高峰－今年由浸會大學舉起男 子組銀盃，而香港中文大學則奪得女子組冠軍。另外，香 港中文大學亦於「大專盃七人欖球賽」囊括男、女子組別 冠軍。而「渣打大專七人欖球邀請賽」則吸引了不少海外 隊伍參與作客，如新加坡，中國以及男子組冠軍－中華台 北。 青少年欖球
小型欖球總會是我們欖球社區的基石，今年小型欖球員數 目打破更多紀錄，註冊球員數目首次接近六千人。今年是 「英國保誠元旦日青少年欖球錦標賽」50週年紀念，紀錄 欖球社區的顯赫里程碑；於當日，場上亦上演更多、更強 的青少年及女子欖球賽事。 我們繼續強化與香港學界體育聯會的聯繫，今年賽季共有 148支本地學校球隊參加「全港中學校際七人欖球比賽」

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT – 主席報告 2016/17
Also, further strong development in Colts and Girls Rugby was on display at the annual Prudential New Year’s Day Youth Tournament which this year celebrated its 50th anniversary – a remarkable milestone for our community. Our relationship with the Hong Kong School Sports Federation continues to strengthen, with this year 148 local school teams participated in the HKSSF Sevens Tournament, and it was wonderful to see Diocesan Boys’ School lift the A Grade Cup – the result of years of hard work restarting a rugby programme that had last been active in the late 1950s! There was further encouraging news with the announcement in February of a new “Try Rugby” initiative that sees us partnering with the Education University of Hong Kong and HSBC, and which will result in every local PE teacher going forward completing a basic touch rugby coaching course and be equipped with a manual and a resource pack enabling them to teach the game to their pupils. HKRU Community Foundation
The stated areas of focus for Foundation’s programmes are Education, Social Inclusion, Disability, Juvenile Crime and Health, and significant progress has been made in developing and implementing initiatives in all these sectors. Efforts are being made wherever possible to tie these initiatives into the broader player “playing pathway” and to engage with our corporate sponsors and partners in supporting the work of the Foundation.
The HKRUCF also continues to strengthen its relationship with the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, and through them other sport-for-change organisations around the world. As part of a very successful “Tackling Barriers Through Sport” campaign prior to this year’s Sevens, we had workshops and practical demonstrations with representatives from Peace Players International from Ireland , the Saracens rugby club Foundation, Operation Breakthrough as well as former GB wheelchair rugby captain Andy Barrow. Laureus supported by Academy Members Sean Fitzpatrick, Sir Steve Redgrave and LI Xiaopeng as well as Ambassador Jean de Villiers. At the Cathay Pacific HSBC Sevens, the Chief Secretary of the HKSAR joined a press briefing to announce that Laureus would be opening an office in Hong Kong in the coming year, and in May we announced that Laureus as the official charity of the 2018 Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens.
(HKSSF Sevens Tournament)，令人鼓舞的是拔萃男書院 奪得A組男子冠軍－他們重啟活躍於1950年末的欖球培訓 計劃，多年後的今年，終於得嘗成果。
福利主任耿來斯(Stuart Gunn) 負責，由欖球社區部門同事 協助，以及六名由Ageas贊助的前「奮進計劃」成員以學 徒制形式工作。
在2月份時，我們公佈了另一項喜訊－我們與香港教育大學 及匯豐銀行舉辦「Try Rugby」項目。計劃讓每一位本地體 育教師能完成一個非撞式欖球教練的基本課程，課程同時 派發教學指引及一份完備資料包，令他們可以順利向學生 介紹欖球欖球。
香港欖球總會社區基金繼續強化與勞倫斯體育公益基金 會(Laureus Sports for Good Foundation)的合作關係， 並透過他們與其他世界各地的sport-for-change機構合 作。今年，於香港國際七人欖球賽舉行之前，我們成功 舉辦一系列欖球活動，包括來自愛爾蘭的Peace Players International、Saracens欖球會基金會、奮進計劃 的代表，及前英國輪椅欖球隊長Andy Barrow，帶領多場 欖 球 工 作 坊 及 示 範 表 演 。 上 述 活 動 亦 得 學 院 成 員 Sean Fitzpatrick、Sir Steve Redgrave、李小鵬及大使Jean de Villiers到場支持。
香港欖球總會社區基金
基金主要的發展目標包括教育、社會共融、傷健、青少年 罪行及醫療，所有相關項目已開始實行並已錄得良好進 展。我們努力把各項目與球員的發展路向連結，希望我們 的企業贊助商及合作夥伴繼續支持基金會的工作。 基金會正為未來數個精彩的新項目努力，其中包括與中 文大學社會工作學系、英國文化協會、VIVA及Active Communities Network合作的項目；我們亦繼續與幾所 非政府組織成為合作夥伴，包括保良局、香港青年協 會、香港保護兒童會、香港聾人協進會及ChickenSoup Foundation。大部分基金會的工作由香港欖球總會及兒童

The Foundation works together with the likes of Chinese University Department of Social Work, the British Council, VIVA and Active Communities Network to develop our programmes, and then partners with a core group of NGOs to deliver them including the Po Leung Kuk, HKFYG, Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children, Hong Kong Association for the Deaf and ChickenSoup Foundation. The majority of the Foundation’s work is delivered by Stuart Gunn, the Union’s Rugby & Child Welfare Officer, assisted by the Community Department staff and 6 young men who have come through the Operation Breakthrough programme and are now on an apprenticeship with the Union, sponsored by Ageas.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT – 主席報告 2016/17
District Sports Associations
One of the Strategic Plan objectives is to get rugby 7s included in the bi-annual Hong Kong Games, and this year we took a very significant step towards achieving that when rugby was included as a demonstration sport. All 18 Hong Kong Districts fielded men’s and women’s teams, and the record books will show that the Sai Kung men and Yuen Long women were the first silverware winners in what we hope will become an established part of this important local event. Representative Rugby
On the international front it is not often a HKRU Chairman has the opportunity to proudly wish the best of luck to two of our national teams heading to a Rugby World Cup event, and I am delighted to have both our men’s Under 20s, who by retaining their Asian Junior Championship booked a place again at the World Rugby Under 20 Trophy in Uruguay, and our incredible national women’s 15s team heading to Ireland in August for their World Cup debut. Meanwhile our men’s 15s team have firmly established themselves as 2nd in Asia behind Japan, opening up a gap on Korea in the recent Asian Rugby championships and performing strongly in the Regal Cup of Nations – we now look forward to next year’s ARC and World Cup qualification events , and have high hopes our men can replicate our women’s success. Both our men’s and women’s 7s teams had a tough time in the World Rugby Series Qualifier Tournaments that were played in April alongside the 42nd Cathay Pacific HSBC 7’s
已踏出重要的一步，就是在全港運動會中將欖球作為示範 運動。來自全港十八區的男、女子隊伍參加比賽，最後， 西貢男子隊及元朗女子隊獲得冠軍，期望欖球運動於不久 將來可以被列為全港運動會的正式賽事。 欖球代表隊
作為香港欖球總會的主席，我很榮幸有機會祝福我們兩支 香港代表隊進軍欖球世界盃賽事。我很高興U20男子隊贏 取亞洲青少年錦標賽之後，躋身在烏拉圭舉行的世界青年 欖球盃(World Rugby U20 Trophy)賽事。另外，女子15 人欖球代表隊將會於8月份首次在愛爾蘭舉辦的欖球世界 盃粉墨登場。我們的男子15人欖球代表隊，獲得亞洲區 第二名，僅次日本。球隊在亞州欖球錦標賽(Asia Rugby championship)中以大比數穩勝韓國，他們在「富豪酒店超 級國家盃」(Cup of Nations)賽事中表現強勁，亦讓我們留 下深刻印象。我們期待明年的亞洲欖球錦標賽及欖球世界 盃外圍賽，男子隊能步女子隊後塵，表現同樣出色。 我們的男子及女子七人欖球隊，雙雙在世界欖球系列賽外 圍賽中受到考驗。他們在4月份參與「第42屆國泰航空/滙 豐香港國際七人欖球賽」，見證各國的七人欖球水平節節 上升。值得一提，我們的男子隊在「亞洲七人欖球系列
tournament, it is a mark of how the standard of Sevens rugby continues to rise around the world. However, our men were crowned Asia Rugby Sevens Series Champions once again, and they deservedly received recognition as the Best Team at the Hong Kong Sports Awards. Also winning the an award for Coach of the Year was Gareth Baber, who headed to Fiji in January to take on a coaching role with the Olympic champions – I would like to express our thanks once again for the great work he did with our Sevens teams, and wish him the very best of luck with Fiji - thankfully we have not yet exhausted the talent of the Welsh Valleys, and were able to secure the services of a very able replacement in World Cup winning coaching Paul John. He has many reasons to be optimistic looking forward, with our U18 Girls crowned Asian Champions last December in Dubai, and our U20 Boys retaining their own Asia Sevens title. International Caps & Hall Of Fame
The HKRU continues to pay tribute and present international “Colony” and “SAR” caps retrospectively to the men and women who have represented Hong Kong down the years, and we inducted our fourth batch of Hall of Famers at the HKRU Awards Dinner –Dan Daley, Gus Cunningham, Brian Wigley, Hoty Chan, Nigel D’Acre, Keith Robertson and Gabby Li. We have also welcomed three new Honorary Members, Grant Jamieson, Paul Dingley and KK Chiu, in recognition of their outstanding contributions to Hong Kong rugby.
賽」中再次奪冠，球隊亦在香港傑出運動員選舉獲的「香 港最佳運動隊伍」獎項。 Gareth Baber獲頒「年度最佳教練」，他在一月份抵達 斐濟出任教練—職，帶領這支奧運冠軍球隊繼續出戰各項 賽事。在此，我要再次感謝他帶領香港七人欖球代表隊成 長，實在勞苦功高，希望他在斐濟前程似錦。而我們亦要 慶幸Welsh Valleys繼續留任，以及成功物色曾於多次世界 盃賽事獲勝的的教練Paul John加入我們的團隊。我們對他 寄望甚殷，而我們的U18女子隊於去年12月杜拜舉行的亞 洲錦標賽奪冠、U20男子隊則保留「亞洲七人欖球賽」冠 軍之美譽，球隊發展讓人樂觀。 球員喼帽及名人堂
今年，向歷年曾代表香港出賽的球員獲頒國際「殖民地」 喼帽及「特別行政區」喼帽的傳統於今年仍然延續。在香 港欖球總會年度晚宴上，第四批正式進入「名人堂」(Hall of Fame)人士包括Dan Daley、Gus Cunningham、Brian Wigley、Hoty Chan、Nigel D’Acre、Keith Robertson 及 Gabby Li。我們同時歡迎Grant Jamieson、Paul Dingley 及KK Chiu三位新榮譽會員，他們為香港欖球隊運動作出的 出色貢獻獲得肯定。

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT – 主席報告 2016/17
Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens
With the Chairman, Vice Chairman and CEO of World Rugby in attendance, Hong Kong once again delivered a truly wonderful event, and it seemed that the entertainment both on and off the pitch was better than ever -my sincere thanks to all those who contributed to another memorable week-long fiesta of rugby. The Women’s tournament, which this year celebrated its 20th edition, was appointed by WR as the Women’s Sevens Series Qualifier Tournament, and the new format and a return to action at the So Kon Po Sports Ground venue seemed well received by players and spectators alike.
Officials
Our referees have continued to make their mark on the international stage, and over the past 12 months we saw Gabriel Lee in action at the Rio Olympics, Matt Rodden on the World Sevens Series, and Tim Baker officiating at the Women’s 6 Nations after which he has been appointed to the Women’s Rugby World Cup, so congratulations to the three of them and to all those who have been selected for international representative duty this past season.
Off the field, we continued to expand last year’s initiative of a HKSevens Central activation area in Chater Gardens and added in a Hysan Fan Walk, which together with a sold-out Kick-off Concert featuring Madness meant that for the first time ever there were more fans and members of the community engaged with the event outside the Stadium than in it! Add to the mix the usual smorgasbord events featuring the Beach 5s, the Kowloon RugbyFest, the GFI HKFC 10s, and the Standard Chartered International Youth Tournament along with the ever growing number of lunches and dinners which also raise a lot of money for some very deserving charitable causes.

在世界欖球理事會的主席、副主席及行政總裁的見證下， 國泰航空/滙豐香港國際七人欖球賽再一次成為全城佳話。 今年，無論場外場內的娛樂活動均比往年更為優勝，我 衷心感激所有協助打造另一個難忘的瘋狂欖球週的工作人 員。今年「香港女子七人欖球賽」踏入20週年，為隆重其 事，世界欖球理事會將賽事定為「世界女子七人欖球系列 賽–外圍賽」，全新比賽模式重返掃桿埔運動場，深受球 員及觀眾的支持。 球場以外的活動，我們繼往開來，繼續擴展在遮打花園舉 行的「七欖中環」活動的規模，並加入全新元素－Hysan Fan Walk。另外，今年「香港國際七人欖球賽前奏音樂 會」邀得Madness作為表演嘉賓，音樂會廣受熱烈歡迎。 本年度，參與球場外活動的球迷數目首次超越大球場內觀 眾。此外，更多多樣化的活動，包括「Beach 5s」、「九 龍欖球嘉年華」、「GFI香港足球會10人欖球賽」及「渣打 國際青年欖球賽」(Standard Chartered International Youth Tournament)為活動增添不少色彩；而當中舉辦的午宴及晚 宴次數增加，為有需要的慈善團體籌得大量善款。 在賽事紀錄方面，大受歡迎的斐濟隊擊敗南非奪得「霍士 傑盃」(Forsgate Quaich)；而西班牙隊奪得「男子外圍

我們的裁判再次在國際舞台上展現光華，在過去的12個 月，李頴儀(Gabriel Lee)獲委任為里約熱內盧奧運會的裁 判，Matt Rodden獲委任為世界七人欖球系列賽的裁判，而 Tim Baker繼被委任為世界盃女子欖球賽裁判後，再在女子 六人聯賽「RBS女子欖球六國賽」擔任裁判工作。恭賀他 們三人以及在過去一年被選中在國際舞台上擔任評判的成 員。 我們的執法人員，在過去的一年忙於為本地及國際賽 事工作。我們非常感謝裁判協會的所有成員，他們在過去 一年努力不懈地支持規模日益增長的本地及國際比賽。 財政
本年度財政年於2017年4月結束，按著策略計劃的倡議， 香港欖球總會持續增加對欖球活動的投資。在這些投資項 目及難以預料的外幣匯率衝擊下，我們的營運收益受到影 響。但我很高興報告在艱難的經濟環境下，我們仍有少許 盈餘。有關內容已在財務董事唐諾生(Paddy Donovan)的 報告中詳細列出。

domestic and overseas appointments, and I’d like to record our gratitude to all members of the Referees’ Society for their tireless efforts in support of the ever increasing number of games throughout the year on the domestic and overseas front. Finances
During the year ended April 2017, we continued to make significant investments in the game in line with our Strategic Plan initiatives, and these investments together with unexpected foreign currency impacts on our revenues have been challenging for our operating profitability but I am happy to report a small surplus was achieved; the details of which are comprehensively covered in the report of our Director of Finance, Paddy Donovan. Thanks
This has been another incredibly busy and challenging year, and I would like to record my thanks to the complete cross section of the rugby community who have offered their support and advice so generously. In particular, I would like to thank: Our President, Peter Duncan and the HKRU Vice Presidents My fellow Directors and Union Staff
All Club Chairmen, Officials, Coaches and Managers All the sponsors and patrons of the HKRU
and the various members of panels.
The many other Committees, groups and working parties, that all work for the betterment of Hong Kong rugby and The supporter and fans of Hong Kong rugby.
Along with Gareth Baber, we have also said farewell to another couple of key Union personnel over the course of the past year – Peter Drewett, our Head of Elite Coach development, bucked the trend and actually moved to the Welsh Rugby Union, where I’m sure he will prove a great addition, and we of course wish him well. And on the 1st May, Vern Reid, our CEO of the past 3 and ½ years, headed home to Perth after a very successful tenure at the helm of the Union. Vern has had a huge impact on the culture of the organization, and has been a popular and much respected figure in the community – he will be much missed by the Union staff and the wider community, and we thank him for all his contribution and wish him and Liz all the best for a long, happy and healthy retirement. Stepping in to his shoes is our new CEO Robbie McRobbie, and we of course wish him and his management team every success in their new roles. Pieter Schats Chairman
All officials, including Referees, Assistant Referees, Assessors

FINANCE DIRECTOR’s REPORT – 財務董事報告
FINANCE I am pleased to present the HKRU finance report for the 2016/17 financial year, delivering a net asset gain and operating surplus in an increasingly uncertain economic climate. 2016/2017 Financial Performance
The increase in NET ASSETS for the year ended 30 April 2017 was HK$14.7m (2016: Decrease HK$3.4m). This was predominantly the result of gains made in the investment portfolio and a small operating surplus. The NET PROFIT for the year ended 30 April 2017 was HK$0.3m (2016: HK$17.4m). The HKRU continued to invest heavily in domestic and international performance rugby with increased costs despite some material factors affecting the HKRU’s revenue. Income Statement
Revenue was $231.0m (2016: $230.1m), which is an increase of 0.4% compared to the prior year. The HKRU has recently completed its second year of the current host union agreement with World Rugby with two years remaining. This agreement provides certainty over some of the income of the HKRU; however the HKRU
remains heavily reliant on other avenues to fund its operations throughout the year. The HKRU’s revenues were materially affected by currency devaluations and late cancellations of revenue contracts leading up to the HK7s. The prior year also contained income from the Asia Rugby Sevens Qualifier held at Hong Kong stadium and the Natixis cup, neither of which took place in the current financial year. The HKRU is acutely aware of the need to generate additional revenues beyond the HK7s and has sought to expand its footprint outside the stadium even further in 2017 with an enhanced offering at Chater Gardens and the introduction of Fanwalk. Activation outside of the stadium is a key growth driver for the HKRU. The commercialisation of the 15s program is of renewed focus. There was increased sponsorship this season and increased media coverage particularly live to air through RugbyPass. HKRU operating expenditure was $230.7m (2016: $212.7m) which is a 8.5% increase compared to the prior year. The increase in expenditure was partly driven by staffing costs but primarily the central contracting of full time XV’s players as part of the Elite Rugby Program (“ERP”). Additional extra costs were incurred in 2016/17 by contracting players from the Chief’s development squad and hosting an expanded

影響本年收益。而去年於香港大球場舉行的亞洲欖球七人 外圍賽和Natixis 欖球盃帶來的收入，今年亦從缺。
2016/2017 財務業績
除香港國際七人欖球賽外，香港欖球總會意識到急需籌 劃開源之方法。自2017年，香港欖球總會更積極拓展大 球場以外的活動，以為總會提供額外收入，例如在遮打 花園舉行的豐富活動，以及香港國際七人欖球賽球迷嘉 年華(Fanwalk)。今年，我們重新以15人欖球賽事商業化 為發展焦點，在過去賽季，本會的贊助有所增加；而透過 RugbyPass直播球賽，媒體報導遂錄得增長，同時擴闊宣 傳範圍。
本年度截至2017年4月30日的凈資產增長為港幣 $14,700,000 (2016: 減少港幣$3,400,000) ，收入主要來自 投資組合和些微的營運盈餘。 本年度截至2017年4月30日的淨利潤為港幣$300,000 (2016：港幣$17,400,000)；縱然香港欖球總會的收入受到 某些實質因素影嚮，但我們仍會繼續加重力度，於本地及 國際欖球運動發展作出龐大投資。 收益表
實際收益為港幣$231,000,000 (2016:港幣$230,100,000)， 較去年增加0.4%。 香港欖球總會剛完成與世界欖球理事會第二年協議主辦的 活動，協議尚有兩年到期。這份協議確保了香港欖球總會 的某部份收入，然而香港欖球總會仍極需依賴其他渠道為 總會的營運工作提供資金。香港欖球總會受貨幣貶值，以 及一些未能於臨近香港國際七人欖球賽洽談成功的合約，

HKRU ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17
我們實際營運開支為港幣$230,000,000 (201 6年港幣 $212,700,000)，與去年比較增加8.5% 。 令實際開支增加的主要原因是「精英十五人欖球」計劃 (Elite Rugby Program)為全職15人欖球員的集體合約的支 出，另員工薪酬亦為部分因素。而2016/2017季度額外支出 亦包括與族長發展隊的球員簽約之費用，以及主辦女子七 人欖球系列外圍賽時，為符合世界欖球理事會規則額外提 供之酒店予所有隊伍的住宿開支。另外，在本財政年度， 香港欖球總會受累於外匯貶值，總會的英鎊外匯儲備於不 明朗因素下蒙受巨大虧損。
FINANCE DIRECTOR’s REPORT – 財務董事報告
Women’s 7’s Series Qualifier run to World Rugby regulations (requiring additional hotel nights for all teams). The HKRU was subject to a material unrealised exchange loss on its holdings of Sterling at year end as a result of the devaluation of the currency during the HKRU’s financial year. There were cost increases from Sevens week events and particularly the Kick-Off Concert. However, these events generated additional revenue for the HKRU. We will look to continue these events as we raise the profile of the Sevens Week. It also helps achieve our goal of diversifying revenue sources. With careful management of these Sevens week events going forward, we look forward to the opportunities this may bring to the HKRU. The raise in the ERP costs are not expected to increase as significantly in future years now that the squad is close to capacity and the limit for ERP player numbers is capped at 32. The ERP player and coach costs are the primary reason for increased costs in recent years. The full financial statements are set out on pages 131 to 162. Investments
The market value of the HKRU’s investments increased to $179.9m (2016: $163.7m). This represents a gain of HK$16.1m or 9.9% (2016: Loss 10.2%) of which, HK$14.4m was a valuation gain. The breakdown of the investment portfolio
而「瘋狂欖球周」活動，特別是前奏音樂會亦令成本增 加。不過，這些項目為香港欖球總會帶來額外收入，故我 們將繼續舉辦及擴展活動規模，讓七人欖球賽在香港更受 關注。「瘋狂欖球周」活動亦讓香港欖球總會收入來源達 至多元化，我們相信，只要用心管理，我們期望「瘋狂欖 球周」能為總會帶來更多機遇。 在未來的歲月，我們預料「精英十五人欖球」計劃的成本 不會顯著增加。精英欖球隊員數目如往年一樣是維持於32 人。聘請精英隊的球員和教練的支出是近年增加開支的主 要原因。 完整的財務報告刊於131頁至162頁。 投資
香港欖球總會的總投資市值增至港幣$179,900,000 (2016: 港幣$163,700,000)。賬面顯示錄得港幣$16,100,000或 9.9% (2016：虧損10.2%)的增長，即港幣$14,400,000為估 計盈餘。投資組合細項包括股票及債券港幣$173,800,000 (2016：港幣$128,300,000)，以及市場基金港幣 $6,100,000 (2016：港幣$35,400,000) 。
comprises of $173.8m in Equities and Bonds (2016: $128.3m) and $6.1m in Money Market funds (2016: $35.4m). Under the current accounting standards in Hong Kong, valuation changes in the investments are accounted for in the Investment Revaluation Reserve. The Investment Revaluation Reserve as at 30 April 2017 was $38.2m (2016: $23.8m). The performance of the fund managers is measured against benchmark performance criteria, set by the Investment Committee. The HKRU transferred 50% of its investments to passive funds from actively managed funds during the financial year. The management fees of passive investing are significantly lower and we will continue monitor the appropriate split. This Investment Committee continues to meet with the investment advisors on a quarterly basis under the guidance of Mr Stuart Leckie. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Stuart for his on-going support in safeguarding our investments. Outlook and Summary
Despite the challenges on the revenue side, the HKRU has continued to invest in the game at all levels for men and women. The HKRU is not expected to deliver significant operating profits going forward and is forecasting an operating loss in the 2017/18 financial year.
根據香港現行會計準則，投資項目的估值變更需列明在投 資重估儲備帳戶內；截至2017年4月30日，該帳戶結餘為 港幣$38,200,000 (2016: 港幣$23,800,000) 。 基金經理的表現是由投資委員會所定的基準表現準則來衡 量。香港欖球總會在該財政年度將百份之五十的投資基 金由進取類別轉換成保守類別。而保守類別的基金管理費 明顯地較低。我們將繼續監察及調整投資選項。在Stuart Leckie先生的領導下，投資委員會每季都與投資顧問開會 相議投資事項。本人藉此機會感謝Stuart先生對保障本會的 投資方面作出不斷貢獻。 展望及總結
儘管在收入方面面對困難重重，香港欖球總會仍不斷投資 在男、女子組別各級賽事。總會並未寄望未來的財政年度 有重大的營運收益，而是預測2017/2018財政年度營運會將 錄得虧損。 截至2017年4月30日，香港欖球總會有162名僱員(其中包 括63名參賽球員及99名非球員僱員)重整。非參賽僱員的數 目跟去年並無顯着分別，而最近的管理架構首先著重保持 僱員數目的穩定性。現時，僱員薪酬是總會主要的彈性支 出。

FINANCE DIRECTOR’s REPORT – 財務董事報告
As at 30 April 2017 the HKRU had 162 employees (consisting of 63 playing staff and 99 non playing staff). The non playing staff numbers have not changed significantly from the prior year and the recent management restructure has aimed to keep staffing levels stable. Employee costs are the primary discretionary expenditure of the HKRU.
The HKRU provides direct contributions of HK$8.3m to Senior Rugby and HK$2.4m to youth/schools/tertiary rugby. Further indirect costs supporting the local game include insurance, ground hire, employment of Club Coaching Officers, and staff costs relating to club rugby totaling approximately HK$21.2m. This excludes the revenue forgone by the HKRU from providing a box at the Sevens to Clubs. Most Clubs use the box to generate sponsorship to further support the domestic rugby programme.
The HKRU non playing staff can be broken down as follows; 25 Performance department, 25 Clubs, Community Districts and Touch, 14 Events Marketing and Commercial, 12 Facilities/ Groundstaff, 4 Medical, 6 CEO and Office Admin, 6 Finance staff and 7 Club Coaching Officers. Department

HKRU ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17
FINANCE DIRECTOR’s REPORT – 財務董事報告
The HKRU has placed particular emphasis on the XV’s game. The establishment of the ERP represents the biggest single change going forward for the HKRU and this has significantly increased our investment in the XV’s version of the game. The ERP players are all playing domestic club rugby in the HK Premiership league. The 2017/18 year will very likely see the programme relocate from its current base at THEi as it is not possible to remain on the present site; and will incur annual costs approaching HK$20m. One of the major constraints in growing the game is available field space. HKRU continues to utilise its funds for playing facilities where available. The HKRU spends approximately HK$5.8m on renting pitch space for training and playing (in addition to the costs of maintaining its own facilities at Kings Park and Tin Shui Wai). The HKRU provides over 10,000 hours of ground time at no charge to its members. The HKRU has secured new pitch access at the new facility at Tseung Kwan O. We are currently identifying further sites under the guidance of Chris Brooke as set out in the facilities sub-committee report. Having the funds set aside for new pitches and the recurring costs they bring is key to meeting the HKRU’s objectives and ties in with the investment committee’s focus.
香港欖球總會特別關注十五人賽事，成立精英欖球項目為 本會有史以來最大的單一項目改革；為此推進此項目發 展，我們在十五人賽事增放巨額投資。精英十五人欖球的 球員均代表本地各球會參與超級聯賽。在2017/2018年度， 我們可精英欖球計劃的主要基地THEi需要搬遷，並將帶來 接近港幣$20,000,000的年費開支。 發展欖球運動其中一個最大障礙是缺乏場地，香港欖球總 會利用資金不斷尋找可供使用的場地。現時，香港欖球總 會支出大約港幣$5,800,000租用場地，以供訓練及比賽之 用 ( 此支不包括京士柏及天水圍自置場地的保養費 ) 。香港 欖球總會提供超過一萬小時免費場地時間予各會員。 香港欖球總會在將軍澳新設施取得新場地使用權。在蒲敬 思(Chris Brooke)的指導下，我們正在物色更多適合的場 地。尋找新場地所需支出，以及使用新場地之常規支出， 都需要與香港欖球總會的目標吻合，同時符合投資委員會 所定的範疇。
Longer Term Risks
The HKRU will enter into negotiations with World Rugby to secure a further 4 years of a Sevens World Series tournament in HK from 2020-2023. The new arrangements may be on less advantageous terms. The materially largest risk to the HKRUs long term financial position is relocating the HK7s to the proposed Kai Tak sports hub. This will ultimately depend upon the commercial model for the Kai Tak sports stadium and particularly the mix of executive suites, corporate level boxes, and the percentage of revenue taken by the stadium operator. The HKRU is a key stakeholder in the new stadium and has been consulted by various parties. We look forward to future consultation with interested parties and finding solutions that are acceptable to the operator and allow the HKRU to maintain its investment in rugby in Hong Kong. In my second year as Finance Director of the HKRU I have been pleased to see non-rugby playing staff headcount stabilize and to be able to continue to support the heavy investments in development, playing and coaching resources notwithstanding the difficult financial environment in HK and tough corporate selling environment we faced in the third and
較長線的風險
香港欖球總會將與世界欖球總理事會就香港舉辦2020– 2023年世界系列七人欖球賽事宜進行協商；新合約有利條 件可能較少。 將香港國際七人欖球賽移至擬定的啟德體育園舉行，為香 港欖球總會務上長期財政最大的風險。這最終視乎啟德運 動場的運作商業模式－特別在調配廂房、企業包廂，以及 運動場營運者收取收入的百分比。香港欖球總會是新運動 場的主要利益相關者，而我們亦曾被不同單位諮詢意見。 我們冀望與有興趣的單位進行商議，同時尋找一個令運動 場營運者接受之解決方案，亦讓香港欖球總會得以持續投 資在香港的欖球運動上。 第二年擔任香港欖球總會財務董事，總會非出賽僱員的人 數穩定，我感到非常欣慰。在第三及第四季，雖然我們 面對香港財政緊拙及和難以獲得企業贊助的困境，但我們 仍然能夠繼續推廣欖球發展，我們於球賽及教練方面均作

The continued investment is a key contributor to what is arguably HK rugby’s most successful year with a competitive domestic premiership, successful u20 campaign at Junior World Trophy, Women’s 15 qualification at the 2017 RWC and the men’s XV cementing its place as Asia’s second strongest team and making strides to close the gap with Japan.

HKRU Community Foundation Sub-committee Robbie McRobbie (Chair), Pieter Schats, Case Everaert, David Greaves, Brandon Huang, KK Chiu, Stuart Gunn, Tony Hui, Ruth Mitchell, Anson Bailey, Andrew Sum Strategic Objectives:
Take a lead role in Hong Kong sport development, by creating and implementing effective intervention programmes and Corportate Social Responsibility initiatives for community development and to increase participation. Progress – Amber Increase number of Schools of Rugby from one in 2015 to five in 2019. Progress - Green The stated areas of focus for HKRUCF programmes are Education, Social Inclusion, Disability, Juvenile Crime, and Health, and significant progress has been made in developing and implementing initiatives in all sectors. Efforts are being made wherever possible to tie these initiatives into the broader player pathway, and to engage with our corporate sponsors and partners in supporting the work of the HKRUCF.
I. Education
Rugby & English
We are running 3 programmes in schools using rugby as a medium to build confidence in communication in English. We partner with the British Council, who assist with the design of the resource materials, staff training, and evaluation. “Rugby English Active Learning” – this is funded by the Education Bureau, has 35 local primary schools enrolled on an annual basis with a waiting list. EB has just confirmed continued funding for a further 2 years. “Active Schools” – this is an initiative co-ordinated by the Hong Kong Elite Athletes’ Association, we use similar materials to REAL, and this year will reach 45 local primary and secondary schools. “Tackling English” – this programme is sponsored by Deutsche Bank, it is focused on local secondary schools, and we have 20 schools enrolled this year.

I. 教育
欖球與英語
我們現時在校內推行三個計劃，以欖球作為媒介令學生對 英語建立信心。我們和英國文化協會合作；他們協助我們 設計材料、教師培訓和做評測工作。 由教育局資助的計劃「Rugby English Active Learning」 （REAL），每年有35間本地小學參與，一些小學則於等候 名單之列。教育局較早前確實未來兩年會繼續撥款支持該 計劃。
HKRU STRATEGIC PLAN REVIEW reportS – 香港欖球總會策略計劃報告
Rugby & Values
“Hong Kong’s Rugby Spirit” sponsored by UBS – this initiative focuses on the 7 priority values that the Education Bureau have identified for Hong Kong students: “Perseverance” (Determination), “Respect for Others”, “Responsibility”, “National Identity”, “Commitment”, “Integrity” (Honesty) and “Care for Others” (Teamwork). The material was developed in conjunction with the Father Cucchiara Memorial School Principal, and has been endorsed by both the Education Bureau and Chinese University’s Department of Education. There are currently 52 local primary schools enrolled. “Schools of Rugby” sponsored by Goldman Sachs – a concept borrowed from the Scottish Rugby Union which combines classroom lessons with PE sessions to emphasise a set of core values for secondary school students. There are currently 5 Schools of Rugby, 3 of whom have high numbers
of Non-Ethnic Chinese students and 1 of which is a residential school for students who have been excluded from mainstream education – Confucius Hall Secondary School, Fat Ho Buddhist Memorial School, HK Juvenile Care Centre, Sir Ellis Kadoorie Secondary School, Pui Tak Canossian College Apprentices
Thanks to the support of Ageas, we have been running an apprentice programme for the past 2 years which sees 6 youngsters who have come through the Operation Breakthrough project offered 12 month contracts with HKRU as Assistant District Development Officers. During that time they receive mentoring and support as well as the opportunity to attend training courses, to help equip them for a future career in the sports industry. II. Social Inclusion
We run a number of programmes with local NGOs that gives an opportunity for young boys and girls from less well-off backgrounds to participate in organized sports, and provide a pathway for them if they wish to continue in the future. “Chance to Play” with ChickenSoup, sponsored by Societe Generale – 100 free places on HKRU Beginners Summer Course, then free membership with a local mini club (Tuen Mun, Tsuen Wan, Tai Hang Tung) if they wish to continue afterwards.
「Active Schools」 - 這計劃是和香港精英運動員協會合 辦，使用的教學材料和REAL相約，今年會有45間小學及中 學參加。
學徒實習
「Tackling English」 - 獲德意志銀行贊助的計劃，今年有 20間本地中學參與。
感謝Ageas的支持，我們過去兩年開辦學徒計劃，當中有 六位年輕人來自「奮進行動」（Operation Breakthrough） 。透過計劃，他們與香港欖球總會簽訂一年合約，擔任地 區發展助理主任。在職期間，他們接受了指導和支援，並 有機會參加訓練課程，為未來在體育行業發展打好基礎。
欖球與價值
II. 社會共融
「Hong Kong’s Rugby Spirit」由UBS贊助 - 根據教育局 認可培育學生七個價值，即「堅毅」、「尊重他人」、「 責任感」、「國民身份認同」、「承擔精神」、「誠信」 和「關愛」（團隊精神）。與郭怡雅神父紀念學校的校長 共同設計教材，獲教育局及中文大學教育系認可。現時有 52間本地小學參加。 「Schools of Rugby」由Goldman Sachs贊助 - 借助香港蘇 格蘭人欖球會的概念，連結班房課堂與體育課，傳授核心 價值予中學生。現時共有五所欖球學校，其中三間有大量 非華裔學生，另有一間是寄宿學校，供非主流學生就讀。 五所欖球學校分別為：孔聖堂中學、佛教筏可紀念中學、 香港青少年培育會陳南昌紀念學校、官立嘉道理爵士中學 及嘉諾撒培德書院。
我們和本地非政府機構合辦一連串計劃，其目的是提供機 會給來自社會基層的男女青年，使他們有機會參加體育賽 事，裝備他們日後的運動員發展之路。 與ChickenSoup合辦、由Societe Generale贊助的計劃 「Chances to Play」提供了100個由香港欖球總會舉辦的 初級暑期課程免費名額，以及本地小型欖球會的免費會籍( 屯門、荃灣和大坑東)。

III. 傷健
「共融欖球」（Inclusive Rugby）－我們在賽馬會善樂學 校、明愛樂進學校及兩間保良局特殊學校為傷健人士及精 神疾病的學生舉辦課程。課程內容由香港中文大學社會工 作學系協助設計，並提供教師培訓和計劃評估工作。 「輪椅欖球」 - 作為香港殘疾人奧委會暨傷殘人士體育協 會之會員，協會支持香港欖球總會增設輪椅欖球隊。同事 耿來斯(Stuart Gunn)已修讀輪椅欖球教練課程，而本會亦 獲捐贈三張輪椅。在此感謝國際輪椅欖球總會給予鼎力支 持，讓本會能夠於香港國際七人欖球賽前，與一班本地殘 奧傷健人士進行示範比賽。 IV. 青少年罪行
由渣打銀行贊助及與警方合辦的「控球在手」，現時共有 26間來自葵青、沙田、荃灣和大埔區的中學參與。計劃讓 學生們接觸欖球，同時帶給他們遠離毒品和黑社會、減低 犯罪機會及活出健康生活等訊息。本計劃是獲新界南區警 方認可的活動。
HKRU STRATEGIC PLAN REVIEW reportS – 香港欖球總會策略計劃報告
chairs. We are in touch with the International Wheelchair Rugby Federation, who are also being extremely supportive, and we ran a demo with some local Paralympic athletes before the Sevens. IV. Youth Crime
“Don’t Drop the Ball” with the Police, sponsored by Standard Chartered – we currently have 26 local secondary schools participating in Kwai Tsing, Shatin, Tsuen Wan and Tai Po Districts. Along with introducing the students to rugby, they are encouraged to lead a healthy lifestyle and avoid drugs, triads and crime. This is an officially recognized Youth Initiative for the Police, New Territories South Region. “Cape Collinson Young Offenders’ Institution” with Correctional Services Department – we have received permission to commence our 3rd eight week course in Cape Collinson shortly. This has been well received by both inmates and CSD staff so far. V. Health
This is the least developed focus area so far – we do have a strong relationship with Kely Support Group, a local NGO who educate youngsters about alcohol and drug misuse and help them realize their potential, and we are in active discussions to see how we can co-operate on school programmes going forward.
Wider Strategy
The HKRUCF continues to strengthen its relationship with the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, and through them other sport-for-change organisations around the world. As part of a very successful “Tackling Barriers Through Sport” campaign prior to this year’s Sevens we had workshops and practical demonstrations with representatives from Peace Players International, the Saracens Foundation, Operation Breakthrough as well as former GB wheelchair rugby captain Andy Barrow. Laureus supported with Academy Members Sean Fitzpatrick, Sir Steve Redgrave and LI Xiaopeng as well as Ambassador Jean de Villiers. At the Sevens the Chief Secretary of the HKSAR joined our press briefing to announce that Laureus would be opening an office in Hong Kong in the coming year, and in May we announced that Laureus would be the official charity of the 2018 Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens. Finally, last year the HKRUCF hosted the first “Rugby Charity Ball” in support of the Po Leung Kuk at the HKCEC – this will be an annual event going forward, providing both an opportunity to raise funds for an excellent cause and equally giving a platform for us to tell the story of the Foundation’s work to a wider audience.
和香港懲教署合辦的「Cape Collinson Young Offender’ s Institution」受在囚人士及懲教署職員廣泛歡迎，我們喜見 計劃已獲批准，於短期內可在歌連臣角開辦第三屆八週訓 練課程。
在香港國際七人欖球賽新聞發佈會中，香港特別行政區的 首席秘書宣佈勞倫斯來年會於香港開設辦公室；而於過去 的5月，我們亦已公佈勞倫斯將會成為國泰航空/匯豐香港 國際七人欖球賽2018的官方慈善機構。
V. 健康
最後，為支持保良局，香港欖球總會社區基金去年首次在 香港會議展覽中心舉辦「Rugby Charity Ball」。我們將繼 續每年舉辦此活動，期望藉此良機籌募經費，同時使更廣 大群眾認識本會基金。
本會最新的發展項目 — 現時，我們和本地非政府機構「啟 勵扶青會」緊密合作。啟勵扶青會教育青少年有關濫用酒 精和毒品的禍害，同時幫助他們啟發潛能。本會正積極與 他們商討合作舉辦校內課程。 擴展戰略
香港欖球總會社區基金與勞倫斯體育公益基金會（Laureus Sport for Good Foundation）的聯繫持續增強，本會 亦透過勞倫斯體育公益基金會跟其他推廣運動改變人 生（sport-for-change）之機構維持友好關係。香港國 際七人欖球賽前夕，我們有機會參與「運動無障礙」 （Tackling Barriers Through Sport）活動，與Peace Players International、the Saracens Foundation、奮進行 動（Operation Breakthrough）代表和前英國輪椅欖球隊長 Andy Barrow合辦工作坊及示範欖球實戰技巧，學院會員包 括Sean Fitzpatrick、Sir Steve Redgrave、李小鵬和大使 Jean de Villiers均到場支持。

HKRU STRATEGIC PLAN REVIEW reportS – 香港欖球總會策略計劃報告
Facilities Sub-Committee Chris Brooke (Chair), Kim Lam, John Carroll, Robbie McRobbie, David Greaves, Brandon Huang, Daniel Fan, KK Chiu Strategic Objective:
Based upon the Facilities Strategy endorsed by the Board of Directors, aim to build capacity associated with existing pitch access as well as identify opportunities for the development of new playing facilities. Work with Government and other relevant parties in a collaborative manner to identify land and buildings suitable for both new playing facilities and the hosting of rugby related events. Seek to ensure the long term security of King’s Park via the formulation of a strong case for extension of the existing Short Term Tenancy under which the site is held. Progress - Amber Introduction
The facilities sub-committee for the 2016/17 year has seen both tangible progress in relation to a range of existing facilities-related initiatives, as well as the identification of a number of new opportunities to be pursued.
Facilities Strategic Plan
For the first time, with support from HKRU partner, Accenture, the HKRU has developed a strategic plan specific to the provision of pitches and facilities in Hong Kong. This has provided the Board with a quantifiable difference between supply and demand of suitable rugby pitches as of today and up to 2025. The plan has been well received by the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China and has been submitted to the Government as part of the Hong Kong 2030+ public engagement exercise. Many objectives within the plan are closely aligned with the long-term development strategy envisaged by the Government and it is therefore felt that the document represents a very effective tool via which to present a strong case for the greater provision of rugby facilities in Hong Kong. The main challenges faced by the HKRU remain the quota system operated by the Leisure & Cultural Services Department and other competing priorities for land use in Hong Kong and we do not anticipate any major change to this situation in the short to medium term.
設施小組委員會 蒲敬思(Chris Brooke) (小組主持)、林鄺蘭香、祈樂堯 (John Carroll)、麥偉彬(Robbie McRobbie)、格雷夫斯 (David Greaves)、黃耀斌、范偉華、趙國光 策略目標：
按董事局通過的設施策略計劃，目標是增加香港欖球場地 的使用權及發展球場設施。同時與適當的持份者及政府合 作，尋找合適的土地及物業，建設欖球設施和舉辦欖球活 動。欖總致力準備相關文件以支持欖總與政府討論短期租 約續租的問題。項目狀態 — 黃色 引言
場地設施小組委員會2016/17年度的報告會將提及關於對現 有設施的倡議及實際進展，另外亦會提到一些可推行的發 展新機遇。 設施策略計劃
憑著香港欖球總會合作伙伴Accenture的支持，我們史無前 例地實行一個與香港場地設施相關的策略計劃。計劃提供 可量化的資訊予董事會，讓他們了解由現在至2025年間欖 球場地的供求差額。
23
HKRU ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17
該計劃受到中國香港體育協會暨奧林匹克委員會的好評， 並已提交政府相關部門，作為《香港2030+》公眾參與運 動的一部分。計劃內的許多目標與政府所設想的長遠發展 策略之目標一致，因此我們認為計劃書是一個有效的工 具，能夠有力地表達出香港需要更多欖球設施的情況。香 港欖球總會面對的主要挑戰仍然是康樂及文化事務署的配 額制度，以及香港土地用途的優先權；然而，我們預計內 這情況於中短期內並不會有重大改變。 策略計劃相關的下一階段將會是與適當的持份者及政府繼 續合作，以達至增加香港欖球總會的場地使用權的目的， 並制訂如何縮窄欖球設施的供求差距。為此，我們需要與 政府、學校、大學及可能切合本會需要之土地及物業擁有 者保持良好聯繫。 將軍澳
雖然詳細協議條款仍未落實，但香港欖球總會原則上與 香港足球協會達成共識，將其新足協學院(HKFA Football Academy)的其中一個人造球場劃為欖球場，並會符合世 界欖球標準。全新的欖球場從日出康城港鐵站步行即可抵 達，感謝香港欖球總會管理團隊努力的成果。
HKRU STRATEGIC PLAN REVIEW reportS – 香港欖球總會策略計劃報告
The next stage of activity relating to the strategic plan will be to continue to work with appropriate stakeholders and the Government in order to increase access to pitches for the HKRU and to develop ways to close the gap between supply and demand for suitable rugby facilities. This will include liaison with the Government, schools, universities and owners of land and property that may be suitable for our needs.
The HKRU believes that the pitch at Tin Shui Wai demonstrates the positive effects that the game of rugby can have on the community and has highlighted this point within its various submissions to the Government. If further sites of this nature can be made available to the HKRU, we are positive about our ability to be able to replicate the work done to date in Tin Shui Wai.
Tseung Kwan O
Kings Park
Whilst the detailed terms of the agreement are yet to be finalised, the HKRU has agreed in principle with the Hong Kong Football Association (HKFA) that one of the artificial pitches at the new HKFA Football Academy in Tseung Kwan O will be marked for rugby and will be World Rugby compliant. This represents access to a new site within walking distance from the Lohas Park MTR station and is the result of much hard work on the part of the HKRU management team.
Kings Park is operated by the HKRU on a short-term lease and as long as this is the case there will always be some uncertainty regarding the occupation of the site. The HKRU however is committed to doing everything possible to maintain Kings Park as a focal point for the rugby community
Tin Shui Wai
During the year, the HKRU completed the substantial investment in the changing facilities and toilet block at Tin Shui Wai, notwithstanding the fact that this ground is held on a rolling short-term lease from the Government. The HKRU continues to make use of Tin Shui Wai to accommodate the increasing numbers of participants in the Tin Shui Wai Pandas rugby club, and also to host many of its community outreach programmes such as Operation Breakthrough, which is run in conjunction with the Police.
京士柏
京士柏運動場由香港欖球總會營運，惟其短期租約形式使 運用場地存在不確定性。然而，欖總致力維持京士柏運動 場作為欖球社區據點，並已設立一個規模較小的小組委員 會專責處理。 香港欖球總會將繼續使用京士柏場地舉辦不同種類且能為 香港社區帶來更廣泛的價值的活動，包括與欖球不相關的 活動。與此同時，小組亦會不斷準備相關文件，以支持欖 總與政府討論短期租約續租的問題。 天水圍
今年，香港欖球總會完成大額投資，改善天水圍欖球場的 設施及洗手間淤塞的問題，縱使該場地只獲政府以持續 短期租約以供使用。香港欖球總會繼續利用天水圍的欖球 場，滿足天水圍熊貓欖球會不斷增加的參與人數，亦舉辦 多項社區外展活動，例如與警隊合辦的「奮進行動」。
啟德體育園 啟德體育園計劃，香港欖球總會就已獲充分諮詢，政府亦 已啟動相關的投標前資格審查程序。面對啟德體育園的未 來任何發展，欖總將繼續努力確保能夠參與諮詢；並將竭 盡所能，為香港國際七人欖球賽遷移到新體育園之可能性 作好準備。
欖總認為，天水圍的欖球場能顯現欖球運動對社區所帶來 的正面影響，並將致力於不同場合向政府提交意見的內容 中強調這一點。若欖總獲得更多與天水圍欖球場性質相同 的場地，有望能將天水圍的成功例子複製。

HKRU STRATEGIC PLAN REVIEW reportS – 香港欖球總會策略計劃報告
and has set up a smaller sub-committee to deal specifically with this issue. The HKRU continues to use Kings Park for a range events that have a broader value to the Hong Kong community both in and outside of rugby and is preparing relevant material on an ongoing basis in order to lend weight to the argument that the HKRU’s short term tenancy agreement should be renewed in due course. Kai Tak Sports Hub
The HKRU has been consulted in relation to the proposed Kai Tak Sports Hub, and the Government has now initiated the pre-tender qualification process. The HKRU continues to work to ensure it remains consulted on any latest developments and is taking all possible steps to be prepared for a possible move of the Hong Kong Sevens tournament to the new sports hub. Outlook and Summary
Whilst it is difficult to offer much certainty regarding future projects and the timeframes in which they will come to fruition, the HKRU remains confident in its facilities strategy and the multifaceted approach to increasing pitch access for our members.
the Tung Chung and Pok Fu Lam areas, although the scale of these projects and therefore the necessary background work and level of consultation required means that results will not be tangible in the short term. Pitch access remains a key issue for the HKRU and facilities capacity is always likely to constrain our efforts to grow the game, as such, it remains front and centre in the wider HKRU strategic plan. Our efforts to increase pitch access are in line with the HKRU’s goals of broadening player participation from the performance end of the game right through to community level. As a result, the HKRU continues to explore all avenues via which to enhance the capacity of existing pitches as well as identify new opportunities for additional playing facilities. However, the potential challenges in increasing, and even maintaining, pitch access levels should not be underestimated. Finally, I would like to offer a special thanks to all of the staff at the HKRU for their assistance throughout my term, and in particular to Daniel Fan and the core facilities team, who do such a great job of maintaining our facilities for the benefit of all.
Progress is being made in relation to potential facilities within
展望和總結 雖然很難確定未來的發展項目及其實施時間表，但香港欖 球總會仍對設施策略及爭取更多場地供會員使用的多元方 案感到樂觀。 在東涌和薄扶林地區具有潛力發展設施，我們亦已取得一 定進展。然而，當中涉及的準備工作和諮詢很多，短期內 未能見到明確成果。 場地供應將繼續是香港欖球總會的關鍵問題，設施的應付 能力往往限制了總會發展欖球運動。因此，這將繼續成為 欖總廣泛策略計劃中排名最前及最中心的一項目標。我們 在增加設施的投入，與欖總對球員在比賽以至社區參與的 目標一致。香港欖球總會將探索一切可行渠道，以提升現 有球場的應付能力，亦同時辨認新機遇，以增加設施供 應。 然而，我們不能低估增加及維持現有場地供應的潛在 挑戰。

To promote and develop the existing women’s and girls’ leagues to maximise participation at all levels with clear development pathways from community to elite level. Progress - Amber
Development Pathway
The HKRU has identified and continues to develop multilevel development pathways, reflecting the fact that girls and women in Hong Kong join the game at different ages and stages, with many only being introduced to the sport after leaving school and some rejoining the game after a break for studies during their youth years. Mini-Girls Rugby (up to U12)
A review has been undertaken of the current structure for Mini-Girls Rugby for U10s and U12s. As a result of this review, it is intended to establish a separate U9s and U10s Girls’ league for the 2017-2018 season. Feedback has been sought from clubs and coaches regarding implementation with further meetings to be held once this feedback is collated and assessed.

Girls Youth Rugby
Girls School Rugby
The Girls League structure is being developed with a view to increasing match playing opportunities at youth levels by streamlining the Colts and school leagues to complement the National Age Grade programme and to ensure programmes are player centred.
Domestic Women’s Rugby
Following surveys and ongoing meetings with various stakeholders involved in the Girls Youth game since 20152016, the HKRU has sought to develop initiatives that are player centred and development driven and which address four areas: Game Profile, Recruitment, Retention and Club Development.
A regional championship format including players from schools and the Club structure was successfully introduced at U19s level and in 2016-2017 was expanded to include U16s teams. This model allows girls to challenge and stretch themselves within different groups of players, including players from schools that do not regularly compete in club tournaments. It has also helped produce more competitive and even matches. In 2016-17, at least ten clubs participated at U14, U16 and U19 levels – for results see the Girls’ Youth Report.
女子聯賽的結構發展將以增加女子青少年參賽機會、精簡 聯賽並與香港代表隊組別互補，強調計劃以球員為中心。 我們成功推出U19組別的地區冠軍賽形式，並於2016-2017 年度擴展至U16隊伍。這個形式令女子球員可以透過與不同 組別的球員對賽挑戰和超越自己，包括並非恆常參與球會 賽事的學界球員。這亦有助增加更多富競爭性而程度相若 的比賽。在2016-17年，至少有十個球會參與U14、U16和 U19組別的積事－賽果請參閱女子青少年欖球報告。 女子學界欖球
香港欖球總會正進行女子學界欖球的檢討，現向各持分者 收集反饋及意見，以評估如何改善參與者體驗、進一步保 留現有球員及招募新球員，並發展以球員為中心的架構。

HKRU ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17
The HKRU is currently undertaking a review of Schools Rugby as it relates to girls. Feedback and views are being sought from concerned stakeholders with a view to assessing how to improve the quality of the participation experience, increase the retention and recruitment of new players, and develop a structure which is player focussed.
Following the 2015-2016 season, a survey was undertaken and feedback obtained from the various clubs regarding the previous season. The HKRU identified and assessed common issues arising and what is needed to help develop the women’s game further. As with girls’ rugby, programmes and initiatives will be developed under four categories: Game Profile, Recruitment, Retention and Club Development. For 2016-2017, a three-division structure was established with all divisions playing fifteens for the first time.
本地成年女子欖球
在2015-2016賽季之後，我們進行了一項調查，並從各球 會取得對上一季的意見。香港欖球總會了解到及評測出一 些常見問題，藉以找尋進一步發展成年女子欖球的改善方 案。正如女子青少年欖球一樣，本地成年女子欖球的發展 方向亦包括四方面︰比賽概觀、球員招聘、挽留及球會發 展。

International Rugby
Strategic Objectives:
Women’s 15s qualify for the Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2017. Progress - Green Women’s 7s to finish in the top two in the Asia Rugby Sevens Series to maximise the opportunity to qualify for the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series, and to qualify for the 2020 Olympics. Progress - Red
Initial preparations for the WRWC focussed on individual player development and planning to ensure players, many of whom work full-time, can balance the demands of intensive training alongside their daily work and family life. A key consideration has also been management of the training loads for the Hong Kong sevens players, who were also training for the Women’s World Rugby Sevens Series Qualifier in April 2017 and who will also be competing in the Asia Rugby Sevens Series in late 2017.
Fifteens
2016/17 saw the introduction of a comprehensive high performance programme for the women’s game to maximize the opportunity to qualify for the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2017. The programme was carefully structured to complement the full-time HKSI Sevens programme, with many players selected for both fifteens and sevens national squads The programme provided additional strength and conditioning sessions alongside individual skill development and team tactical strategies. The hard work and determination of all the players and team management was realised with victory over Fiji and a narrow loss to Japan in the WRWC Qualifying event in Hong Kong, resulting in qualification for the Women’s Rugby World Cup in Dublin, Ireland in 2017. Hong Kong will face New Zealand, Canada and Wales in the pool games in Dublin.
國際欖球
策略目標:
女子十五人欖球隊 — 獲取2017年女子欖球世界盃參賽資 格。項目狀態 — 綠色 女子七人欖球隊能在亞洲七人欖球系列賽事中能坐亞望 冠，增加獲取世界七人欖球賽系列賽參賽資格的機會，以 及獲得2020年奧運會參賽資格。項目狀態 — 紅色 十五人欖球代表隊
為增加獲取2017年女子欖球世界盃參賽資格的機會， 我們 在2016/17年度增添一個針對女子隊的全面高水平課程。課 程設計上，新的課程會輔助現時的香港體育學院七人欖球 課程，不少球員均入選十五人及七人代表隊。
女子欖球世界盃的前期訓練著重個別球員的發展，以及幫 助身兼全職工作的球員於訓練、家庭及工作上取得平衡。 另一方面，亦要平衡入選七人欖球代表隊球員的訓練時 數；因為她們同時準備2017年4月的世界女子七人欖球系 列賽外圍賽及年底舉行的亞洲七人欖球系列賽。 由四月開始，更多球員開始為準備女子欖球世界盃接受訓 練。在5月30日和6月3日，她們赴西班牙與西班牙隊進行 訓練賽及一場友誼賽；另她們將於7月8及15日舉行的亞洲 女子欖球錦標賽對戰日本。 七月尾將會公佈出戰女子欖球世界盃的代表隊陣容，而球 隊將於8月出發。我們在此祝福球隊和管理團隊，希望他們 順利完成所有充滿挑戰的賽事。
此課程提供額外的力量及體能訓練、發展個人技巧和團體 戰策略訓練。球隊在女子欖球世界盃外圍賽擊敗斐濟、僅 負日本，最終獲得2017年愛爾蘭舉行的女子欖球世界盃參 賽資格，這些佳績證明球員和管理層的努力沒有白費。香 港將於女子欖球世界盃與新西蘭、加拿大和威爾斯在小組 賽事中交手。

Since April a wider training squad has been training together in preparation for the WRWC. A training game and test match against Spain took place on 30 May and 3 June respectively, with two matches against Japan in the Asia Rugby Championship scheduled for 8th and 15th July.
The final WRWC squad will be selected towards the end of July and will depart in August. We wish the team and management all the very best for what will be a very challenging and competitive tournament. Sevens
The Women’s Sevens squad had a difficult year. They under achieved on their stated tournament performance goals, which included them finishing outside of the top two of the Asia Rugby Sevens Series and failing to qualify for day two at the Women’s World Series Qualifiers in Hong Kong. A full programme review has been completed with key issues to be addressed over the next six months in order to maximize the opportunities for a podium finish at the Asian Games 2018 and continued development towards Olympic Games qualification in 2020. The Hong Kong Women’s Sevens team finished third overall in the 2016 Asia Rugby Sevens Series, and failed to reach the top eight in the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series Qualifier hosted in Hong Kong.
七人欖球代表隊
女子七人欖球隊過了不平凡的一年。他們的表現稍遜預 期，包括在亞洲七人欖球系列賽中未能晉身頭兩名位置， 另於香港舉行的世界女子七人欖球系列外圍賽中未能晉身 第二日比賽。我們已進行全面檢討，期望可以於未來6個月 內解決問題。我們寄望她們於2018年舉行的亞運會中能夠 躋身三甲之列，以及取得2020年奧運會參賽資格。在2016 年舉行的亞洲女子七人欖球系列賽，香港女子隊勇奪季 軍，惟於在2017年4月香港舉行的世界女子七人系列外圍賽 中並未能打入八強。 「女子七人欖球」計劃首要是挑選合適的球員參加短期賽 事(2018年亞運會)及長期賽事(2020年奧運會)。 香港欖球總會正在發展「Development Sevens」計劃 (香 港特別行政區護照持有者)及在暑假期間舉辦「U20七人欖 球」課程。現時女子七人欖球代表隊共有14名全職球員、4 名兼職球員，以及一位就讀香港體育學院課程的具潛質球 員。我們必須增加球員數目，令球隊能參與國際賽事和符 合代表香港的要求。

HKRU ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17
The key priority for the Women’s Sevens programme is to identify additional players to provide strength in depth in both the long-term, (Olympics 2020), and the short-term (Asian Games 2018). The HKRU is working to progress a Development Sevens programme (for HKSAR passport holders) as well as to continue to deliver the U20 Sevens programme each summer. At present the Women’s Sevens programme has 14 full time, four part-time and one potential player in the HKSI programme; therefore it is essential to further grow the player base to able to compete at international level and meet the HKSAR requirements.

Participation numbers across all age levels continue to be healthy, and there is particularly strong growth in the local secondary schools where 7s is flourishing.
Strategic Objectives:
There are, however, areas for concern, including the significant drop-off of players when they transition from Mini to Colts rugby. Some of this is due to a general drop-off in sports participation when kids transition from primary to secondary school and start to focus more intensively on academic pursuits, and managing this drop-off has proved challenging. Having an active U13s competition assists with this transition, but is hampered by the fact that many Mini clubs do not have a natural Colts affiliation.
Create and implement a plan that seeks to encourage, facilitate and incentivise links and co-operation between clubs, schools and the HKRU’s Performance Rugby Department. Progress Amber Root and Branch assessment of Schools & Colts Rugby. Progress - Amber As Hong Kong School Sports Federation (the body that manages schools sports in HK schools) transitions performance/results recognition from 15s to 7s at secondary school level, HKRU to ensure a 15s competition structure continues in schools. Progress - Green

為球員提供清晰的小型欖球至成人欖球發展途徑，已有助 控制球員流失情況。一些規模較大的球會設較清晰的球員 發展途徑，但比較小的球會則未能提供同樣發展安排。而 目前為止，亦未有一個總體規劃幫助小型球會成員過渡到 青少年球會，再轉為成人球會成員；不過，一些球會已建 立相關聯繫。
為學界及青少年欖球作全面評估。項目狀態 — 黃色
我們期望增強球會之間的連結，同時也希望能改善中、小 學的聯繫。現時中、小學並沒有過渡機制，期待我們在240 間小學的發展工作，可以逐步協助他們順利於升中後參與 欖球。
設計一個針對建立及促進球員、學界及香港欖球總會高水 平欖球部門合作和聯繫之計劃，並加以實行。 項目狀態 — 黃色
鑑於香港學界體育聯會認可的中學15人欖球賽事轉為7人欖 球賽事，香港欖球總會需要確保15人欖球賽事的架構仍會 繼往開來。項目狀態 — 綠色 各年齡的參與人數均有增長，特別是本地中學的7人欖球成 員。 不過，從小型欖球隊轉為青少年欖球隊的球員明顯減少。 這情況歸咎於小學生升上中學時暫停參與運動而專注學術 成績。要控制球員流失並非易事，設立U13恆常賽事有利過 渡，幫助減輕升中對球員流失的影響，惟不是每個小型欖 球會有過渡至青年欖球的機制。

HKRU STRATEGIC PLAN REVIEW reportS – 香港欖球總會策略計劃報告
Identifying a clearly defined pathway for players from mini entry to senior rugby participation has helped and many clubs have stepped up to the plate to help players stay in the game. For players in large clubs, the pathway can be clear; for players in smaller clubs, far less so. There is no overarching plan yet that maps out the transition paths for players from smaller Mini clubs through to Colts rugby and then on to senior Club rugby , but some encouraging linkages have been established by our member Clubs.
In the meantime the schools’ leagues, both in fifteens and sevens, ran at full throttle this past season.
Whilst linkages between clubs can be further encouraged and mapped, this process is far less clear in schools, where for the most part there is no automatic transition between primary and secondary schools. The development work on Primary Schools (240 schools) should in time allow for more players to feed into secondary schools.
The All Hong Kong Sevens Finals for schools were held on consecutive Fridays (12 & 19 May) and Saturday (20 May) at Kings Park.
The Boys Schools A Grade fifteens final was won by South Island School who beat West Island School in one of the most hotly contested finals ever, with a 6-5 score-line. B Grade and C Grade competitions were won by KGV. KGV beat WIS to win the A Grade Girls Final.
At secondary level, since September 2016, the HKRU has been working on developing a cohesive and more integrated Schools and Colts rugby programme for youth players. Whilst there is agreement on the need to overhaul the current structure to provide a better environment and culture to enable our youngsters to realise their athletic potential, building a consensus on what the new structure should look like has proved a challenge, and the process is still in progress.
在中學方面，自2016年9月開始，香港欖球總會積極為年輕 球員設計一個具凝聚力及綜合性的校內青少年欖球課程。 我們贊成修訂現有的架構，期望能迎合年青球員的需要， 讓球員有發揮的餘地。改善架構的過程殊不簡單，工作正 在進行中。 同一時間，本年度的學界十五人及七人欖球聯 賽，均在熱鬧歡呼聲中圓滿結束。 南島中學擊敗西島中學，以六比五險勝奪得男子甲組15人 總決賽冠軍，是有史以來最激烈的決賽戰況。乙組和丙級 賽事由英皇佐治五世學校奪冠。在女子甲組賽事，英皇佐 治五世學校在決賽擊敗西島中學捧走冠軍獎盃。

The event was split over 3 full days due to the large number of teams participating (24 boys teams and 16 girls teams). These 40 teams were only the finalists of a much larger competition taking place all over Hong Kong. Following is a sampling of the variety of schools now participating:
• Boys A Grade Champion: Diocesan Boys’ School, Runner up: Buddhist Fat Ho Memorial College
• Boys B Grade Champion: YMCA of Hong Kong Christian College, Runner up: Buddhist Fat Ho Memorial College • Boys C Grade Champion: QESOSA, Runner up: Creative Secondary School
• Girls AB Grade Champion: Hotung Secondary School, Runner up: Heep Yunn School • Girls C Grade Champion: HKUGA College, Runner up: YMCA Of Hong Kong Christian College
The breadth of sevens rugby now played in schools is staggering and HKSSF, with significant HKRU support, do a great job in ensuring that the competition runs smoothly. For the full set of Minis, Colts, Girls’ Youth and Schools results please refer to the reports specifically dealing with these rugby sections elsewhere in this Annual Report.

得到贊助商的大力支持，過去一年，參與欖球活動的小學 數目大大增加。我們按照各學校的背景及需要，在校內舉 辦各種主題的欖球課程。今年，共有逾180間小學參與我們 的欖球課程。 成績較顯著的課程包括：由UBS贊助的「HK’ s Rugby Spirit」共有50多間學校參與；由康文署舉辦的「Easy Sports Competition」共有40多間學校參與；由渣打銀行 贊助聯同警隊舉辦的「控球在手(Don’ t Drop the Ball)」共 有逾25間學校參與；而與教育局合辦的「Rugby English Action Learning」則有超過30間學校參與。 今年，本地直升學校(小學及中學部均有欖球課程)數目明顯 增加。現時，共有十間直升學校，另有五間學校在小學部 或中學部推行欖球課程。直升學制令學生們於小學過渡至 中學時，對欖球運動的參與不致受到影響。 今年，香港欖球總會和保良局合作關係密切。現時，我們 共有22間保良局小學參與本會的欖球課程。此外，今年五 月中，我們首次帶領一支保良局隊伍參與在北京舉行的青 少年非撞式欖球賽。藉此機會，學生可以透過欖球活動， 認識中國文化和建立友誼。

More specifically, the participation of the local through-train schools increased this year. We now have ten through-train schools (both primary and secondary sections have rugby programmes), while another five schools offer rugby at either primary or secondary section level. This through-train system is essential to ensure that the rugby development of the participating youth will not be interrupted during the primary to secondary transition. Collaboration between HKRU and Po Leung Kok (PLK) has also been strengthened significantly this year. We now have 22 PLK primary schools participating in our programmes, and in addition we had the first ever joint PLK schools team take part in a youth touch rugby competition in Beijing in mid-May. This was a good opportunity for the students to build new friendships and to understand more about Chinese culture through their love of rugby. In February another important new community initiative was launched in partnership with the Education University of Hong Kong and HSBC - ‘HSBC Try Rugby’. Going forward all trainee PE teachers studying at EdUHK will attend rugby coaching clinics and seminars that will provide them with basic touch rugby coaching skills, and will also receive a coaching manual and a starter pack with balls, pumps, bibs, cones and a whistle. The same support is also being offered to existing PE teachers, and the interest so far has been very encouraging – the ultimate aim will be to have a rugby-friendly PE teacher in every local primary school.
在匯豐銀行的鼎力支持下，今年2月我們開辦一個全新社區 課程－「HSBC Try Rugby」。 這個課程是由香港欖球總 會和香港教育大學合辦。課程為老師提供一份嚴格而富趣 味性的輔導教材。在香港教育大學就讀的職前體育教師和 在小學任職的體育老師，均需參加有關欖球訓練的工作坊 和講座，以教授非撞式欖球運動的基本技巧。最後，他們 將收到一份入門裝備，包括欖球、防撞裝備、龜背背心、 色碟(塑膠錐)及哨子；上述資源亦提供予現職體育老師，協 助他們在校內推廣欖球。迄今為止，我們樂見課程大受歡 迎，令人鼓舞。我們的最終目標是每所本地小學亦有樂於 推廣欖球的體育老師 。
At senior level, in April 2017 rugby sevens for men and women made its debut as an exhibition sport at the Hong Kong Games, a huge step towards full inclusion in the 2019 HK Games going forward. The Hong Kong Games is a biennial territory-wide multi-sport event with all 18 District Councils participating. At present, only eight sports (athletics, badminton, basketball, futsal, swimming, table tennis, tennis and volleyball) are played, and all are considered mainstream sports in Hong Kong. The rugby sevens competitions for both Men and Women were held on 29 April and 1 May respectively, and received positive feedback from players, coaches and spectators.
The winning teams: “Sai Kung District Men’s Team” and “Yuen Long District Women’s Team”, will represent Hong Kong at the Hell Gate Sevens Tournament in New York. We hope that Sevens can be formally included for the next Hong Kong Games in 2019. We would like to record our thanks to all our sponsors, to Brandon Huang and the HKRU Community Department staff, and to all those in the wider rugby community who are helping the growth and development of our sport.
男子七人欖球賽事在4月29日舉行，而女子七人欖球賽事則 在5月1日舉行，很高興我們從球員、教練及觀眾均得到正 面回應。 西貢區男子隊及元朗區女子隊在比賽中勝出，他們將會代 表香港出席在紐約舉辦的Hell Gate七人欖球賽事。我們希 望七人欖球會在2019年全港運動會中，正式成為一項官方 賽事。 我們感謝贊助商、黃耀斌、香港欖球總會社區欖球 部職員，以及整個欖球社群對欖球運動的貢獻和支持。
在成人欖球級別，七人欖球在2017年4月於全港運動會中以 表演賽事登場，對成為2019年全港運動會的其中一項比賽 項目之目標，邁進一大步。 全港運動會是每兩年舉辦一屆的體育盛事。它是一個以十 八區區議會為參賽單位的全港性大型綜合運動會。現時全 港運動會只設有8個比賽項目，包括田徑、羽毛球、籃球、 五人足球、游泳、乒乓球、網球及排球，以上所有項目都 是香港的主流運動。

HKRU STRATEGIC PLAN REVIEW reportS – 香港欖球總會策略計劃報告
Marketing During the past 12 months, the HKRU have looked at developing additional events and properties to engage corporate sponsorship support outside of the Hong Kong Sevens platform. Some early successes include securing title sponsorship for both the women’s and men’s senior domestic leagues, with KPMG and Old Mutual International signing on as Women’s and Men’s Domestic League Sponsors respectively. The development of the HSBC Try Rugby Program has also extended the partnership between the Union and the Bank. The Union is currently seeking commercial sponsorship and partnerships around Mini Rugby and the Hong Kong Men’s Premiership (Old Mutual sponsors the entire League), as well as support for a Premiership Game of the Week. Meanwhile, we have explored the possibilities of deeper links with our corporate partners, and have established a model with KPMG that has seen four National Women’s Players on an internship programme.
Our efforts to maximise the value of the Hong Kong Sevens platform alongside other HKRU commercial opportunities have shown some initial success. The Sevens Rugby Week activities are described elsewhere in the Sevens SubCommittee Report, but suffice to note that such activations create an opportunity to engage with a wider audience and we intend to further develop this area in 2018. Meanwhile, with the initial objective of building an efficient CRM database, which currently stands at over 100,000 contacts, achieved, the HKRU will now examine ways to leverage this growing strength from a marketing perspective. The streamlined communications made possible by the database architecture will also ensure that we maintain a better informed community and can reach out directly to engage audiences around key HKRU events and the latest news in local rugby. Through the success of the CRM platform, the HKRU have been able to organize special gathering opportunities for specific business and partners within the Hong Kong Business Community. This capability will be further explored in terms of how it can be further commercialised.

球賽小組委員報告內列出。活動能讓更多觀眾接觸欖球， 在2018年我們亦會朝著這方向進一步發展。
我們成功為女子及男子本地成人聯賽找到冠名贊助商—畢 馬威 (女子隊) 及先機國際(男子隊)。
本會當初的目標是成立一個有效的客戶關係管理(CRM)平 台。當成立了CRM平台之後，香港欖球總會現時擁有超過 100,000用戶的數據庫。我們將考慮如何善用這數據作商業 用途；而精簡了的通訊方法令我們可以直接地接觸我們受 眾，以及發放最新的本地欖球資訊。
過去一年，我們積極發展各類欖球活動，讓企業贊助商可 以支持香港國際七人欖球賽以外的活動。
「HSBC Try Rugby Program」的發展，亦延展本會和滙豐 銀行的合作顆伴的關係。 本會現正為小型欖球、本地男子超級聯賽，以及每周超級 聯賽的重點球賽(Game of the Week)尋找商業贊助及合作 夥伴(先機國際贊助整個本地男子聯賽)。
藉著CRM平台的發展，香港欖球總會可為香港商業社區內 特定的行業及夥伴舉辦聚會，我們正在探討如何令活動更 商業化。
與此同時，我們慾強化與企業夥伴的關係。總會和KPMG 合作，讓四名香港女子代表隊球員進行實習計劃。
在本地及國際層面上，我們很高興成功凝聚到一班香港球 迷。在香港本地，有超過7000球迷觀賞(網上收看及現場觀 看)京士柏舉行的季尾賽事。聯賽隊伍在亞洲欖球錦標賽及 超級國家盃的卓越成績，令欖球活動增添商業價值，並得 到贊助商支持。
我們努力為香港國際七人欖球賽增值及尋找商機，並已達 至初步成功；瘋狂欖球週的活動細節將於香港國際七人欖
此外香港欖球總會繼續構思舉辦更多國際賽事的可能性， 例如Natixis 欖球盃、季中的超級欖球賽事和 國際熱身賽。

It is exciting that we are now being able to build an audience in Hong Kong, on both the domestic and international front. Domestically, a well attended grand final saw over 7,000 fans (both watching on-line and on location) witness some amazing rugby at Kings Park at the season ending event. With the national team’s recent success in the Asia Rugby Championship and the Cup of Nations, the HKRU feels that these events are building their potential as standalone sponsorship properties with a good potential to be commercially maximised. In addition, the HKRU continues to examine the feasibility of hosting international events, like the return of the successful Natixis Rugby Cup, as well as other potential opportunities for Super Rugby in-season matches and International Test Matches. Communication With a more established in-house marketing team, we are able to build on our close partnership with Elite Step Asia to enhance our media network in Hong Kong. In 2017, we successfully established direct relationships with SCMP, SportsRoad, HK01, Headline Daily, Yahoo Sports, Oriental Daily News Group, LeSport and Sina.com, who are now very active in promoting the game. In 2017, the HKRU reached the significant milestone of having a fanbase of more than 250,000 social media fans through our various social media platforms.

We now have in-house capacities with holistic digital media tracking so HKRU can determine when, where and how best to communicate on the digital platform for the best ROI. Over the past 12 months we have brought on board an experienced CRM (Customer Relations Management) Manager and implemented the SalesForce.com system , and we have grown our database from the initial 50,000 dataset to over 110,000 contacts. With the initial success of the CRM programme, the HKRU now has the capability to share more targeted, regular updates to stakeholders in the forms of Newsletters, Electronic Direct Mails, and Bulletins in a timely manner to ensure that stakeholders are kept up to date and informed on all HKRU events and communications; in addition it opens up exciting possibilities to leverage this growing strength from a commercial perspective. Kai Tak The expected opening of the new Kai Tak sports complex, including a state-of-the-art 50,000 seat Stadium, sometime around 2022/23 presents us with exciting opportunities and equally certain risks. We continue to monitor developments closely, and have regular communication with the Government and their consultants to ensure our views are heard.

Whilst hosting 40 international teams can create logistical challenges there were positive reviews and reports from World Rugby, World Series and Qualifier Team Managers and the International Rugby Players Association. Each group provided their feedback and evaluation on a number of tournament operational deliverables – for example: team travel, accommodation, stadium and training facilities, tournament host communication and tournament experience etc. The Hong Kong Sevens averaged 85% out of a possible 100% across all reports for the 2017 tournament.
HKSEVENS Rugby Week attendance totals surpassed stadium attendance for the first time, with 117,500 attendees visiting the events over the week. The 2017 Hong Kong Sevens tournament hosted the World Rugby Sevens Series, the World Rugby Sevens Series Qualifier and also for the first time the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series Qualifier, which was played over two days at So Kon Po with the semi-final and final held inside the Hong Kong Stadium. With forty teams involved in the tournament, the Hong Kong Sevens remains by far the largest event on the World Series.
瘋狂欖球週出席人數首次超越香港大球場，一週內的總參 加人次達117,500。 2017香港國際七人欖球賽中包含世界七人欖球系列賽、世 界七人欖球系列賽外圍賽，另外亦首次包辦世界女子七人 欖球賽系列賽外圍賽。女子組的賽事在掃捍埔運動場連續 兩日舉行，而準決賽和決賽則在香港大球場舉行。今年， 香港國際七人欖球賽的參賽隊伍共有40隊，是世界七人欖 球系列中規模最大的一站。 儘管主辦一個有40支隊伍參加的球賽必定會遇上很多物流 及後勤的挑戰，但從國際欖球理事會、世界欖球系列賽及 外圍賽球隊經理人和國際欖球員協會所得的回顧和報告均 為正面積極。 每個組別均會就比賽運作的狀況提供反饋和評核，例如隊 伍的交通安排、住宿、比賽場地及訓練設施、主辦單位溝 通和比賽體驗等。在2017年的所有報告中，香港國際七人 欖球賽平均獲得百分之85的評分。 香港國際七人欖球賽進行期間，場內繼續提供嶄新娛樂， 讓觀眾都能參與其中。新設娛慶節目包括在北看台比賽控 制塔搭建的舞台，三天賽事期間均設樂隊現場表演；另外 還請來「總統」大駕光臨、啦啦隊及親吻攝錄機等。

The Hong Kong Sevens inside the stadium also continued to provide new entertainment initiatives to keep attendees engaged. The inclusion of a stage built into the Tournament Control Tower on the North stand, allowed live bands to perform across all three days; Presidential impersonators, cheerleaders and “kiss cams” were also used in the sports presentation. Event atmosphere continues to be the top motivation to attend the sevens as the Cimigo market research showed 57% of attendees viewed this as the most important factor. The market research also highlighted that event satisfaction remains strong, with 97% of attendees confirming that they would recommend the event to friends and family, and 84% likely to return in 2018.
賽事的狂熱氣氛依然是觀眾出席香港國際七人欖球賽的最 大的動力。據Cimigo市場調查顯示，百分之57的受訪者認 為視氣氛為入場觀賽的最重要原因。該調查亦指出百分之 97的觀眾會將香港國際七人欖球賽推介予朋友和家人，而 百分之84的觀眾表示會參與2018年的香港國際七人欖球 賽。 香港國際七人欖球賽的社交媒體在追蹤人數及接觸層面持 續增長，該球賽的臉書專頁是主要的社交媒體，有超過十 萬人追蹤和380萬人次到訪。 今年，香港國際七人欖球賽的應用程式亦新增予一些功 能，例如國泰航空/匯豐香港國際七人欖球賽七欖美食匯 (Bars and Restaurants Club)，程式下載量增加13,000個， 達至32,000。hksevens.com網站依然是重要資訊平台，在 本年度達到一百萬瀏覽人次。 今屆的世界七人欖球系列賽在四年的循環中已完成兩季， 香港欖球總會將會與國際欖球總會緊密聯繫，在2017年 第四季提交議案，爭取舉辦下一輪世界七人欖球系列賽 (2020-2023)的資格。

The men’s team won the Asia Rugby U19 Championship in December 2016. As a result, the U20s Squad will travel to Uruguay in August 2017 to compete in their fourth successive World Rugby Junior World Trophy. The Men’s U20 Sevens team finished second in the Asia Rugby Sevens Series Championships, while defending the Cup in the Hong Kong tournament leg. Both our boys and girls squads at U18 level continue to support our U20 development with tournament winning performances at the Asian Schools Championships and Girls U18 Asia Rugby Championships respectively. The “Warriors” programmes have made some good progress this year, and both the “Senior Warriors” and the “Junior Warriors” (fifteens) had successful tours of the Philippines in December and August respectively. Outstanding players from the Senior Warriors (fifteens) have been referred to play in Premiership or NL1 league, while five Junior Warriors (fifteens) were invited to join the National Age Grade U19 training squad. Four talented Junior Warriors (fifteens) were also invited to join the Senior National Sevens squad training for five weeks at the Sports Institute to further assess their potential.
The “Junior Warriors” sevens programme was also introduced this year, with the players engaging in a six week training programme before a four squad regional competition. A number of players were then selected to participate in a strength and conditioning programme at THEi. The Warriors coaching team are satisfied with the progress so far, and are continuously evaluating the programme to ensure that we are creating an environment that will lead to a wider player base for our Hong Kong National teams.

我們今年更增設青年7人戰士隊，在參加四區比賽之前，他 們參加了六星期的特訓。當中幾名優秀的球員被選中，他 們得以參與在THEi進行的力量及體能訓練。
我們U20男子隊在亞洲七人欖球系列賽中取得總亞軍，並於 香港站舉行的賽事當中奪得銀盃。
戰士隊教練團隊滿意球員的進展。他們將繼續為球員舉辦 訓練課，並評估計劃的成效，期望能夠營造一個為香港代 表隊提供具潛質球員的環境。
我們在U18級別的男、女子隊積極支持U20組別欖球發展； 兩支球隊分別在亞洲學界錦標賽和女子U18亞洲欖球錦標賽 獲獎。
男子十五人代表隊
今年，「戰士隊」(Warriors)項目進展良好。去年的12月和 今年8月，成人15人戰士隊和青年15人戰士隊赴菲律賓比 賽，兩次訓練之旅均十分成功。 一些成人15人戰士隊表現出色的球員，在轉介下加入超級 聯賽或社區聯賽第一組別。另外，青年15人戰士隊赴的其 中5名球員加入了香港U19代表隊參與訓練。此外，四位才 華洋溢青年15人 戰士隊被邀請加入成人七人代表隊，在香 港體育學院進行的五週訓練課程，以便評估其潛質。
「精英十五人欖球計劃」踏入第二年，我們繼續支持及訂 立新基準，來測量各組別的表現水平，期望我們能得到 2019和2023年舉行的欖球世界盃參賽資格。 在2016年的超級國家盃(Cup of Nations)與巴布亞新幾內亞 和津巴布韋的對賽中，球員表現理想，贏得精彩；在決賽 日大戰俄羅斯，香港隊亦交出兩軍對壘迄今最好的表現。 另—進展是港隊於亞洲欖球錦標賽與日本對賽，球隊表現 良好，創造20年以來比分差距最接近的成績；而港隊亦連 續第二年擊敗韓國兼取得第二名。

Men’s Fifteens
Domestic
The Cup of Nations 2016 provided an early indication of the upward performance trends with fine wins against Papua New Guinea and Zimbabwe along with our best performance to date against Russia in the final.
The Men’s Premiership provided the most competitive and intense season in recent memory. The CCOs continue to work very closely with all HKRU High Performance staff to maximize performance levels of international players, both within the Premiership League and in International Competition.
The Elite Rugby Programme (ERP), in its second year, continues to support and set new performance standards at all levels as we work towards qualification for the Rugby World Cup in 2019 and 2023.
These positive movements were also evident with very good performances against Japan in the Asia Rugby Championship, recording the closest score lines in both games for the last 20 years. This success was further enhanced with wins against Korea as Hong Kong finished second in the Championship for the second year in succession Men’s Sevens
The Men’s Sevens squad had another successful season, retaining the Asia Rugby Sevens Series Championship while qualifying for the World Sevens Series Qualifiers in Hong Kong and the World Rugby Singapore Sevens. This continues to support our strategic goal of a podium finish at the Asian Games 2018 and further enhance our qualification prospects for the Olympic Games in 2020.
男子七人代表隊
男子七人欖球隊度過成功一季。他們在亞洲七人系列賽奪 冠，並取得香港舉辦的世界七人系列外圍賽及新加坡七人 欖球賽的參賽資格。他們的佳績足以支持我們向策略目標 進發—於2018年亞運會取得前三甲位置，及取得2020年奧 運會參賽資格。 本地
從2016/17季度起，我們實行全新的成人男、女子聯賽架 構，兩個聯賽均被視為近年最佳「版本」。 男子超級聯賽今季度戰況特別激烈，球會練繼續與香港欖 球總會緊密合作，確保外藉球員在超級聯賽及國際賽事中 能發揮最高水平。 女子聯賽的各組別戰況均非常激烈，華利欖球會和雞糊欖 球會雙雙名列前茅。展望未來，我們需要檢視及為球會向 國際隊伍增加球員數量。 季前舉行的新設七人欖球超級聯賽已公佈比賽日期，在九 月份將設三場比賽，計劃讓戰士隊參加上述比賽；同樣在 九月初舉行的還有亞洲七人欖球系列賽。

HKRU ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17
On the domestic front, a new senior league structure for both men and women was implemented for the 2016/17 Season. Both leagues proved to be the most successful incarnations seen for many years.
The Women’s Leagues provided a very competitive competition at all levels. Two clubs dominated the Premiership League, Valley and Gai Wu. Further review and support is required over the coming years to grow the player base in order to support both the clubs and international teams. Dates are already set for a new Club Premiership Sevens competition in the coming pre-season, with 3 legs to be played culminating in the finals alongside the Asia Rugby Sevens Series at the beginning of September – the plan is to include a Warriors side in this tournament as well.
球賽執法人員
在球賽執法的發展方面，每年均在不斷改善和提升。在 2016/17賽季，執法人員較上年同期增長15%，執法賽事則 增加12%。 以中文及英文為授課語言的比賽執法課程「Match Officiating Courses」錄得超過110名參與者，為球賽執法 的發展帶來正面影響。 另參加我們「青年學堂課程」的人數錄得雙倍增長。當 中有22名U18執法人員參加了此課程，為各組別的球賽執 法。 香港欖球總會將繼續擴展國際球賽執法小組，為亞洲及世 界欖球賽執法。 在2016/17賽季，共有11名香港執法人員加入亞洲欖球執法 小組。另外， 麥菲諾(Matthew Rodden)和貝克(Tim Baker) 被選中為世界七人欖球系列賽和世界國際十五人欖球賽事 的執法人員。

Match Officials
Match officiating continues to develop at all levels on an annual basis. In 2016/17, the number of active match officials increased 15% year on year, with a 12% increase in the number of games officiated. This growth was supported in 2016/17 with a record number of Match Officiating courses being delivered through the mediums of both Cantonese and English, facilitating over 110 participants. Our junior academy programme doubled in size with 22 U18s members joining the programme and officiating at all levels of the game.
support has been completed with further developments planned for 2017/18. The coach development team continues to work across all levels of the game, providing support and feedback to coaches at both community and performance clubs as well as within our international programmes. Finally, we would like to record our appreciation for the contribution of all the match officials, coaches, managers, staff, volunteers, sponsors, spectators, and of course the players for their commitment and passion for Hong Kong national rugby.
The HKRU has also continued to grow its Match Officiating International panel within both Asia and World Rugby.
A record number eleven HKRU match officials joined the Asia Rugby panel in 2016/17 with an additional two Match Officials, Matthew Rodden and Tim Baker, gaining selection for the World Sevens Series and World Rugby International XVs games respectively. Coaching

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
City Rugby Football Club This season has been a huge learning curve for our club as a whole. Both our Men’s and Women’s first teams took up the challenge to compete in NL2 and the Women’s Premiership respectively, marking the highest level in which our Club has competed. However, results did not go as we had expected. The Men’s team endured some heavy defeats along the way, but spirits remained high throughout the campaign. They did come close to winning on a few occasions, and even managed to give the bigger teams a scare; however, it was not to be. The experience that the team has gained this season will prove invaluable in the future, and together with their positive attitude, that elusive first NL2 victory will surely come next season. Our Women’s team also had their first taste of Premiership rugby this season. Pre-season was started early with the hopes of helping the girls adjust to a higher intensity level of rugby ahead of the season.
As anticipated, the Women lost all of their matches in the first half of the season, but the girls never gave up and trained even harder through the Christmas break. Finally their hard work was rewarded in the second half of the season as they recorded their first ever Premiership victory over Kowloon RFC. After this debut season, the Women’s team is now looking to build on from this victory and aim for a higher place on the league table next season. While our Men’s second and third teams both competed admirably in their respective leagues, it was our Men’s and Women’s development teams that achieved the best results.
Many of our summer recruits were placed in our development teams competing in NL7 and Women’s NL2. Initially, both teams struggled at the start of the season; however, once they got going, they improved in every game and peaked at the right end of the season.
城市欖球會 我們球會在本季度一直處於學習中－男子及女子組(第一隊) 接受挑戰，分別參加社區聯賽第二組別及女子超級聯賽， 是本會有史以來完成的最高級別，惟賽果未如人願。男子 第一隊方面，他們屢敗屢戰，並沒有影響他們的士氣。尤 其其中幾場賽事，男子組的表現令強敵吃驚。縱然最終未 能獲勝，男子第一隊在本賽季所累積的寶貴經驗，必定能 在下年度的比賽中大派用埸。憑着他們積極的態度，我們 期待他們能於下季社區聯賽第二組別中脫穎而出。 跟男子隊相若，女子第一隊也首次參加超級聯賽。隊員提 早季前訓練，希望夠適應高一級別的賽事。女子隊並沒有 在前半季贏任何賽事，屬預期之內；球員們在聖誕假期間 加緊練習，終於在後半季的賽事、與九龍欖球會的比賽中 獲得首勝。在此，我們希望女子第一隊於下年度的聯賽可 爭取更高席位。 男子第二及第三隊於聯賽中有不俗表現，而男子及女子發 展隊亦取得其最佳成績。

大部分在夏季招收的球員加入發展隊伍，他們分別被安排 出戰社區聯賽第七組別和女子社區聯賽第二組別。兩隊在 賽季初期困難重重，幸愈近季尾，他們表現愈見進步。 男子第四隊憑著強勢表現在社區聯賽第七組別季後總決賽 (Grand Championship)中奪冠。而女子組在賽季中期分成 兩組，女子第二隊雄霸整個社區聯賽第二組別B，奪得該聯 賽及季後總決賽的雙料冠軍或許今年不是我們球會最成功 的一季，但對球會而言是成功和值得紀念的球季，我們會 繼續努力。 另外，今年可見發展隊的成功，這印證本會以培育本地英 材為目標是正確無誤。我們相信建立雄厚基礎，能為下季 帶來更好的成績。

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
The Men’s fourth team had a strong run towards the end of the season, winning the NL7 Grand Championship Final. The Women’s second team dominated WNL2B after the league was split following the first half of the season. They ended up winning both the WNL2B League and the Grand Championship Final. Overall, this season may not be our most successful one in the record books, however, there are many positives that we are taking onboard and will continue to work on for next season.
Our success in the development teams proves that we are still achieving our Club’s primary objective by continuing to develop local talent for the future. We trust that the strong foundations that we are building now will help us to achieve better results at a higher level in the coming season.

Discovery Bay Pirates Rugby Football Club After a year of highs with the occasional low, DB Pirates certainly packed a lot into their season again this year. DB Pirates All Girls Beach Festival
Attracting 55 teams, playing across two jam-packed days, our beach festival was a success once again. The custommade inflatable pitches were a big hit and solved one of the most challenging logistical problems of playing on sand: how to mark the pitches without creating playing hazards. They also provided a colourful backdrop and were popular with spectators who found them comfortable to lean on! Deacon Manu announced as Head of Rugby
Excitingly, we welcomed Deacon Manu as our Head of Rugby this season. The club is excited to have such a seasoned and experienced player, mentor and facilitator on board. He is already working tirelessly towards developing a long-term player development plan that will see a streamlined approach to rugby across the club from U6 all the way through to our senior squads. Deacon is supported by an extraordinary group of passionate coaches, tireless managers and positive support, along with a group of players who consistently show ambition, humour and courage.
Teams Report
The men’s senior side fielded teams in both of National League Divisions 2 and 4. This allowed many of our U19s to step up to adult rugby giving them a unique opportunity to learn from more experienced players. Our NL2 team had a memorable season, ultimately losing out to a stronger Hong Kong Scottish side in a hard-fought Grand Final.

男子成人組參與了本年度的社區聯賽第二及第四組別，造 就難得機會讓年輕的U19球員向富有經驗的球員學習。此 外，今季對我們社區聯賽第二組別的球員來特別難忘，他 們在季後總決賽（Grand Finals）激戰勁旅香港蘇格蘭隊， 雖最終落敗，但獲益良多。與以往參加10人賽事有異，本 會女子隊連同香港大學獨角獸隊，首次參加15人的賽事， 期望此舉能夠鼓勵更多人參與欖球活動。 我們的青年隊繼續展現驕人成績，他們的聯賽和季後總 決賽成績數一數二。U13隊在季後總決賽第一組別贏得亞 軍，而U14隊則取得第二組別的冠軍。另外，我們U13也在 吉隆坡撒拉遜人(Saracens)國際10人賽事中捧走銀碗。 U16和U19連同Flying Kukris組隊成了Flying Pirates。U16 在社區聯賽第二組別勝出，我們期待他們日後在U19組別 的表現。值得一提，我們特別祝賀Mikkel Christensen和 Taka Hoshiyama雙雙獲選代表香港出戰在烏拉圭舉行的世 界青年欖球盃(U20 World Rugby Trophy)。

time. This team’s philosophy is to encourage anyone to join in the fun, regardless of experience. Our youth teams fared exceptionally well once again, all finishing as either winners or runners-up in the league or final. The U13s were runners-up in the Division 1 Grand Championship Final, while the U14 Boys won Division 2. Our U13s also brought home the Bowl from the Kuala Lumpur Saracens International 10s. The U16 and U19 Boys teams combined with Flying Kukris to play as the Flying Pirates. The U16s won the Division 2 League, and we are looking forward to many of these boys moving into the U19s next year. Particular congratulations to Mikkel Christensen and Taka Hoshiyama, who represented Hong Kong in the World Rugby U20 Trophy in Uruguay. Our U16 Girls team once again played with distinction, proving that they are formidable opposition with only one loss this season and every player on the team earning selection for the annual New Year’s Day Tournament. Special congratulations to Flo Symonds and Anjalika Ybema, who at just 15, have been selected for the Hong Kong U19 Sevens team for the Sanix World Rugby Youth Tournament in Japan. And not forgetting the youngest members of our club, our minis section this year constituted almost 300 members,
playing across 23 teams. Our U6 to U8 non-contact teams focused on fun rugby while our contact mixed and girls teams significantly improved their tackling, rucking and teamwork this season. Our U12s deserves particular mention with 11 players having been with the club since U6s level. Thirteen of the age grade players were selected, (six girls and seven boys), to play representative rugby and the section captured the Plate at the Richard Hawkes tournament. Seru Fund
The club continues to acknowledge our first Head of Rugby, the late Seru Rabeni. The Rabeni Foundation held a memorial evening, which raised valued funds to begin the building of a Kindergarten in Seru’s hometown in Fiji. Plans are being finalised to send across a building committee to install this Kindergarten over the summer. Thank you
As always, our club could not have achieved as much as they have had it not been for the support of the HKRU. We once again thank them for the energy they bring to Hong Kong rugby.

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
East Kowloon Rugby Football Club The 2016/17 season marked the Club’s 13th season and proved a testing time for East Kowloon RFC as we were forced to shift focus from youth to mini rugby. This change was forced upon us by a sudden contraction in our internal resources involving the training of suitable coaches and the retention of youth players from our previous season, as well as inadequate external support. Ultimately we decided to temporarily suspend our youth program for one season, including not entering any teams into the leagues this season. This was unfortunate as we had participated in the leagues for more than 10 years prior. However, with this stumble aside, we are ready to return to the league next season, as our new school development plan this year met with good success in preparing both boys and girls for the challenge of league rugby. Special thanks once again to the HKRU for their continued support in securing regular use of a Sunday pitch at the Australian International School (AIS) for the Club. During the season, we also had access to the Kowloon Bay Park (soccer) pitch every Thursday night.
In the senior Men’s league, we met all of our NL6 league fixtures, and although we did not win any matches, we had some good success in recruiting new players towards the end of the season, leaving us looking forward to a comeback next season. This season we formalized our relationship with local charity Mission Possible, entering a new cooperative partnership and deepening our relationship which began two years ago. We will partner in potential charity and social responsibility opportunities going forward. We are grateful to our current sponsors for their continued support: SCSC Star Club, Lion Trust, Hang Yik Paper Products, Happily Limited. Men’s National League 6
This year was the eighth season we have participated in the Men’s League. The team had many tough matches this season as the standard of play has improved across all levels in Hong Kong rugby. The boys survived the league season with very few injuries and in general it was a season enjoyed by all of the players.
東九龍欖球會 這份報告標誌著本會的第13個年頭。今年充滿著挑戰，因 為我們從以往專注發展青年欖球轉到專注發展小型欖球。 這決定是由於本會突然被縮減資源，其中包括訓練合適的 教練、用以保留上季年青隊員及外的支援。 我們最後決定暫時將我們青年計劃暫停一季，包括不參與 任何定期青年聯賽。這決擇是無可奈何，皆因我們過去十 年都有參與賽事。然而我們已為下季的定期青年聯賽作好 準備，而於過往一年，我們嶄新的學校發展計劃已取得眾 多佳績，培育出年輕男女隊員出戰下屆比賽。 我們非常感謝香港欖球總會繼續協助我們借用由香港澳洲 國際學校球場作為星期日的定期訓練場地，同樣我們亦在 這季度逢星期四晚使用九龍灣公園足球場訓練。 至於男子成人聯賽方面，本會的一支隊伍取得參與社區聯 賽第六組別的資格。雖然他們沒有贏取任何獎項，但季尾 期間隊伍成功招攬新隊員，展望他們下一季能取得成功。 今季開始，我們和一間非牟利機構Mission Possible合作。 在兩年前我們與此機構已經開始有聯繫，而我們的合作將 包括許多慈善工作和推進社會責任的活動。

Gai Wu Rugby Football Club It was a season of struggle for Gai Wu Rebels, who moved up in the competition from the Championship league to National League 1, this year. Despite the increasing competitive challenge, the Rebels progressed under the coaching of Wesley Feausi and the leadership of some of our overseas players, learning step by step and playing each match with our trademark Gai Wu style. Encouragingly, over the course of the season the team was able to narrow the score differential in its matches. Whilst, the path to be success will never be smooth, we remain committed to enhancing our competitiveness and are confident that we have definitely chosen the right way for the Club to advance.
Similar to the Rebels, our Gai Wu Crusaders played in National League 3 this season, which was a level higher than the previous season after the revisions to the league structure. Instead of opting for an easier competition and playing in National League 4, we chose to play with the upper half of the teams from the competition in the previous season. Although we ultimately did not win a single game, I am proud of every one of my brothers in the team, which stood strong and fought hard in every match throughout the season.

To identify a template for a successful elite Schools and Clubs competition structure - how many teams, how many games, how often do they play, etc. 3. To identify what our current Hong Kong Schools and Clubs look like in terms of programmes and competition structures
From a rugby administration point of view the latter half of the season in particular has been dominated by discussions resulting from a review conducted by former Scottish Rugby coach, Frank Hadden, who had previously spearheaded a similar exercise for the SRU.

That review has undoubtedly been controversial but is nonetheless very welcome. The review process is by no means complete and Clubs and Schools continue to contribute their own ideas to a healthy and vigorous debate. Just about every part of the Colts community has its own views on how boys’ Colts competitions and player development pathways might be improved.
Colts Boys competition involved 53 teams playing in four divisions across four age brackets (including U13s). This season there were 1,050 registered players (Boys and Girls) participating in Hong Kong youth rugby. The divisional sub groups continue to provide the best format for players of all levels. The Boys played between 12-15 matches of fifteens rugby this season.

New Year’s Day 2017: This year was a special year as the 50th anniversary of the tournament was another outstanding day for Youth rugby with fierce competition across all age groups (boys and girls) and some excellent games. Standard Chartered Bank International Youth Tournament: This was again played as a sevens tournament. As usual, it was held at Kings Park on the Thursday before the Hong Kong Sevens. The reduced number of overseas teams participating may have been as a result of the timing of Easter and the Hong Kong Sevens. Standard Chartered Bank Colts Sevens: A competitive preHong Kong Sevens tournament was held at Kings Park and was also used as a Hong Kong Sevens Youth Showcase team selection exercise. Youth Rugby Showcase at the 2017 Hong Kong Sevens: Once again our U14, U16 and U18 Youth players (Girls and Boys) were on display and an enthusiastic early morning crowd appreciated the traditional competitive and high quality rugby in the stadium. Girls and Boys Coaches of the Year:
Congratulations and thanks go to Natasha Olsen-Thorne (Girls Coach of the Year) and Travis Dell (Boys Coach of the Year) who were honoured at the Annual HKRU Dinner on 5th May 2017.

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
Hong Kong Cricket Club Rugby Herbert Smith Freehills HKCC Rugby enjoyed varied success this season. We continued to field five men’s sides every week with teams in the Premiership, NL1, NL3, NL5 and NL6. This year, we also fielded a women’s side in the revamped Women’s National League 1. The 1st XV finished the league campaign in fifth place after a difficult season hampered by an unbelievable amount of injuries. As a result of injuries to Premiership players, we had to bring in Exiles (2nd XV) players to support the Premiership squad on a weekly basis. The end result being that both the 1st and 2nd teams did not have good seasons as they were never at full strength. In NL3, the Livestyle (3rd XV) finished a creditable fourth in the league. In NL5, the Raiders (4th XV) won the league and also successfully navigated their way through to the Grand Final where they came up short in losing to USRC Tigers. In NL6, the Marauders (5th XV) finished their first full season in a creditable seventh place after notching some good wins against more experienced teams.
Herbert Smith Freehills HKCC Ladies rugby side continued to make good progress in the Women’s XV’s league and successfully completed their first full season in the revamped Women’s NL1 competition. There has been a continuation of international honours for our players in both sevens and fifteens formats. Of particular note, Ben Roberts received his first Hong Kong cap in the Cup of Nations in November last year and went on to captain Hong Kong in the Asia Rugby Championship. Dylan Rodgers received his first cap against Japan in the ARC. Herbert Smith Freehills HKCC Rugby has continued to develop strong ties with HKU Sandy Bay. There are currently over 1,000 children and youth playing rugby for Sandy Bay, including the children of many HKCC members. A large number of our 1st XV players and coaches continue to take leading roles in the U19, U16 U14 and U12 programmes at Sandy Bay. This year, we again saw players from the Sandy Bay U19 boys and girls teams make the step up to play for HKCC senior teams during the season.
香港木球會 Herbert Smith Freehills香港木球會本賽季成績不俗。如往 年一樣，每星期均有五支球隊出戰不同組別的賽事，包括 超級聯賽、社區聯賽第一及第三、五及六組別。此外，球 會亦派出女子十五人隊參與新設的女仔社區聯賽第一組別 賽事。 香港木球會1st XV隊在今年2月舉行的聯賽活動中取得第五 名。1st XV隊經歷了艱辛的一季－由於隊中成員相繼受傷， 因此，我們只好每週安排Exiles(2nd XV隊)隊員來頂替受傷 的超級聯賽隊員。故此兩支隊伍無法發揮最佳水平，也無 法保持佳績。 在社區聯賽第三組別中，Livestyle(3 rd XV隊)獲得聯賽第 四。在社區聯賽第五組別中，Raiders (4th XV隊) 勇奪聯賽 第一並晉身總決賽，但卻不幸地敗於USRC三軍會猛虎隊。 在社區聯賽第六組別中，Marauders (5th XV隊) 完成了他們 首個賽季並獲得聯賽第七。

Of particular note was Matt Wyatt, who continues to play regularly in the HKCC 1st XV. The progression of players like Matt from Sandy Bay youth to HKCC senior sides demonstrates that this partnership and coaching is starting to provide results. We would like to thank our sponsor Herbert Smith Freehills for its support this season and look forward to building on this partnership over the foreseeable future.
Graeme Pyott Convenor of Rugby

Hong Kong Disciplined Services Rugby Club Hong Kong Discipline Services Rugby Club (HKDS Rugby Club) was formed in 2015, when members and families of the Police Force, Fire Services, Customs and Excise and Correctional Services joined together to form a Club to compete in the Championship. The newly formed club came very close to winning the League in its inaugural season. It has been another fruitful season in 2016 with the Club being officially accepted as an associate member of the Hong Kong Rugby Union. Subsequently, the Club sent out two teams (one senior and one development) to participate in NL4 and NL5 respectively. The senior team by combining teamwork, passion and grit was able to overcome a mountainous challenge to win NL4. After a difficult start to the season, our development team was able to find its footing, ultimately battling its way to success in winning the NL5 Bowl Final.
香港紀律部隊欖球會 香港紀律部隊欖球會(HKDS Rugby Club)在2015年成立， 出戰冠軍聯賽的球員來自警務處、消防處、海關、懲教 署，以及他們的家庭成員。 這支新組成的球隊首度參戰，便近乎奪標。 2016年度是我們豐收的一季－我們成為香港欖球總會的副 會員。 另外，本會派出兩支球隊(成人隊及發展隊)，參與社區聯賽 第四組別和社區聯賽第五組別的賽事。成人隊憑著他們的 團隊精神，以及對欖球運動的熱愛和堅強毅力，一次又一 次的衝破難關，最後在社區聯賽第四組別奪冠。 發展隊在賽季剛開始的時候遇到些困難，但後來球隊逐漸 適應。最後，我們第二支球隊摘下了社區聯賽第五組別總 決賽碗賽冠軍。 今年，政府飛行服務隊加入本會。期望來年的賽季，我們 可以從香港紀律部隊中招攬更多球員(特別是從未參與過的 部門)，加入本會。

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
Hong Kong Football Club Hong Kong Football Club enjoyed an improved 2016/17 domestic season, with the Club winning three out of the three grand championships finals reached. As usual, Club hosted numerous events, tournaments and tours to create a healthy rugby and social calendar. Once again generously supported by title sponsor Natixis, Club Firsts enjoyed a mixed season with some standout performances alongside a few matches where the team struggled to realise their potential. The team hit its stride after the Christmas break but eventually lost a close game to finalists Kowloon in the Grand Championship play-offs. Club retained the Inter-port Cup, beating Singapore Cricket Club. The first team was captained by Mitch Andrews who was also awarded MVP honours for the season; prop Ronan Donnelly was awarded the ‘Most Improved Player’ award, with newcomer Tom Isaacs picking up the ‘Best and Fairest’ award. The Dragons, playing in NL1, came close to securing a third league title in a row, but were eventually pipped by Valley. However, the Dragons clinched the Grand Championship Cup in a nail biting match in which they beat Valley by one point. The team was coached by Thierry Barrot and captained by Alex Bayliss, with MVP honours going to James Mason.
Scorpions joined the Dragons in NL1 and had a good season, recording some solid wins against the second teams of several other clubs. Coached by Paul Skurr and captained by Conor Cole with MVP honours going to Ryan Matthysen. Select entered a very competitive NL2, battling against a strengthened DB Pirates and HK Scottish IIs. Select were coached by the ever-present Tony George and captained by Rob Hartley, who also won MVP. Bulls entered the 2016/17 Season in NL3, and after struggling early on with player numbers and injuries, finished in a respectable second place behind League winners Typhoons. Unfazed, Bulls grew in strength to take an excellent grand championship win, beating Typhoons in a pulsating final. Captained by Tony Forrester, MVP honours went to Jacob Hung. Despite a wobbly start, Sequins, led by Scott Lindsay, powered to the top end of the table, engaging in a three-way tussle for the league title with Discipline Services and HK Scottish Bravehearts. Discipline Services eventually took the league title, but Sequins’ experience helped them dominate the final and lift the Grand Championship Cup. David Cook captained the team and Stephen Marcon won MVP.
香港足球會 香港足球會在2016/17年度球季的本地賽事錄得進步，在三 場季後總決賽(Grand Championship)中大獲全勝。一如以 往，球會舉辦很多活動、比賽及海外訓練，為社區提供健 康好玩的欖球聯誼活動。
Scorpions隊加入Dragons在社區聯賽第一組別中比賽，度 過精彩球季，在與一些球會的第二隊伍對賽時大獲全勝。 球隊由Paul Skurr出任教練，Conor Cole 任隊長，而「最 有價值球員」則落入Ryan Matthysen之手。
球會今年繼續獲得冠名贊助商Natixis慷慨支持，在本季球 賽中帶來傑出表現，但亦有數場比賽中球員未能完全發揮 潛力。在聖誕假期過後，球隊平穩地發揮實力，但在對九 龍的季後總決賽以些微比數落敗。同一時間，球會擊敗新 加坡板球俱樂部，成功衛冕Inter-port 盃。
Select隊進入競爭非常激烈的社區聯賽第二組別，與實力 增強不少的愉景灣海盜及香港蘇格蘭人欖球會第二隊對 賽。Select繼續由Tony George執教，Rob Hartley為隊 長，他亦同時獲得「最有價值球員」的榮譽。
隊長Mitch Andrews獲得本賽季「最有價值球員」名銜；前 鋒球員Ronan Donnelly獲得「最佳進步球員」獎，而新加 入隊中的Tom Isacs則獲得「最佳及最公平球員」獎。 Dragons隊在社區聯賽第一組別中幾乎能夠達成三連冠，惟 於最後一刻敗於華利，失落獎項。雖然如此，Dragons在季 後總決賽一場非常緊張刺激的賽事中，以一分之差擊敗華 利，勇奪獎盃。該隊由Thierry Barrot擔任教練一職，隊長 為Alex Bayliss，而Jason Mason則獲得「最有價值球員」 的榮譽。
Bulls隊在2016/17賽季進入了社區聯賽第三組別，在季初 受球員人數及傷患影響，僅敗於聯賽冠軍Typhoons，在 組別中獲得第二名。Bulls沒有受聯賽賽果影響，遇強愈 強，並在季後總決賽上演一場令人血脈沸騰的賽事，擊敗 Typhoons奪冠。Tony Forrester是該隊的隊長，「最有價 值球員」獎項則由Jacob Hung獲得。 由Scott Lindsay領導的Sequins隊於季初表現穩定，但在 後期發力，終能與紀律部隊欖球隊及香港蘇格蘭人欖球會 Bravehearts爭奪該組別冠軍名銜。雖然最後由紀律部隊欖 球隊贏得冠軍，不過，整季的比賽經驗，幫助Sequins在季 後總決賽重拾主導，並贏得冠軍。David Cook為球隊的隊 長，Stephen Marcon獲得「最有價值球員」榮銜。

Now in their third year, Expendables delivered a solid season, dropping only a couple of games and bowing out in the semifinals in NL5. Captained once again by Simon Young, MVP honours went to Frederic Guede. 2015/16 saw another year of development and improvement for women’s rugby at HKFC. Having won both the league and grand championship in NL1 last year, Ice was promoted to the Premiership, where playing standards, skills and fitness proved a significant step up. Ice rose to the challenge, improving considerably during the season and finishing fourth in the league. The team also progressed to the semi-finals of the Grand Championship. The side was coached by David Wigley and John Hannon with the Best and Fairest Player award given to Helen Lee. Fire, our second women’s team, also showed significant improvement during the year, moving up to play XVs for the first time, having previously played in the Women’s Development League. This was a challenging transition for the team, but the girls learnt a huge amount and are now better placed to challenge next year. The side was coached by Gloria Cheung and Ed Barker, and the Best and Fairest player award was given to Jamie Ho.
Several HKFC men’s players received national honours, with Jamie Hood and Mike Coverdale being standouts. Another successful season for Colts rugby with 270 boys and girls participating across the age groups with over 20 boys and girls being selected to represent Hong Kong through the various age groups. The U19s won both the League and Grand Championship after only losing one game all season. Five of these boys also played up in the seniors. The hope is next year they will be equally successful and even more boys will make themselves available to play in the seniors. The U16s fielded three teams and were narrowly pipped in both 1st & 2nd Division Grand Championships. The 3rd team won the plate. The U14s won the grand championships in both divisions they played in with head coach Jamie Hood also winning the HKRU coach of the season award. Our U13s also had a very successful first season in Colts and our girls Colts players, although combined with other clubs, also had a very successful season.
HKFC showed good representation at Women’s national level during the year, with Royce Chan playing in the national sevens side, and Claire Forster, Rosie Fong and Aileen Ryan representing Hong Kong in fifteens.
完成第三年的賽事，Expendables隊打出了紥實的一季，他 們只輸了數場比賽，在社區聯賽第五組別則於準決賽中止 步。球隊再次由Simon Young擔任隊長，Frederic Guede 則獲頒「最有價值球員」。 在2015/16賽季，再次見到香港足球會女子欖球的發展與 進步。繼去年在社區聯賽第一組別中贏得聯賽及季後總決 賽冠軍，Ice隊今季晉身超級聯賽，整體賽事的水準、技 術及體能需求均顯著提升。面對這挑戰，Ice在賽季中進 步神速，最終在聯賽排行第四，並進入季後總決賽(Grand Championship)的準決賽。球隊由David Wigley和John Hannon執教，Helen Lee獲得本年度「最佳及最公平球員」 獎。 球會第二球隊Fire亦在今季有顯著進步，他們首次參與十 五人欖球賽。球隊以往是參加女子發展隊聯賽。對球隊而 言，這轉變極具挑戰性，但隊員在過程中獲益不少，為下 一個賽季作好準備。 球隊由Gloria Cheung和Ed Barker擔 任教練，Jamie Ho獲頒「最佳及最公平球員」獎。

Minis enjoyed another wonderful season with over 750 kids participating across all age groups, supported by over 50 coaches. Our Minis tournament continues to set the standard and this year we had 345 teams take part with over 3,500 players playing in 551 games.
The day featured matches ranging from a University alumni challenge (with players from across the domestic rugby scene) to a mini-rugby tournament. We were also fortunate to again host an excellent game between Hong Kong and the Chiefs development side from New Zealand on the afternoon.
The U12 girls capped off a magnificent season by claiming the Kim Lam Cup while our U13 boys narrowly lost in the Richard Hawkes Cup final.
The Club organised the 2017 GFI HKFC Tens, held just before the Hong Kong Sevens. The two-day event, now commonly known as the best tens tournament in the world, was an excellent festival of rugby, with tournament outsiders UBB Gavekal and their squad containing eight Hong Kongbased players and four Fiji Sevens players beating two-time champions Penguins with a last-minute drop kick. It was another excellent tournament and we look forward to next year’s event with great anticipation.
In this year’s KL Saracens International Minis Festival, HKFC featured in five of the six Cup Finals, winning three. It was a superb performance by the touring teams and showed that HKFC is the dominant team to beat across the region. The Taipan’s fixture, first played in 1951 and resurrected in 2011, has been a focal point of the rugby-in-business community.
Touring, as ever, featured prominently this year, with tours to Manila, Phuket and Goa as highlights.
This year saw Mr Kevin Browne’s Challengers XV taking on Mr Kevin Taylor’s Taipan’s XV, producing some exciting rugby and a high scoring and entertaining game. Mr Taylor, AMEA Chairman at BT Group, was very well received as Taipan and hosted a full day of rugby and delivered an entertaining dinner speech to cap the day.
小型欖球隊的賽季亦相當精彩，超過50名教練在不同年齡 組別中培訓逾750人。本會所舉辦的小型欖球錦標賽繼續成 為欖球界標準，今年，共有345隊、合共超過3500名球員 參與551場比賽。

球會在香港國際七人欖球賽前舉辦了2017 GFI香港足球會 十人欖球賽。賽事為期兩日，有最佳世界十人欖球錦標賽 的美譽，亦是一個精彩的欖球節。業餘隊伍UBB Gavekal 由八名以香港作基地的球員及四名斐濟七人欖球賽球員組 成，與兩屆冠軍Penguins對戰，並在最後一刻踢入得分， 贏得比賽。今季精彩的賽事告一段落，我們非常期待明年 比賽再臨。
大班賽首次出現在1951年，並由2011年起復辦，一直為 商業欖球界的焦點。今年，Kevin Browne先生的「挑戰者 十五」(Challenger’s XV)與Kevin Taylor先生的「大班十 五」(Taipan’s XV)對賽，上演了刺激緊湊、高得分而富 娛樂性的賽事。英國電訊集團亞洲、中東及非洲地區主席 Mr Taylor的表現深受好評，他主持了整天的欖球賽事，並 在晚會上發表了具娛樂性的演講作結。當天的比賽包括由 一眾大學校友的挑戰賽 (球員來自香港本地球會) 到小型欖

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
Hong Kong Girls’ Youth Rugby Player numbers for the 2016-17 season were around 93% of the previous year (based on mid-season club registration returns). Again, player numbers fell away in the older age groups both as players move overseas for further education and University, and as they place more emphasis locally on study and other activities. U14s: 139 U16s: 97
U19s: 103 2015-16’s introduction of the Girls’ Youth Championships’ (GYC) structure for U19s proved successful with very positive feedback from players. In 2016-17 U16 player numbers were markedly lower than in the previous season, and a similar GYC structure adopted, while also retaining the GYC structure for U19s. Feedback was again positive as this approach allowed the girls the chance to play meaningful 15 a-side rugby.
The GYC involves regional training and games. Including all clubs, and some local schools, attending HKRU run training sessions which were held in one location, four mixed teams were created with a view to promoting evenly matched, competitive games. This had the added advantage that teams played less familiar opposition, while also bonding with new team mates – part of the very essence of the game’s unrivalled ability to forge strong, lasting friendships. In addition to the GYC, clubs also played U14s’ leagues, which wrapped up at Chinese New Year when the focus turned to 7s. The New Year’s Day Tournament again showed the strength and depth of girls’ rugby (despite lower player numbers) and identified potential National Players. The GYC, and the NAG programme in particular, among the HKRU’s various player development programmes, has clearly helped players improve their understanding of the game while also increasing skill levels.
香港女子青少年欖球 2016-17賽季的球員人數約為上年度的93％（根據賽季中的 球會註冊資料）。一如以往，隨著球員赴海外升學或進入 大學，他們將重心轉移至學習或其他活動；故於較年長的 組別的球員人數比去年下降。 U14:139 U16:97 U19:103 2015-16年度，我們將「女子青年欖球錦標賽」，（Girls’ Youth Championships，GYC）架構帶到U19組別，獲得正 面回響。 本年度，由於U16組別球員數量明顯少於上季， 故我們再次採用類似的架構，同時也保留U19組別的GYC 架構。我們喜見大眾對此的反應同樣正面，該措拖亦讓更 多球員享受15人欖球的樂趣。
GYC架構包括提供地區培訓及比賽。於同一個地點參加香 港欖球總會舉辦的訓練，來自各個球會及一些本地學校的 球員組成四支實力相若的混合球隊，讓賽事富競爭性。另 外，這樣的安排也讓球隊可以與較多不熟悉的對手對賽， 同時與新隊員建立聯結，這亦是欖球比賽的精粹—建立強 大而持久的友誼。 除了GYC，球會在農曆新年時，將焦點轉至7人欖球，並 參與U14聯賽。元旦日少年欖球錦標賽再次體現女青少年 欖球的實力(儘管球員數量較少)，以及讓一些具潛質晉身港 隊的球員初露鋒芒。在香港欖球總會眾多球員發展計劃之 中，GYC及代表隊年齡組別(NAG)計劃，有效幫助球員改 善提升賽事理解度，同時增強其球技及水平。

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
In November, an U18 representative 7s team travelled to Dubai for the inaugural U18s Tournament. We were all extremely impressed by the way the girls played, dominating in their games, and running out winners of the Cup. At the New Year’s Day Tournament, an U16 girl won the Larry Abel Trophy, perhaps the ultimate accolade from the event for an individual player. The HK Sevens’ Youth Showcase games saw girls playing at both the Women’s Sevens at So Kon Po and at the main stadium, again displaying exciting future talent. Next season we hope that all 3 age groups’ NAG squads will play at the main stadium on the Sunday of the HK 7s. The final local event of the season was again the All Girls’ Tournament. With players from the U6 to U19 age groups, this year saw teams from Singapore’s developing girls’ game both attend and win silverware.
去年11月，U18女子七人代表隊遠赴杜拜，參加首個U18七 人欖球賽事。隊員表現令人印象深刻－她們在比賽期間佔 盡主導位置，並贏得盃賽冠軍。 在元旦日青少年欖球錦標賽中，U16組別中一個球員贏得賽 事的個人最高榮譽－Larry Abel 盃。 本年在掃桿埔及香港大球場舉行的女子七人欖球系列賽外 圍賽中，我們的女子球員於香港國際七人欖球賽青少年表 演賽上展現其欖球天賦。展望來季，我們希望全部三個年 齡組別代表隊的球員均可以踩入香港大球場、在香港國際 七人欖球賽星期日賽事登場。 本年度的最後一個本地賽事是「全女子欖球日」(All Girls’ Tournament) ，U6至U19組別球員均有參賽，而本年冠軍 得主是來自新加坡的發展隊隊伍。

HKRU ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17
At the same time, late April saw an U18s representative 7s team travel to Japan for the annual SANIX Tournament. This year saw three girls from the U16 programme invited to join the team (with special exemptions and approvals), a great achievement for the girls selected. Their experience was further capped when one of the girls was nominated MVP by the Hong Kong team. Girls make up around 20% of the overall number of registered players at youth level and we hope that the opportunities now available in sport and rugby and with the increased focus on the girls’ game, this will help grow the numbers further. Finally below are the winners for the U14s 15s league, and various Sevens tournament winners across different age groups.
與此同時，我們的U18代表隊在四月下旬前往日本參加一 年一度的SANIX世界青年欖球錦標賽。今年，三名U16組 別球員獲邀加入代表隊(獲特別豁免及批准)，是她們的一大 成就。值得一提，上述的其中一名球員更獲香港隊提名為 最有價值球員。 現時，女球員約佔青少年級別註冊球員的兩成。我們希望 隨著女子欖球賽事愈受關注，有助進一步增加女子青少年 球員的人數。 最後，以下列出U14、U15組別的聯賽冠軍，以及各年齡組 別於各項七人欖球賽事的獎盃得主。

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
Hong Kong Mini Rugby Football Union The success of mini rugby continued in 2016/17, most notably demonstrated by an 8% year on year growth in the mini rugby girls community. This year’s U9/10 Girls and U11/12 Girls cohorts comprised 24 teams playing consistently across the season’s mini festivals and Kim Lam tournament - a far cry from the 6 teams that played in the HKU Sandy Bay festival in 2009/10! We plan to consolidate this success through the full introduction of the Long Term Pathway Development (LTPD) process to the U9 Girls and U10 Girls age groups, where rugby skills are introduced on an age appropriate step-bystep basis to ensure our mini rugby players are developed progressively and within a safe and structured process. Next season, just like the boys, former U8 Girl players will no longer have to go from non-contact rugby straight into dual age group rugby, involving the full-on contact game of tackling, rucking, and scrumming. The HKMRFU, supported by the HKRU, continues to proactively refine our structures and processes in order to improve player and skills development through gradual adoption of the laws of the game. The success of the LTPD can be seen in the quality of the U12 Richard Hawkes Cup matches where players continue to demonstrate better allround skills than in previous seasons. We also have ambitions to duplicate this in the U12 Girls Kim Lam Cup games.
There are some specific highlights to mention from the season past, the first being the successful rollout of the HKMRFU/ Accenture Festival App. This tool now allows clubs organizing festivals to update users on any changes to schedules with a simple download instead of issuing PDFs to clubs. Users are now able to quickly and easily filter information for their club, age group, and team in order to see their player’s match schedule. Additionally, the App allows the HKMRFU to socialize the mini laws and recognise our current sponsors - Accenture, Tanner De Witt and Armory Mouthguards. Special thanks go to Tanner De Witt for their very generous support to new mini players at the younger age group through their sponsorship of 1,100 balls. This allows new players to take their ball and play rugby at home rather than just at club training sessions. With the continued support and participation of the selfless volunteers who give back to the sport, mini rugby will continue to provide the wide base at the bottom of the player pyramid. The HKMRFU and its volunteers are committed to a thoughtfully managed development process, which we believe will underpin continued accomplishments on the pitch for Hong Kong.
Jim Leung Chairman, HKMRFU
香港小型欖球總會 今年小型欖球發展錄得成功，特別是女子小型欖球球員數 量較去年增加8%。今年U9/10和U11/12女子球員共組成24 支隊伍，在本賽季持續參與各項活動及Kim Lam錦標賽， 相對2009/10年度時只有6隊參與香港大學沙灣徑小型欖球 節(HKU Sandy Bay Festival)賽事相比，規模大相逕庭。 在球員人數不斷增加的基礎上，我們計劃通過在女子U9和 U10 組別中引入長期發展 (LTPD) 計劃，將適齡的欖球技 術一步一步推廣，確保小型欖球球員在安全而有系統的過 程中逐步發展。 下個賽季，如同男子小型欖球，女子U8球員將毋須直接由 非撞式欖球轉玩包含傳統欖球技巧如欄截、Ruck及鬥牛等 的傳統欖球年齡組別。 在香港欖球總會的支持下，香港小型欖球會總會繼續積極 改善架構及程序，務求循序漸進地從球賽規律中提升球員 發展及技術。LTPD 的成功可見於U12 Richard Hawkes 盃賽的質素；相比去季，球員持續地表現出更佳的全面技 術。我們期望在U12女子Kim Lam盃賽中亦能見到相同成果。
值得一提，本年度成功推出香港小型欖球會總會/ Accenture Festival應用程式。這個程式能讓舉辦活動的 欖球球會向使用者提供最新的活動詳情，提供即時更新， 取代以往向友會發放PDF格式文件的做法。程式用家能 更快更易地利用篩選功能選出相關的欖球會、年齡組別 及球隊，以查看賽程。此外，該應用程序允許香港小型 欖球會總會協調有關小型欖球賽例，亦能在此平台上鳴 謝我們的贊助商Accenture、Tanner De Witt和Armory Mouthguards。 特別感謝Tanner De Witt 向新參加小型欖球而年齡較小的 球員慷慨贊助合共1,100個欖球，讓他們可以帶走屬於自 己的欖球，隨時練習，而不局限於在球會訓練時才接觸欖 球。 憑著各義工的無私奉獻、一直以來的支持及參與，小型欖 球將繼續提供廣泛的球員來源。香港小型欖球總會及其義 工致力於實踐經過詳細計劃的發展進程，我們相信能有助 鞏固香港在欖球場上繼續爭取成果。

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
Hong Kong Police Rugby Football Club All three of the Hong Kong Police Rugby Football Club teams enjoyed their seasons and contributed positively, with our women’s team, Sirens, performing particularly well in finishing as runners-up in the National League 2 Community League. With considerable player support being lent to the Disciplined Services team, our remaining men’s teams were renamed as Police 1sts and Panthers. Notwithstanding some ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ with regard to their overall performances during the season, the 1sts finished strongly in National League 5 coming in 4th, whilst the Panthers came in 6th in NL6.
A few noteworthy occasions and fresh events helped mark a busy calendar for not just the teams, but the Club as a whole. On 6 May, the longstanding tradition of pitting the Old Bulls vs the Old Panthers saw the latter secure a solid 38-25 win over their rivals in this historical social fixture. Police’s involvement in the symbolic ‘Taipans’ day was also noteworthy, with a number of police players turning up for Disciplined Services in a very tough game against a well drilled and physically imposing Peoples Liberation Army side. Whilst PLA took the honours, the Club was privileged to have our own Commissioner of Police watching and presenting the winners trophy.
香港警察欖球會 本會三支分隊均享受這個賽季，並得到優異成績，其中以 女子隊Sirens在社區聯賽第二組別取得亞軍最為突出。 隨著相當數量的球員被借調予紀律部隊欖球隊，我們剩下 的男子隊分別易名為Police 1sts及Panthers。儘管在整個 賽季中他們的表現亦有起伏，但Police 1sts仍能在社區聯 賽第五組別中獲得第四名，而Panthers則在社區聯賽第六 組別中排名第六。 本年度有一些值得注意的場合和新設活動，令球隊甚至 整個球會都非常充實－5月6日當天，在有悠久歷史的Old Bulls對Old Panthers友誼賽中，Old Panthers以38比25擊 敗他們熟悉的對手。 另外，數名警隊球員代表紀律部隊欖球隊在一年一度的大 班日(Taipan Day)參賽，與解放軍欖球隊對戰，進行了一場 非常激烈的比賽。雖然最終解放軍欖球隊獲勝，但得警務 署署長撥冗觀賽及頒獎，實在令本會感到十分榮幸。

Hong Kong Schools Rugby Union After another busy season, the Hong Kong Schools Rugby Union has progressed both on and off the field. On the pitch, we saw large improvements in the level of skill and execution from D-grade all the way up to A-grade. This was great to see, as it complemented the work off the pitch in developing a blueprint to progress the sport of rugby in Hong Kong schools.
The Boys C-grade final was a battle between the two top-ofthe-league teams, King George V School and South Island School. After a dominant season, King George V School emerged as victors. Harrow and Hong Kong International School were once again on the scene coming in third and fourth respectively.
Our premier A-grade boys kicked off the season in style with seven schools competing to be the best schools rugby team in Hong Kong. At the end of the league competition, West Island School finished top with South Island School, King George V School and Hong Kong International School chasing them in to the semi finals. South Island School was too strong in the end, beating Hong Kong International School in the final.
The Girls A-grade sevens series showcased the up and coming talent at this level. After a season of interruptions and teams being unable to front up due to other commitments, the finalists were King George V School and West Island School. A tight match saw King George V School finish as the premier girls team in Hong Kong Schools.
The B-grade competition saw four worthy contenders in the semi finals. West Island School, Harrow and Hong Kong International School all had competitive seasons, but it was King George V School that proved to be too good for an up and coming Kellett School in the final.
Heading in to next season, some modifications have been made to promote, develop and maintain player numbers, so we look forward to seeing the impact that has on the future of girls rugby in Hong Kong. Our boys’ development divisions (10/12 a-side) in all grades showed that the smaller schools hold plenty of talent worthy of playing higher-level rugby. It is great to see the enthusiasm of these young players being expressed on the pitch and I’m sure within these grades we will see some future stars.
港校橄欖球聯盟 經過忙碌的一年後，港校橄欖球聯盟在場內場外均有不錯 的進展。在球場上，由D組到A組在欖球技術和執行力方面 均可見巨大進步。我們很高興看到場內場外的工作互相配 合，為香港學界欖球運動訂下發展藍圖。 賽季一開始，我們的精英A組就與其他七間學校競賽，一起 爭取「香港最佳學界欖球隊」榮譽。賽事進入最後階段， 西島中學和南島中學排在首位，而英皇佐治五世學校和香 港國際學校緊隨其後，一同進入準決賽。最後，實力強勁 的南島中學在決賽擊敗香港國際學校。 B組賽事中，我們不得不提準決賽的四強－西島中學、哈羅 香港國際學校、香港國際學校在這季均展現其競爭力，而 哈羅香港國際學校更是脫穎而出，在決賽擊敗啟歷學校。 男子C組決賽可見兩支排首位的聯賽隊伍－英皇佐治五世學 校和南島中學之爭，英皇佐治五世學校在這賽季雄霸所有 賽事；哈羅香港國際學校和香港國際學校再次奪得季軍和 殿軍。
女子A組七人欖球賽事系列讓球員的天分表露無遺。上個 球季可算波折重重，不少球隊因為履行其他職務而未能出 賽，決賽由英皇佐治五世學校大戰南島中學，前者延續球 季主導地位，大獲全勝。展望下個球季，我們已賽行針對 提升球員數目的措施，期待香港女子欖球運動的發展。 在男子發展部(10人/12人)的所有年齡組別中，我們見到規 模較小的學校亦蘊藏很多富潛質的球員，值得加以栽培， 讓他們參與更高組別的欖球賽事。很高興看到這些年輕球 員在球場上所展現的熱誠，我深信他們當中必有不少明日 之星。 縱然今年未能打入決賽，發展欖球部女子B組及C組於過去 數星期展現攝人潛能，加上隨著球員人數增加，爭取決賽 資格必為我們奮鬥的目標。D組學界比賽的最年輕的組別， 一共舉行四場球賽(其中有一周賽事因空氣污染而取消)。賽 事不僅能培育年輕球員，也是很多運動員帶來初次接觸欖 球的契機。我們繼續與香港欖球裁判聯會合作，為我們四 周的比賽提供很有天分的年輕裁判。經過連場激戰，法語 國際學校、愉景灣國際學校及西島中學從三個組別、16間 學校中脫穎而出，躋身前三名。

Our girls’ development rugby at B and C grade also saw some impressive talent on display over the weeks. While no finals were contested this year, this is certainly something to aim for in the future as our numbers grow. The youngest of the schools section is our D grade competition, run over four tournaments (one week cancelled due to air pollution concerns). This is a fantastic weekly tournament that not only develops some of our finest young players, but also is where many of our athletes are introduced to rugby for the very first time. We also saw our partnership with the Hong Kong Referees Association continue, as the association provided talented young referees over the four-week competition. Throughout the tournaments, French International School, Discovery Bay International School, and West Island School came out on top of the 16 schools participating across the three divisions. Off the field, the HKSRU are continuing with the development of the leagues, in particular with girl’s rugby, where player numbers are inconsistent throughout the season. A new structure has been put in place to address this to hopefully see the benefits next year.
球場以外，港校橄欖球聯盟繼續在推廣聯賽賽事。因女子 隊的球員數目整個賽季都呈現不穩定的現象，故我們特別 著重在女子欖球方面進行推廣工作，同時新設架構，期望 下年度情況得以改善。就處理球員或參與欖球學校數目減 少情況，我們參考香港欖球總會就青少年欖球的檢討報 告，並已在學校展開工作，期待成果。在此，我們要感謝 為學界比賽貢獻時間的教練和行政人員們，大家於今季的 付出，讓球員享受到最好的欖球發展機會。

Boys’ rugby will continue to be an emphasis area for all following the HKRU’s review of Youth Rugby, and significant changes will see different schools affected in different ways. A major area of concern will be the drop off in player numbers and schools will be challenged to try and correct this. The many coaches and administrators of the schools game will continue to give many hours of their time to ensure the best opportunities for our players; and we thank them for what they have contributed this season.

Hong Kong Scottish Rugby Football Club Bloomberg Hong Kong Scottish’s first XV capped off a good preseason by winning the 2016 Saigon Tens tournament for a second year in a row while the Nomads defended their plate trophy. The team brought that good form into the regular season by winning five matches on the bounce before Christmas. Bloomberg Hong Kong Scottish went on to finish the league in third place overall. Gregor McNeish was the team’s top scorer with over 100 points thanks to his exceptional kicking game, while captain Kane Boucaut was in fine form, scoring seven tries in ten games as well as picking up the players’ player of the season award. HKS continued to develop its young up and coming talent and during the first year of our “HKS Gap Year” programme Marcus Ramage earned his first cap for Hong Kong versus Zimbabwe.
Marcus, Gregor Ramage, Mark Coebergh, Ken Encarnacion, Austin Robertshaw and Lachlan Oliver-Kerby (dual-registered with DB Pirates) all represented Hong Kong at U20 level and helped the team qualify for the World Rugby Junior Trophy in Uruguay in September 2017. Kyle Sullivan also made his Hong Kong debut versus Japan in May 2017 while Lex Kaleca and Jack Parfitt added to their international appearances by taking part in the 2017 Asian Rugby Championship campaign. The HKS Nomads had a near perfect season, losing only one league match to HKFC. The Nomads won NL2 and the Grand Championship Cup after beating DB Pirates in the final. HKS Bravehearts also had a solid season, missing out on the number two spot in NL4 by a single game. The eventual winners knocked them out of the Grand Championship at the semifinals stage.

The Club’s newest team, HKS Phoenixes, is a development team made up of mainly Chinese University alumni. The side had a tough season winning just three games and losing the NL5 Bowl final. The ladies team, HKS Kukris, also had a mixed bag this season. Some new members gave the team an injection of talent and experience as they went on to finish the season with a five-win, seven-loss record. Off the field, the club hosted numerous events throughout the year but the most successful were the two KPMG Life Member lunches in November 2016 and January 2017, which saw Doddie Weir and Jed Thian entertain the guests with their hilarious stories from years gone by. Proceeds raised from these events will be donated to the HKS Community Programme, to help the club develop rugby in less fortunate areas of both Hong Kong and Vietnam. HKS is proud to partner with The Bill McLaren Foundation, Changing Young Lives Foundation, the Society for Community Organization, Po Leung Kuk orphanage and The Hub Hong Kong, as well as numerous schools in the Shek Kip Mei area where we use sport as a medium to improve English proficiency and promote healthy living.
女子隊Kukris的賽季有苦有甜，一些新球會成員為球隊注入 技術和經驗，以五勝七負的成績完成了賽季。 在球場以外，球會全年舉辦了一連串的活動，其中最成功 的是在2016年11月及2017年1月進行的畢馬威永久會員午 餐聚會。席間Doddie Weir 和Jed Thian 以有趣故事娛樂賓 客。 透過活動所籌得的捐款將投入於本會的社區計劃中，主要 用於在香港及越南弱勢社群地區推廣欖球活動。能夠與不 同慈善團體合作，包括The Bill McLaren Foundation、成長 希望基金會、香港社區組織協會及保良局孤兒院，本會引 以為榮；另亦於香港樂童行和一些石硤尾區內的學校利用 運動作為媒介，提升兒童的英語水平，並推廣健康生活。

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
Hong Kong Society of Rugby Football Union Referees This is my second report as President of the Referee’s Society and what a tremendous year it has been. Indeed, it has not stopped yet, as our referrees remain active with tertiary tournaments still taking place, as well as the Asia Rugby Championship, in which a number of Hong Kong officials are involved both on and off the field. We currently have 97 active referees and with the number of domestic appointments seemingly growing every season, our resources are fully deployed, sometimes stretched, as we fulfil all fixtures, be it on Saturday, Sunday or mid-week.
As the game grows at all levels, we are continuously required to provide officials to cover more than just the man in the middle with the whistle. At the highest levels we need six officials to successfully cover all of the roles a professional game demands. For officials to perform at this high level requires dedication, training and concentration and it is unrealistic to expect high performance at more than one game each day. As a result, certain games will only have a referee, not a referee, two assistant referees, sub bench officials plus a performance reviewer. I understand the desire to have more officials qualified
and available to cover more games and we are working hard to achieve this, but with current resources, I trust players and coaches can appreciate that with a finite source of match officials, not all games will have a full complement of officials. We also provide match officials for a number of tournaments around Asia and such is the standard of our referees that both Asia Rugby and World Rugby have appointed a number of our referees to tournaments world-wide.
Whilst not all can be mentioned here, I would like to highlight the following: Gabriel Lee officiated at the Olympic Games and the Women’s RWC Sevens qualifier; Tim Baker was appointed to a number of World Rugby games: the Women’s 6 Nations, Cup of Nations, American Pacific Cup and has also been named to the panel for the Women’s Rugby World Cup in August; Matt Rodden was selected to officiate at four legs of the World Rugby Sevens Series, (the first ever Hong Kong official so appointed); Stephen Copeman was appointed to his first Asia Rugby Championship game; and we had a number of other officials who were appointed to a number of Asia Rugby matches and tournaments. Congratulations to them all.
香港欖球裁判聯會 這是我作為香港欖球裁判聯會主席撰寫的第二份報告。本 年是豐盛的一年，撰稿期間，比賽還未完結，其中大專錦 標賽及亞洲欖球錦標賽(Asia Rugby Championship)仍在進 行。為數不少的香港代表參與比賽，在場內場外均扮演不 同角色。 本會目前共有97名裁判，本地裁判的任命於每季均有所 長。不論球賽於週六、日或平日舉行，我們亦渴望滿足本 地球賽對裁判的需求。 隨著各個組別的球賽增加，聯會不斷需要提供裁判資源， 這不僅意味要派出一名拿著哨子的裁判，皆因在最高級別 的專業賽事中，需要六名裁判以全面覆蓋比賽時的需要。 要達到如此專業的水平，裁判需要熱誠投入、接受訓練和 精神集中。因此，我們有需要保持每人每日只為一場賽事 擔任裁判。由於這個限制，於一些比賽中，聯會只能提供 一名裁判，而非裁判團隊 (包括一名主裁判、兩名副裁判、 場邊職員及檢閱員)。明暸欖球界希望能有更多合資格裁判 以應付更多賽事，聯會正努力迎合需求，但受制於現有資 源，期望各隊球員及教練理解在有限的裁判人手下，並非 每項賽事均能享有完整的裁判團隊執法。
此外，我們亦為很多亞洲區欖球賽事擔任裁判。隨着裁判 水平亦漸獲肯定，我們有不少會員獲邀為亞洲欖球賽及國 際欖球賽事擔任裁判。 雖然未能將所有例子盡錄，但仍望在此提及一些較矚目的 球賽︰李頴儀(Gabriel) 在里約熱內盧奧運會及女子七人欖 球世界盃外圍賽擔任裁判；貝克(Tim Baker) 為多項世界 欖球賽擔任裁判，包括RBS女子欖球六國賽(Women’s 6 Nations)、超級國家盃(Cup of Nations)、American Pacific Cup和將在八月舉行的女子欖球世界盃﹔麥菲諾(Matt Rodden)在世界七人欖球系列賽四場不同賽事中擔任裁判 (是首位獲得委任的香港裁判)；Stephen Copeman 首次在 亞洲欖球錦標賽擔任裁判；還有很多其他會員獲委任於不 同亞洲區欖球賽事中擔任裁判，實在可喜可賀！ 我們很高興見到在亞洲區欖球賽事任裁判的一些會員，他 們是由會中青少年學院培訓出來，這表現出各人付出的努 力，亦顯示了導師對年輕裁判的培育、輔導及支持。

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
Some of those referees appointed to Asia Rugby tournaments are youngsters from our Junior Academy and this demonstrates just rewards for the very hard work put in by the individuals themselves, plus those who are nurturing, coaching and supporting these young whistle blowers. I would like to make special mention to the contribution of Matt Rodden, who works tirelessly to make sure Hong Kong has a supply of keen, well trained and dedicated young referees whom will hopefully feature more in Asian and possibly World Rugby competition. Special mention must also go to Stan Harmon and all members of the Coaching Advisory Board. I am also very grateful to the members of our Executive Committee who have helped run the Society successfully. I would like to particularly recognise our full time staff, ably led by Hugh Watkins, for all of their efforts and co-ordination throughout the year. Special mention must also go to Hugh for purchasing a number of hi-tech communications at significant cost.
在此，我特別感謝Matt Rodden的貢獻，他努力不懈地確 保香港能有敏銳、訓練有素及全情投入的年輕裁判，希望 在不久的將來能看到他們在亞洲甚至世界欖球賽中擔任裁 判。另外，亦要提到Stan Harmon 及所有教練諮詢委員會 會員的付出。 我要感謝所有執行委員會會員，他們的貢獻令本會得到今 日的成功；由沃特金斯(Hugh Watkins)領導的所有全職工 作人員整年付出的努力和協調；還有Hugh協助購買的高科 技通訊器材。 我亦希望在此公開表揚兩位即將離港的會員︰Les Millard 及 Doug Shearer。兩人無論在香港、亞洲以至國際欖球均有巨 大貢獻，他們的離開實在是本會的一大損失，藉此希望他 們一切順利，並再次感謝他們對聯會的付出。

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
Hong Kong Women’s Rugby The 2016/2017 Season marked a notable occasion for the HKRU with the hosting of three full divisions of teams playing fifteena-side rugby for the first time. A total of 23 teams from 14 clubs participated in the Women’s Domestic League in what was a tremendous step forward for women’s rugby development in Hong Kong. Adding to the historic nature of the previous season was the Hong Kong Women’s National team’s qualification for the Women’s Rugby World Cup in Dublin, Ireland in August 2017, becoming the first Hong Kong national team to qualify for a fifteen-a-side world championship. We congratulate them for this milestone and wish them the very best of success at the World Cup. This Season’s Domestic league featured over 130 matches from late September to mid-February; as well as three rounds of Grand Championship play (25 February - 18 March 2017). A diverse mixture of Clubs swept their various League and Grand Championship titles: Premiership League and Grand Championship:
Societe Generale Valley RFC

Kowloon Rugby Football Club Kowloon Rugby Football Club celebrated its 40th anniversary year with a standout performance by the 1st team, culminating unsurprisingly with Jack Neville being awarded the Hong Kong men’s player of the year and Jim Scaysbrook awarded Hong Kong coach of the year. An outstanding season at Premiership level saw the Club finish second in the league and reach the Grand Championship final; proof that the drive to build a winning culture breeds success.
Several individuals also excelled during the season, with recognition coming in the form of inclusion in the national men’s and women’s sevens and fifteens squads as well as full time positions in the HKRU’s Elite Rugby and age grade programmes. The addition of former England international Olly Barkley to the coaching and playing squad provided the catalyst to elevate the collective and individual levels of professionalism necessary to compete at the top of the modern game in Hong Kong.
Throughout the year, anniversary celebrations were held in England, Canada and Hong Kong to laud past feats both on and off the field. Over the past 40 years, Kowloon has provided many of the great personalities and memories in domestic and international competition. The end of this season saw two of Kowloon’s legends, Brucie and Dooley, calling time on memorable rugby careers - news that was welcomed only by opposing front rows and referees. Throughout the year significant strides were made in progressing our strategic plan. The introduction of a contingent of PLA players into the second team combined with the addition of a summer elementary rugby programme, which added considerable numbers to the men’s and women’s development squads, eventually provided the numbers to register additional teams in both competitions.
九龍欖球會 今年是九龍欖球會成立40週年，確是喜事重重。首先， 本會的第一隊今季表現卓越，而同樣振奮的消息包括Jack Neville 榮獲「年度最佳男子球員」，以及Jim Scaysbrook 榮獲「年度最佳教練」。此外，本會在超級聯賽中勇奪亞 軍及躋身冠軍盃總決賽。可見球會在推動致勝文化之後， 證實獲得成功。 今季，球員的個人表現隨著參與男子社區聯賽，女子七 人賽，十五人賽和全職化參與精英十五人欖球計劃(Elite Rugby Performance) 及年齡組別代表隊(Age Grade) 課程 後顯著提升。 此外，前英國代表隊球員Olly Barkley成為了我們教練和球 員其中的一分子。他的加入促進球會個別及整體的專業發 展，幫助球會於現今香港欖球的頂級賽事中佔一席位。
適逢本年是本會的四十週年，本會在英國、加拿大及香港 舉行各式各樣的慶祝活動。在過往的四十年，九龍欖球會 在本地及國際賽事中留低不少美好足印。在季尾期間，兩 位傑出的九龍欖球會隊員Brucie 和Dooley光榮結束欖球生 涯，讓我們深表惋惜。 過往一年，本會的策略計劃邁進了一大步。我們在第二球 隊加插解放軍欖球隊(PLA)球員，另亦增設暑期初級欖球課 程；後者為男女子發展隊伍引入不少球員，增加出賽隊伍 的數量。 另外，本會於成人欖球組別派出兩支勁旅－Specials和 Beavers。Beavers更在社區聯賽第六組別賽事和季候總決 賽(Grand Championship)中兩次奪盃， 獲取雙重榮譽。從 下季度開始，本會的一些資深球員將專注培育及指導具潛 質的精英球員上。

In senior social grades, the Specials and Beavers both fielded strong teams with the Beavers taking double honors with trophies in the NL6 League and Grand Championship competitions. In the coming season, several of these senior players will turn their attention to developing and mentoring our potential future elite players. Support to our local community has become an integral part of the ethos of the club. In collaboration with our sponsors and HandsOn Hong Kong, numerous groups of children with special needs were given an entertaining introduction to rugby through the Kowloon MVision Community Days. During the season, we ran five community days with the valuable assistance of the HKRU, Renaissance College and Hong Kong International School, culminating in a Community event during the week of the Hong Kong Sevens with the Classic Wallabies at Chater Garden. This summer we will host an event with the South African Consulate General to celebrate Nelson Mandela Day. The 9 Dragons, the charitable arm of Kowloon Rugby Club, continued to expand its impact on youth rugby and the long term development of the game. In 2016, a one-year scholar-

Revolution Sports Recreation Club The 2016/17 Season marked Revolution SRC’s thirteenth year playing in the HKRU domestic league and it proved to be another challenging and enjoyable experience. In the Men’s Division, the club fielded a side in National League 5, which was led by head coach Justin Temara. Although we did not make the desired impact in the league, our young team performed with passion and potential, indicating a bright future ahead. We will continue our strategic push to develop local players and to recruit and invest resources in developing Hong Kong’s young tertiary players. In the Women’s league, this was the third season the club contested the fifteen-a-side Women’s National League 1. Led by coach Gary Tsang, who was named the 2016/17 Women’s Development Coach of the Year, it was an enjoyable and amazing season. The year started with a perfect pre-season training camp in Guangzhou, which improved our physical condition and prepared the side well for the season. The results showed down the stretch as the side advanced to the Grand Championship final, a first for the club at fifteen-a-side level. With this taste of success, we are confident that the women’s team will keep their great team spirit, hard work and determination intact for next season. We are still participating in The Hong Kong Bank Foundation - HKFYG Rugby Summer and Season Training programme, helping to coach and encourage local youth to play rugby.
The programme also provides very good experience and opportunities for our coaches Chu Ting, Steph Chan, Yoyo Ho and Queenie Poon, who enjoy the opportunity to coach at youth level. We are pleased that the number of participants in the programme has increased as a result of the efforts of all of the involved parties over the past few years. We continue to cooperate closely with Shatin Shapei Mini Rugby Club to provide coaching support to their teams from U7 to U9 level and thank our youth coaches, Mani Kan, Chu Ting and Au Wai, for their support. We continue to work hard towards our goal of establishing a Colts team next season. A new touch tournament “Revolution Touch x City 3 was successfully organized on 18 March with the support of the HKRU, HKTA and our local touch rugby community. Blessed with good weather it proved an enjoyable day for the players. We are very proud that both Revolution SRC men and women rugby teams completed the season and played some good rugby along the way. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our senior coaching team of Justin and Gary, and all of our other coaches, for their support and hard working during the season, and are also appreciative of the support from the HKRU, Robbie McRobbie and Ruth Mitchell, in particular.

革命之旅體育遊樂會 這是革命之旅體育遊樂會第十三年參加香港欖球總會舉辦 的本地聯賽，而今年仍是充滿挑戰及愉快經驗的一年。 在Justin Temara總教練的帶領下，男子組別參加了社區聯 賽第五組別。雖然我們在社區聯賽表現未如理想，但年青 的球員們展現了他們的潛力、熱誠和光輝的未來。我們會 繼續培育本地球員、包括召募及投入資源去培訓年青及本 地球員。 女子聯賽方面，這是我們第三季重返女子社區聯賽第一組 別(WNL1)作賽。獲2016-17年度「女子發展教練」Gary Tsang任女子隊的教練，他帶領球隊到廣州參與預賽訓練 營，目的為提高球員水平和作賽前準備。本年是女子隊首 次晉身季後總決賽，球隊度過了愉快又奇妙的一季。我們 深信她們會繼續努力，保持良好團隊精神和決戰的雄心。
我們亦繼續與沙田沙皮小型欖球會合作，為U7至U9少年 提供訓練。感謝青少年教練Mani Kan、Chu Ting則及Au Wai。我們目標是於下一季度建立一支青少年隊伍，並會為 達到這個目標而努力。 在香港欖球總會、香港非撞式欖球總會和本地非撞式欖球 團體的支持下，在3月18日成功舉行「Revolution Touch x City 3」。天公造美，非撞式欖球球員享受了美好的一天。 我們為所有革命之旅體育遊樂會隊伍成功度過了賽季， 並打出精彩的球賽而感到非常自豪，並想藉此機會感謝 Justin、Gary，以及我們的教練團隊為這賽季所付出的 努力及支持；特別感謝香港欖球總會、麥偉彬(Robbie McRobbie)及麥露芙(Ruth Mitchell)的支持。 革命之旅體育遊樂會
另外，我們繼續參與滙豐銀行慈善基金之「香港青年協會 夏季和季度欖球培訓」計劃，教導兒童及青少年玩欖球， 計劃同時也為我們的教練Chu Ting、 Steph Chan、 Yoyo Ho及Queenie Poon提供教導兒童及青少年的機會，他們均 享受這份寶貴的經驗。我們非常高興見到參加者數目逐漸 增加，可見整個團隊一直以來努力得嘗成果。

SCAA Causeway Bay Rugby Football Club A landmark year in the history of the Club saw our membership cross the 500 mark for the first time to reach our highest ever numbers as we continue to draw new rugby enthusiasts from across all age groups and abilities. Our numbers provide a strong talent pool for the club’s five senior men’s and two women’s teams, each of which have completed commendable seasons with varying degrees of success. Our men’s first team, Tempest, gave a solid account of themselves winning a majority of games and finishing strongly in fourth position. It was a year of re-building for Tempest, which recently lost several elder statesmen to retirement, some of whom have returned to their homelands or started families. The side remains competitive in a vibrant league that matches the best amateur rugby players against each other, week in and week out. The team’s successful rebuilding has been in large part thanks to the Club’s Director of Rugby, Sam Pinder, and his crew of hard working coaches. The tragic demise of Hugo Rouille in a road accident in March snatched from the Club’s folds a young, talented player and a wonderful human being. A cheerful and enthusiastic clubman who was always willing to help, Hugo will be missed both on and off the pitch by the rugby community across Hong Kong. Rest in peace, Hugo!
The Club’s women’s section led the awards tally this year with Lammergeier winning both the league and championship titles in NL 2. Congratulations to women’s section head and former Hong Kong international Hoty Chan on her induction into the HKRU Hall of Fame and to Au King To on winning the Women’s Development Player of the year award. Big thanks also go to Hoty and Ocean Chow for their untiring efforts in coaching our women’s section this season. Our Women’s Premiership side Phoenix remained mid-table for the season, battling it out with HKFC for fourth place, but eventually losing out to their old foes by a single point. A number of young Phoenix players enjoyed their first season of Premiership rugby and this bodes well as the team builds for the future. The men’s second team, Pirates, retained a solid core of players from their Grand Championship win the previous season and started the season as serious title contenders. A win over Discipline Services, which eventually took the League and Grand Championship double, showed the team’s strong
南華會銅鑼灣欖球會 今年球會立下了一個里程碑，歷史上會員人數首次達五百 人，證明本會繼續吸引不同年齡及水平的欖球愛好者。球 會是一個人才濟濟的地方，會中五隊成年男子隊及兩隊女 子隊在本年取得不同程度的成功。 男子第一隊Tempest在大部分比賽中勝出，並在其組別中 取得第四名。今年是Tempest重整隊型的一年，主要是數 名資深隊員因退休離港或組織家庭而離隊。雖然如此， 球隊仍然保持水準，在每周與其他業餘欖球員對賽時充 滿活力。球隊重整成功，有賴球會欖球總監沈本德(Sam Pinder)及勤奮的教練團隊。 今年3月發生的一宗交通意外帶走了Hugo Rouille，令本會 損失了一名年輕、有才華及優秀的會員。Hugo開朗熱情、 樂於助人，香港欖球界不論場內場外都會懷念他。Hugo， 望您能夠安息﹗

potential. The team reached the semi finals before bowing out to the eventual champions and finished the campaign with a favourable win-loss ratio. The team now looks for consistency next season as they bounce back from a mid-table finish. Marines, the men’s third team, which mainly comprises of old boys, had an enjoyable season although they could not match their title winning performance of the season prior. The midtable finish was creditable given the huge gulf between the top teams and the rest.
Colts Section
The Club continues to develop and grow its Colts section. Further growth in building playing numbers will focus around a closer relationship with SCAA and schools around the So Kon Po area.
A key focus of the Club to grow the game at grassroots level saw the resumption of our partnership with the old boys from HKiED in the form of Loxi and the continued development of the Contenders. Loxi finished as runners-up, while Contenders were third, in NL7, showing fair amount of promise amongst our new players. Both development teams act as an entry point and development pathway for those new to the game and embarking on senior rugby careers. Contenders finished the season winning half of its matches while Loxi did well to win nine of 12 contests.
男子第三隊Marines主要由舊生組成，雖然今季未能蟬聯 去年的獎項，但仍享受整個賽季。雖然排名在組別中游位 置，但在一個實力懸殊的組別中有此成果已屬不錯。 球會今年其中一個重點項目是在基層發展欖球，成效能見 於與香港教育大學舊生合作的Loxi 和 Contenders的持續發 展。Loxi在其組別中排名第二，而Contenders則在社區聯 賽第七組別排名第三，可見新球員為球隊帶來希望。這兩 個發展隊伍是發展欖球的起點，為新接觸欖球運動的隊員 提供一個途徑，開展他們的欖球事業生涯。Contenders 在 季中的比賽取得一半勝利，而Loxi則在十二場比賽中勝出 九場。 青年隊
球會繼續發展青年隊，隨著參加人數增加，球會希望能專 注於與南華會及掃捍埔附近學校建立更緊密的關係。 小型欖球隊

The mini club membership expanded to over 250 players this season, consistently putting out 13 teams across all age groups at mini festivals. A big thanks to our Mini Chairwoman Carol Slawson and the huge number of volunteers that give up their Sunday afternoons to support and grow the Club. The next season will see our Club have a full complement of teams from U5 through to U12 age grades for the first time. Our U9 and U10 fielded teams in the Tier A competition this season, which we believe makes us the first majority Chinese club to enter top tier competition. We also launched a girl’s rugby program this season with the intent of joining the girls’ rugby competition as opposed to playing mixed sides. Next season we will field our first ever girls’ only U9s team, and as join with other Clubs to form U10-U12 girls’ teams. In short, the Club continues to grow at a healthy pace, led by members of Chinese origin, and will look to add new sections in the coming years. LOOKING AHEAD
The club marks its 30th Anniversary next season and my fellow committee members are leaving no stone unturned to organise a befitting celebration.

球會在下季踏入三十週年，委員會中各成員均不遺餘力， 務求舉辦一個合宜的慶祝活動。我想藉此機會感謝球會的 教練、委員及義工，他們在整季投入時間和精力，讓球會 得以順利運作。

Taipo Dragons Dragon Rugby Football Club Taipo Dragons continued to develop and improve in the 2016/17 Season. The Club continues its efforts to develop both men’s and women’s teams.
Our NL6 team was able to allow more players at beginner level to participate in the game and earn match experience and create a feeder system for development.
Our Women’s teams participated in National League 1 and National League 2. The senior women’s team wrote a new page in our Club history by winning the double in National League 1. Our players, such as Kwong Sau Yan and Chan Tsz Ching, are also emerging on the national level as well. This is a strong encouragement for the women’s side and we will continue to seek opportunities to improve and challenge ourselves in the coming season.
The men’s teams performed well and we hope that they can continue to progress to new heights in the coming season with new joiners being recruited from our adult elementary course this summer.
Executive Committee 2016/17 Taipo Dragon Rugby Football Club
Our Men’s teams participated in National League 4 and National League 6. Our NL4 side ranked sixth this season and responded positively to the higher intensity and more physical games. The season was a valuable learning opportunity for our senior men with the chance to perform in a higher league than ever before.

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
Tin Shui Wai Rugby Football Club The 2016/17 Season was another rebuilding year after the club loaned a number of first team members to higher division clubs to gain experience. Numbers were bolstered by an influx of young blood, particularly in our First and Third Men’s teams. It was pleasing to see that some of these new players came through the Colts system and from the Adult Elementary Course. Women’s 15s
This was a learning season for the women, after progressing from the Tens competition to fifteens, which they found easier to understand than to adapt to. Despite the challenges, a team with a mixture of experienced and beginning players managed to gel and played some beautiful rugby over the course of the season. Under new coach Lau Sze Hong, the team performed well and completed the season with a midtable finish. The season’s Most Improved Players honours went to Tsang Hoi Ling and Man Ka Man. TSWRFC 1st XV
TSWRFC 1st XV played in National League 2 this season. Captained by the experienced David Holmes, the 1st XV were unlucky with some narrow results going against them. Throughout a challenging season, the team played with great
passion and determination - despite fielding many young and inexperienced players. The competition was fierce and extremely close throughout the season, but our run ended at the quarterfinals. Torris Cheung was named the side’s MVP and Fong Kit Fung was named the Most Improved Player of the season. TSWRFC 2nd XV
Our second XV welcomed a new coach in Angus Leung into the set-up and he proved a great addition to TSWRFC. Captained by Leon Lau, TSWRFC 2 played in Community League 5. A steady start to the season saw a mid-table finish before the Christmas break. Constant fluctuations within the squad brought an uphill challenge after the break, and despite some crucial injuries, the 2nd XV put out some fantastic performances approaching the Grand Championships. However, a narrow loss against HKCC in the semi finals stages halted our progression. Cheung Wai Ho and Benjamin Ng Tsz Pan were named MVP and MIP respectively. TSWRFC 3rd XV
After an undefeated run last season, the TSWRFC 3rd XV entered 2016/17 with strong expectations. Led by Brian Wan Chung Yin the team played in Community League 6
天水圍欖球會 2016/17季度，天水圍欖球會繼續重整架構。我們鼓勵眾多 來自不同球會的球員挑戰出賽高一級組別比賽；另外，也 有新血加入球隊。一些來自青少年欖球隊員和成人初級課 程的球員加入本會的男子隊伍(第1及3隊)，為此，我們感到 欣喜。 女子15人欖球隊
今季，女子隊在學習適應由十人隊伍變成十五人隊伍的打 法。幸好，新舊隊員 合作良好， 打了幾場漂亮的賽事。在 新教練Lau Sze Hong帶領下，女子隊的表現良好， 以中 間名次完成今季賽事。我們的「最佳進步球員」榮譽屬於 Tsang Hoi Ling和Ma Ka Man。 天水圍欖球會1st XV
天水圍欖球會1st XV隊參加了社區聯賽第二組別賽事。在 經驗豐富的隊長David Holmes帶領下，成績稍稍未如理 想。雖然年輕隊員經驗不足，但他們充滿熱誠及鬥志，令 賽事競爭非常激烈，分數極為接近，球隊在八強賽中遇上 總決賽得主而無緣晉級決賽。我們的「最有價值球員」屬 於Torris Cheung，而「最佳進步球員」則屬於Fong Kit Fung。

天水圍欖球會2nd XV
我們歡迎新教練Angus Leung加入成為本隊重要成員。2nd XV隊在Leon Lau帶領下參加社區聯賽第五組別，發展平 穩，他們於聖誕假期前取得中間名次。雖然主力球員受傷 令隊伍出現不穩定的因素，但2nd XV 仍有不俗的表現， 我 們預計小休後將面臨更多的挑戰。綜觀球隊表現不錯，惟 球隊在準決賽事遇上香港木球會而無緣晉身決賽。獎項方 面，Cheung Wai Ho 及Ng Tsz Pan 分別獲頒「最有價值球 員」及「最佳進步球員」。 天水圍欖球會3rd XV
天水圍欖球會3rd XV隊對今季抱很大期望，皆因上季他 們有着不敗紀錄。在Brian Wan Chung Yin帶領下參與社 區聯賽第六組別，在聯賽取得亞軍但未能晉身季後總決賽 (Grand Championship)。球隊的佳績全歸功於發展隊隊員 及教練Ivan Chan，我們亦很高興青少年及初級課程為球 隊帶來兵源。我們的「最有價值球員」屬於Chan Ching Pong，而「最佳進步球員」則屬於Tsang Chun Ho。
CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
this season, finishing second in the league, but exiting earlier than expected in the Grand Championship. All credit goes to the development players and coach Ivan Chan. The team’s performance was lifted by an influx of new players from the youth system and elementary course. Chan Ching Pong was our MVP this season while Tsang Chun Ho was awarded MIP.
Sponsorship
Youth Development
We were also happy to partner with BT (HK) Ltd, HKRU and YLDSA to host an invitational touch tournament for Primary school students aged 11-12 in the season past.
Our second season combining with Operation Breakthrough at both U19 and U16 Boy’s level saw steady progress. The two U19 Boy’s teams played in the Division 1 and Division 2 Colts leagues. Our Colts could only field a younger and less experienced side in Division 1 due to age eligibility issues but despite the new blood we finished fourth on the league table. A better performance was recorded in Division 2, where our boys finished at the top of the Division 2B table and faced Flying Kukris in the grand championship final in a losing effort. The U16 Boy’s team was placed in Division 3 since most of the players were inexperienced. Division 3 is not a competitive league but a useful vehicle for youth development with a string of friendly games helping channel players to higher levels. Our numbers fluctuated throughout the season and we target increasing numbers at this age grade ahead of next season.
青少年發展
U19和U16於第二季發展平穩，今年他們參與「奮進計劃」 (Operation Breakthrough)。兩隊U19男子隊參加第一組別 及第二組別。因為要符合年齡規定，第一組別只能派出較 年輕及經驗較少的球員出賽第一組別賽事，但他們也能在 聯賽中奪得第四。我們於第二組別有較佳表現，他們在第 二組別B賽事中得到第一名，惟於季後總決賽中未能奪冠。 因許多U16男子隊員缺乏經驗，我們便安排了他們參加第三 組別賽事。隊伍之間在第三組別競爭比較少，為年輕球員 提供一個良好的發展平台。本年度，球員數目不算穩定， 期望球員數目在下年度有所增長。 贊助商
We are very fortunate to extend our sponsorship with Richards Basmajian and Simon Reid Kay & Associates, who share our vision of developing grassroots rugby. New Partnership
Last but not least, we offer a massive thanks to the administrative and coaching staff, as well as all of the players for their time and effort, on and off the pitch – which contributed to another memorable season. We look forward to the 2017/18 season and the challenges ahead.
Ken Wan Chairman TSWRFC
新合作夥伴
我們很高興與BT (HK) Ltd、香港欖球總會和YLDSA 合作舉 辦了一場11至12歲小學生邀請賽。 最後要感謝我們的行政人員、教練團隊和球員在場外場內 所付出的時間及努力，讓這一季成為令人難忘的一季。 我們期待2016/17賽季的來臨，以及隨之而來的挑戰。

Typhoons Rugby Football Club The 2016/17 Season has been arguably one of the most successful in the history of Typhoons RFC, with the Club growing from strength to strength both on and off the pitch.
again that they can manage the delicate balance of social but competitive rugby. We are very excited to see what is to come from them next season.
Our 1st team saw unprecedented success, not only winning National League 3, but doing so undefeated. It was a monumental effort from the players, who demonstrated a clear step up in the standard of rugby that the ‘Phoons were able to produce. Of course, it couldn’t have been done without the amazing support of our coach, all the guys that put that extra effort in at training and behind the scenes, and of course those loyally cheering us on along the sidelines (including our brilliant WAGs!). Unfortunately we didn’t manage to secure the double, losing the Grand Championship Final to HKFC despite a heroic effort from all involved.
One of our prouder moments of the season saw Coach Jon Keelty receive the Development Coach of the Year award at the HKRU Annual Dinner, an accolade that not only shows how we are developing on the pitch, but more importantly recognizes his outstanding efforts for the Club. What a legend! We must also make special mention of Gabby Lee who has been part of the ‘Phoons family for a number of years and was this year inducted into the HKRU Hall of Fame. Nice one, Gabby!
After a shaky start to the season which saw a string of defeats, our beloved Plan B showed extraordinary heart and Typhoon spirit to bounce back in the manner that they did. Some big wins started rolling in mid-season, which gave the lads the momentum they needed, resulting in a well-deserved spot in the NL4 GC Final. After once again narrowly losing out - but walking off the pitch with their heads held high, Plan B proved
Off the pitch there were the usual shenanigans, including our infamous Christmas party, our dangerous curry nights, oh… and tour. If anyone tries to suggest that four days in Manila for the Manila 10s is a good idea, ignore them - they are lying to you. Our charity work continued as we partnered particularly with the Darkness Into Light campaign, which is close to all of our hearts here in Hong Kong.
颱風欖球會 2016/17年可以說是颱風欖球會有史以來最成功的一年，球 會在場內場外的發展均日益壯大。 球會第一隊伍取得颱風史無前例的成功，以不敗的戰績在 社區聯賽第三組別勝出。這是所有隊員付出龐大努力所得 的成果，顯示眾 Phoons的欖球水平和實力的提升。當然， 這成功亦有賴全力支持隊伍的教練、在訓練出時加倍付出 的球員，還有一班幕後功臣 — 就是在場邊忠誠地為我們打 氣的觀眾(包括來自英格蘭的WAGs)!可惜的是，即使球員 表現英勇，惟仍未能取得雙冠軍，在季後總決賽中敗於香 港足球會。 在季初表現不穩加上連場敗仗，Plan B隊顯示出堅毅無比的 決心和颱風精神，把局勢扭轉，令球隊表現反彈。Plan B 在季中開始取得連場勝利，為球員帶來更多動力，成功打 入社區聯賽第四分組決賽。雖然最後以些微分數落敗，但 球員均為球隊在賽季中的表現而自豪，並再一次證明如何 平衡競爭激烈的欖球賽和友誼，我們非常期待Plan B於下 個季度的賽事。

University Rugby Football Club 2016/2017 was another solid season of rugby for University RFC. The Club is fortunate to have an engaged and committed coaching team and executive to help us stay on course. The Men’s senior sides competed well in NL2 and NL4 under Head Coach Matt Gibbs and Forwards Coach Alex Poole. The Club’s representative “Wizards” side struggled with injuries throughout the season but finished well, with a solid quarter-final victory against what had been its nemesis during the season, Causeway Bay Pirates. That win was followed by a close semi-final loss to a strong Hong Kong Scottish side. The old boys “URFC” side struggled with numbers throughout the NL4 season, but finished well qualifying for the NL4A Grand Championship. The old boys were ousted from the tournament by Hong Kong Scottish on a fine last-second try by Scottish head coach and ex-international Craig Hammond. Fair play, see you next season.
travel to achieve good results on the pitch and excellent progression in skill levels. Momentum for this side has been building year-on-year and with the infusion of new student talent and some “grey hairs” to provide guidance on the pitch, the Club is optimistic for an excellent 2017/2018 campaign. The highlights of the students’ year were the various interuniversity sevens competitions in which the boys participated. Coach Matt Gibbs lent his sevens expertise to the students, whose commitment and high standard of play netted them a fair amount of silverware. Great job boys! The lady “Unicorns” had a resurgent year, galvanized by an excellent recruiting effort by coaches Wilfred Lau and Yu Man Ho in the summer. The team remains a development side slowly gathering a core of experienced players. The Unicorns joined forces with the Discovery Bay Pirates for their fifteens league this year, a partnership that seemed fruitful for both groups of players and one which the Club would be pleased to continue supporting.
The men’s development side “HKU/URFC Freshers” had some excellent performances in their league, overcoming the vagaries of exchange programmes, exams and other student
大學欖球會 2016/2017球會度過了一個充實的賽季，在富責任感及投入 的教練團隊和行政人員的帶領下，本會球隊得以在球場上 衝鋒陷陣。 在主教練Matt Gibbs及前鋒教練Alex Poole，成年男子隊在 社區聯賽第二及第四組別均表現良好。球會代表隊Wizards 在季中雖受球員傷患影響，但仍能在半準決賽中擊敗勁敵 銅鑼灣海盜隊，惜於準決賽中以些微比數敗於香港蘇格蘭 人欖球會。 「大學欖球會舊生隊」去年備受參賽人數不足的壓力，但 仍能獲得社區聯賽第四Ａ組別作賽的參賽資格。惟於與香 港蘇格蘭人欖球會對賽時，該隊的首席教練及前國腳球員 Craig Hammond在球賽完結前一刻成功達陣，致本會出 局。不過，球賽中有勝有負，我們期待下季再會。 男子隊發展隊方面，「香港大學/大學欖球會新生隊」在十 五人賽中表現卓越，成功克服隊員參與交流活動、考試及 外遊等問題，取得良好成績，技術亦同樣有所提升。球隊 發展的動力有賴新人加入時注入技術，以及舊人在球場上 作經驗指導，本會對2017/2018年度的賽季非常樂觀。本年

The Club also helped the HKU women’s rugby team prepare for their inter-university sevens rugby competitions.

USRC Tigers Rugby Football Club The USRC Rugby Section once again had another successful year across all age groups. The Club subcommittee, led by Convener Marco Cassandro, are happy to report that the Section has moved forward on many fronts, both on and off the pitch. The Section, working in partnership with USRC Tigers Rugby Football Club, once again entered teams in all three sections of the Hong Kong Rugby Union’s competitions. Overall, the Rugby Section remains strong. We have seen an increased participation across most divisions, most significantly the Minis and Youth, who dominate the youth rugby scene in Hong Kong across both Boys and Girls rugby.

Membership
It is pleasing to see more and more members and their families ‘crossing over’ between Divisions, in part following the previous formation of the Parents team which allowed parents of minis and youth players to continue their playing careers whilst coaching or managing their kids. We are also pleased to see an ever-increasing number of sons and daughters making the move up to our Senior teams. The USRC Tigers have also this season gained the Elementary Programme run in partnership with the HKRU, which looks at introducing new adult players, both men and women, to the game, so we expect an increase in player numbers next season.

The 2016/17 season saw the handing over of batons as Brett Stewien replaced Andrew Riebe as Chairman, with Andrew leaving Hong Kong for Singapore; whilst Andrew “Ned” Kelly was appointed as head coach for the Societe Generale Premiership Men’s team for his first year as head coach. Kelly took over from Jack Isaac who did a fine job with Valley in the season previous. James Elliot replaced Chris Garvey, who took some time away from coaching, as head coach of our Women’s Premiership side. Valley is very grateful for the contributions of Andrew, Chris and Jack and we wish them well in their future endeavours. Our offseason recruitment was once again of the highest quality with newcomers Doug Fluker, Martin Muller, Karetai Williams and Ruan Du Plooy, all proving excellent fits for the Valley culture and playing style. This, combined with our core stalwarts, made for incredible depth in the squad and put us in a position to realise our goals as achievable, albeit, with a lot of hard work.
The Premiership and Knights squads worked diligently in the off-season, especially in the tight five, under the guidance of our head coach Ned Kelly, Director of Rugby Deano Herewini and Mark Fatialofa. This hard graft seemingly paid dividends, as we were able to get through the first part of the season with wins in the bank. Throughout the season there were many players that led from the front, none more so than our co-captains Matt Rosslee and Tom Broughton, who were both influential in the Club’s success through the year. Both are tireless workers on the field and behind the scenes to ensure we kept on improving. Dayne Jans, Ben Higgins, Grant Kemp and Ben Rimene also all had standout seasons.

戰術，球員的努力成果體現於季初比賽的勝利，可喜可賀。 在賽季中亦有很多球員帶領球隊勇往直前，其中雙隊長 Matt Rosslee及Tom Broughton對球會的成功影響至深。他們 兩人在場外場內努力不倦，確保球會不斷進步。而Dayne Jans、Ben Higgins、Grant Kemp和Ben Rimene在季中均 表現突出。值得一提，球員Alastair Maclay於季內季外皆努 力不懈；在賽季中，他勢如破竹，以有力進攻擊破對手防 線。能夠得到年度「最佳球員」的榮譽，確實非Alastair莫 屬。

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
However, our player of the year award was given to none other than Alastair Maclay, who had a barnstorming season breaking open defences with his authoritative runs. He can attribute his successful year due to his off-season work and the tireless extras he put in through the season. The Premiership team ended up winning the league convincingly enough in the end, although not without a few hiccoughs on the way, with Kowloon beating Valley twice in the league and Tigers drawing against us; however, Valley were able to win the league by eight points and squared the ledger in the Grand Final against Kowloon with a solid performance. The win in the final made it five Grand Championships in a row and repeated the League/Grand Championship double feat, which is something that the Club is very proud of. The Knights had a great season winning the league in their respective competition after winning the last game of the season to secure the title against HKFC Dragons. The Knights were left ruing a narrow loss in the Grand Final as they just missed out on what would have been a well-deserved double. The player of the year was front rower Kieran Coll.
Prem最後在聯賽中勝出，是實至名歸，惟過程並非一帆 風順。聯賽當中，九龍欖球總會兩度擊敗華利，並賽和 三軍會猛虎欖球會；不過，華利在聯賽中仍能以八分優勢 奪冠，並在季後總決賽總決賽擊敗九龍欖球總會，表現穩 扎。此場勝利標誌球會連續五年高舉季後總決賽總決賽的 銀盃，亦再一次獲得聯賽及季後總決賽的雙料冠軍，叫人 自豪。 Knights在本季亦獲得好成績，在最後一場比賽中擊敗 香港足球會Dragon隊，於其組別中得到聯賽冠軍，可惜 在另一項比賽中以些微分數落敗，未能獲得雙料冠軍榮 譽。Kieran Coll為本年度Knights 的年度「最佳球員」。
Congratulations to the men’s players with national honours this season: Alex Ng, Thomas Lamboley, Nick Hewson, Lee Jones, Ben Rimene, Adam Rolston, Edmund Rolston, Yiu Kam-shing, Max Woodward, Toby Fenn, Ben Higgins, Ryan Meacheam, Liam Owens and Matthew Rosslee. The Mavericks had a grafting season under the guidance of Paul Deayton. Spiritually led by Ben Peacock, who was industrious at No.8, the team struggled a wee bit in the forwards and a fluctuating competition, however, they had a great core group of players that worked hard. The Mavericks will be looking to recruit hard next season to more competitive in their respective league.
我要藉此機會恭賀本賽季獲得香港代表隊榮譽的男子隊 員 — Alex Ng、Thomas Lamboley、Nick Hewson、Lee Jones、Ben Rimine、Adam Rolston、Edmund Rolston、Yiu Kam Shing、Max Woodward、Toby Fenn、Ben Higgins、Ryan Meacheam、Liam Owens和 Matthew Rosslee。 Mavericks隊在 Paul Deayton 的指導下過了一個充滿汗水的 賽季。他們在八號位置球員Ben Peacock的精神領導下全力 以赴，縱然前鋒球員及比賽表現仍有波動，但整體而言， 球隊仍擁有一班優秀的核心球員，奮力作戰。Mavericks在 來季將積極招募，令球隊在各聯賽組別中更具競爭力。 在Thibault Legras的指導下，Stallions於競爭非常激烈的 組別中取得第五位，度過一個充實的球季。此隊伍主要由 Valley Fort成員的爸爸組成，旨於向子女們證明他們對欖球 的熱誠和投入。而他們的決心亦於整個賽季中充份展現， 並將於下季繼續努力，力求進步。

HKRU ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17
CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
The Stallions had a great season under the guidance of Thibault Legras, ending up finishing fifth in a very competitive division. The team, made up of mainly Valley Fort dads who go out there to show their sons and daughters that they still have what it takes, showed great desire throughout the season and have a massive drive to continue their improvement next season. The Gauchos had a hard season this year, but still came away with some silverware as NL4B Grand Champions. Once again, and in true Gaucho style, they won the social winners award in flamboyant parts of town after their games. The Club specifically wishes to thank Craig McKenzie our Vice Chairman, as well as the Brothers coaches like Paul Deayton and Thibault Legras for their tireless work in organizing all three teams. The Majai had a fantastic season this year with new coaches Jonathan Mo and Jack Yeung, and after a very successful elementary course last summer, they had a lot of new players in their first season of rugby to work with. The Majai won the NL7 league and established an enormous culture throughout the season. They have retained a core group and will be looking to grow on the successes of this season.
Valley Black Ladies completed another unbeaten season for the third year running, taking the winning streak to over 40 in a row.
Coached proficiently by James Elliot and Sam Feausi, and superbly led by Olivia Coady, (also named HKRU Women’s Player of the year), the Black set the benchmark for the season with many outstanding performances and notable performers. Amelie Seure, Colleen Tjosvold and Adrienne Garvey all gained national honours in sevens and fifteens, whilst this was boosted with fifteens honours for Karen So, Chun Shuk Han and Cheng Ching To. Bella Milo, Laurel Chor and Stephanie Cuvelier had their usual consistently impressive seasons and helped the team come together and play exciting, attacking rugby and to regularly rack up big margins on their opponents. They had a very close encounter against archrivals Gai Wu throughout the season and met them once again in the Grand Final, which topped off a fantastic season with a crowd-pleasing showcase match for women’s rugby in Hong Kong.
Gauchos今年賽季經歷比較艱辛，但仍能在「季後總準 賽」（Grand Championship）社區聯賽中四B組別取得獎牌。 賽後一眾Gauchos隊員一如以往，在這個喧鬧華麗的城市 慶祝一番，球隊更因而贏得友誼獎。球會特別鳴謝副主席 Craig McKenzie、Brothers教練們Paul Deayton及Thibault Legras努力不懈，為會中三支隊伍付出。 Majai今年於新教練Jonathan Mo和Jack Yeung的教鞭之 下，度過了一個精彩的球季。另外，球隊於夏季亦舉辦一 個初階課程，錄得大成功，不少參加者均於球季粉墨登 場。Majai今年在社區聯賽第七組別中勝出，並於球季中孕 育出其欖球文化；隊中核心球員萬眾一心，期望球隊於今 季能夠更進一步。 華利Black Ladies連續三年保持不敗紀錄，並創出40場連 勝紀錄。在教練James Elliot 和 Sam Feausi 的純熟指導， 以及Olivia Coady (獲香港欖球總會年度「最佳女子球員」 獎項) 的帶領下，Black Ladies的出眾成績，以及陣中讓人 印象深刻的隊員，為今季水平訂下更高基準。值得一提， 隊中Amelie Seure、Colleen Tjosvold 和Adrienne Garvey 獲選香港七人欖球代表隊；而Karen So、Chun Shuk Han 和C heng Ching To 則獲 選香 港十五 人欖 球代 表隊。另

CLUBS’ REPORTS – 球會報告
Valley Red Ladies also had a promising season, coached by Bela Milo and Charles Cheuk, working with many girls in their first season of rugby. They trained and played very hard and demonstrated a fantastic team spirit throughout the campaign. It is a pleasure to see the club thriving as it is, but this is down to the many individuals that work hard for each other and want to see the club thrive. I would like to thank all of the coaches, administrators, volunteers and players for their tireless work with the teams. Their hard work is reflected in the Club’s tremendous results.
Nicholas Hewson General Manager Valley RFC
外，Bella Milo, Laurel Chor 和 Stephanie Cuvelier 一如既 往發揮水準、凝聚隊員，打出一場又一場令人興奮、具攻 擊力的欖球賽，並以大比數拋離對手。球隊整季與勁敵雞 糊處於拉鋸狀態，在季後總決賽的對賽難分難解，最終獲 得勝利，為賽季劃上完美句號，為香港女子欖球界作出一 次精彩表演賽。 Red Ladies 有一個充滿希望的賽季，由Bella Milo 和 Charles Cheuk 擔任教練，球隊今年有很多新血加入。她 們在訓練及比賽時非常落力，極具團隊精神。我很高興看 到球會蓬勃發展，這歸功於每個會員的努力及付出，讓球 會茁壯成長。感謝所有教練、行政人員、義工及球員孜孜 不倦，他們的努力都反映在球會今年的優越成績上。

HONG KONG RUGBY UNION (Incorporated in Hong Kong and limited by guarantee)
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS The directors submit their report together with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30th April 2017. Principal activity The Group’s principal activity is the support, promotion and development of rugby in Hong Kong. Results and appropriations The results of the Group for the year ended 30th April 2017 are set out in the consolidated income statement on page 136. Funds Movements in the funds of the Group during the year are set out in the consolidated statement of changes in equity on page 138. Donations Charitable donations made by the Group during the year amounted to HK$ 774,180 (2016: HK$1,512,811). Directors (a) Directors of the Company The directors of the Company during the year and up to the date of this report were:
Mr P Schats Mr P Donovan Mrs R Mitchell (Resigned on 28th July 2016) Mr A Bailey (Resigned on 28th July 2016) Mr K Au (Resigned on 28th July 2016) Mr C Everaert Mrs K Lam Mr F Au Mr K Taylor Mr P White Mr C Brooke (Appointed on 28th July 2016) Mr J Carroll (Appointed on 28th July 2016) Ms K Boreham (Appointed on 28th July 2016) In accordance with Article 12.5(b)(v) of the Articles of Association, all directors retire and any eligible person shall hold office and may stand for re-election.

HKRU ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17
(b) Directors of the Company’s subsidiaries During the year and up to the date of this report, Mr P Schats, Mr P Donovan, Mrs R Mitchell, Mr A Bailey were also directors of the Company’s subsidiaries. Directors’ material interests in transactions, arrangements and contracts that are significant in relation to the Group’s business No transactions, arrangements and contracts of significance in relation to the Group’s business to which the Company or its subsidiaries was a party and in which a director of the Company had a material interest, whether directly or indirectly, subsisted at the end of the year or at any time during the year. Directors’ interests in the shares and debentures of the Company or any specified undertaking of the Company At no time during the year was the Company or its subsidiaries a party to any arrangements to enable the directors of the Company to hold any interests in the shares or debentures of the Company or its specified undertakings. Business review The Group has achieved a net surplus before tax of HK$0.3 million which is a positive result. The biggest risk facing the Group remains its reliance on the annual Hong Kong Sevens event to fund its principal activity which is the promotion and development of rugby in Hong Kong. There have been no significant subsequent events which materially affect the financial result of the Group. The Group expects to record a loss in the next financial year owing to significant investment in the promotion and development of rugby in Hong Kong which is planned to take place. The Group will continue to seek to drive revenue in order to allow this investment to continue. The Group has complied with all applicable laws and regulations during the year. The Group’s success depends on some key relationships for a significant proportion of its income, particularly those relating to the Hong Kong Sevens and the governing body for Rugby, World Rugby.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HONG KONG RUGBY UNION (Incorporated in Hong Kong and limited by guarantee)
Opinion What we have audited The consolidated financial statements of Hong Kong Rugby Union (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) set out on pages 131 to 162, which comprise: • the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30th April 2017; • the consolidated income statement for the year then ended; • the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended; • the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended; • the consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended; and • the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies. Our opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30th April 2017, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (“HKSAs”) issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
133
HKRU ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17
Other Information The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Report of the Directors, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of Directors and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 香港欖球 2016/17
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HONG KONG RUGBY UNION (Incorporated in Hong Kong and limited by guarantee)
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with Section 405 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. PricewaterhouseCoopers Certified Public Accountants Hong Kong, 30th June 2017
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 香港欖球 2016/17
HONG KONG RUGBY UNION (Incorporated in Hong Kong and limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1 General information Hong Kong Rugby Union (the “Company”) and along with its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) are engaged in the support, promotion and development of rugby in Hong Kong.
The Company was incorporated in Hong Kong on 30th April 1990 and is limited by guarantee. Permission has been granted by the Companies Registrar for the Company to exclude the word “Limited” from its name.
The address of the Company’s registered office is Room 2001, Olympic House, 1 Stadium Path, So Kon Po, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
On 1st May 1990, the Company took over the assets, liabilities and reserve funds of its predecessor entity, Hong Kong Rugby Football Union which was registered as a society.
The consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 30th June 2017.
2 Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. (a) Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and financial liabilities (including availablefor-sale financial assets) at fair value.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with HKFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in Note 4.
(b) Changes in accounting policies As at the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, there are new standards and amendments and interpretations to existing standards which have been issued by the HKICPA. Some are already effective for the year ended 30th April 2017 and some are not yet effective. Management has performed an assessment of those new standards and amendments and interpretations to existing standards and consider that they are not relevant to the Group’s operations.
(i) Amendments effective in 2016 which are relevant to the Company’s operations: Amendments to HKAS1 Disclosure Initiative: Presentation of Financial Statements Amendments to HKAS16 and HKAS38 Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation Annual improvements to HKFRS’s 2012-2014 Cycle The adoption of the above amendments does not have a significant effect on the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures.
(ii) income and expenses for each income statements are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
(iii) New standards and amendments effective after 2016 which are relevant to the Company’s operations and yet to be adopted:
Certain new standards and amendments, which are effective after 2016, have been published and will be adopted by the Company from their effective dates. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of these standards and amendments but expects their adoption will not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements except as set out below.

HONG KONG RUGBY UNION (Incorporated in Hong Kong and limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
HKFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018), establishes a comprehensive framework for determining when to recognise revenue and how much revenue to recognise. HKFRS 15 replaces HKAS 11 ‘Construction Contracts’ and HKAS 18 ‘Revenue’ which covers contracts for goods and services. The core principle in that framework is that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. The new standard will also result in new disclosure requirements on revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The Company is still assessing the impact of the new rules on the Company’s financial statements.
HKFRS 16 ‘Leases’ (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019) replaces HKAS 17 ‘Leases’; and related interpretations. It will result in lessees bringing almost all their leases onto the balance sheet as the distinction between operating leases and finance leases is removed. The model requires a lessee to recognise a right-of- use asset (the right to use the underlying leased asset) and a lease liability (the obligation to make lease payments) except for leases with a term of less than 12 months or with low-value. The accounting for lessors will not change significantly. HKFRS 16 will affect primarily the accounting for the Company’s operating leases. The Company is yet to undertake a detailed assessment on how the new lease model will affect the Company’s profit, classification of cash flows and balance sheet position.
(c) Comparatives Certain comparative figures of the consolidated income statement, and notes to the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the Group’s total equity as at both 30 April 2017 and 2016, or on the Group’s surplus and net change in cash and cash equivalents for the years ended 30 April 2017 and 2016. (d) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to the statement of financial position date on the basis set out in Note 2(e) below. (e) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities over which the group has control. The Company controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights, to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
Investments in subsidiary companies in the Company’s financial statements are stated at cost less provision for any impairment losses. Income from subsidiary companies is accounted for on the basis of dividends received and receivable. Long term loans to subsidiary companies are considered to be quasi-equity in nature where there are no defined repayment terms and no expectation of repayment.
(f) Separate financial statements Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable.
141
Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (g) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are expensed in the consolidated income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives set out below:
Leasehold buildings 5 years Leasehold improvements 5 years Artificial field 5 years Facilities equipment 5 years Other assets 3 years
The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset and is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
(h) Intangible assets Computer software
Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
• it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use;
• there is an ability to use or sell the software product;
• management intends to complete the software product so that it will be available for use;
• it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits;
• adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software product are available; and • the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.
Computer software development costs recognised as assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives, which does not exceed three years.
(i) Impairment of assets The Group reviews the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, and available-for-sale financial assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Such impairment losses are recognised in the consolidated income statement for fixed assets and available-for-sale financial assets to the extent all previous unrealised gains or losses recorded in equity are reversed. (j) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months of the end of the reporting period.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (k) Trade receivables, other receivables and prepayments Trade receivables, other receivables and prepayments are recognised at fair value less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the consolidated income statement. (l) Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, restricted deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. (m) Deferred taxation Deferred taxation is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred taxation is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable surplus will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
(n) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. (o) Revenue recognition Revenue from the sale of tickets and merchandise is recognised on the day of the event and when the goods are delivered to customers respectively. Hospitality and sponsorship income is recognised on the day of the associated event.
Royalty fees, coaching income, and other income are recognised on an accruals basis, when it can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group.
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, using the effective interest method.
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
(p) Subventions Subventions from the government and sporting governing bodies are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the subventions will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
These subventions are recognised in the consolidated income statement over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Subventions are presented in the consolidated income statement as deductions against the related expenses. General subventions where there are no specific expenditure requirements are presented separately as “other income”.
(q) Foreign currency translation (1) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in HK$, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(2) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated income statement.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated income statement.
(3) Group companies The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(i) assets and liabilities for each statements of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statements of financial position;
(ii) income and expenses for each income statements are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
(iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
(r) Operating leases Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (s) Employee benefits (1) Retirement benefits
The Group operates and participates in a defined contribution retirement scheme, the INVESCO Strategic Mandatory Provident Fund scheme. The assets of this scheme are held in a separate trustee administered fund. The pension plan is funded by payments from employees and by the Group and provides benefits linked to the contribution and investment returns made on the plan. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to this defined contribution plan are recognised as an expense in the consolidated income statement in the year in which they are incurred and are reduced by contributions forfeited by those employees who leave the scheme prior to full vesting of their contributions.
(2) Employee leave entitlement
Provisions are made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long service leave entitlements as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.
(t) Related parties Related parties are individuals and companies, where the individual or company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control. 3 Financial risk management (a) Financial risk factors The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risks), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance as a result of these risks.

Financial risk management (continued)
(1) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of its holding of time deposits denominated in US dollars. Since the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar within a range of HK$7.75-7.85: US$1, the Group does not consider the foreign exchange risk to be significant and therefore no further measures are taken to reduce this risk.
At 30th April 2017, if the HK Dollar had weakened to the minimum of the range (HK$7.85: US$1) with all other variables held constant, the money market funds would have been HK$55,996 (2016: HK$1,043,774) lower.
If the HK Dollar had strengthened to the maximum of the range (HK$7.75: US$1) with all other variables held constant, the money market funds would have been HK$21,776 (2016: HK$89,578) lower.
(ii) Price risk
The Group is exposed to equity and debt securities price risk because investments held by the Group are disclosed on the consolidated statement of financial position as available-for-sale. The funds are managed by an Investment Committee who have a mandate to maintain and if possible enhance the principal investment value of the portfolios whilst keeping risks to an acceptable minimum. The Committee reports to the Board of Directors and meets with its Fund managers on a quarterly basis.
The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases of the investment unit prices on the Group’s portfolios and on equity. The analysis is based on the assumption that the unit price increases/decreases by the respective percentages indicated below with all other variables held constant.

Financial risk management (continued)
The Group has used its view of what would be a reasonable shift in each key investment unit price to estimate the change for use in the market sensitivity analysis above. The disclosures are shown in absolute terms, changes and impacts could be positive or negative. Changes in % movement in unit values are revised annually depending on the Group’s current view of market volatility and other relevant factors.
The Group has interest-bearing assets in the form of cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits. As the Group has no long-term borrowings or loans, the Group’s operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The risks in relation to cash flow and fair value interest rate risk are therefore not deemed to be significant.
(2) Credit risk
Credit risks arise from cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale financial assets and outstanding receivable balances at the year end.
The Group minimises its credit risk in relation to receivables through the sale of tickets and merchandise to a widely dispersed customer base. Any exposure to individual organisations will be through significant sponsorship deals with reputable organisations.
For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted. For available-for-sale financial assets, the risk is managed through the use of reputable fund managers and by the Investment Committee.
(3) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash to meet the commitments and obligations of the Group.
The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date.

(4) Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to be commercially and financially sound, able to provide the financial resources necessary to achieve the Strategic Plan and to safeguard the Group’s activities into the future. Capital of the Group is considered to be the General fund and Investment revaluation reserve fund.
(5) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities There is no material offsetting, enforceable master netting arrangement and similar agreements during the year. (b) Fair value estimation
Effective 1 January 2009, the Group adopted the amendment to HKFRS 7 for financial instruments that are measured in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value, this requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
• Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices);

Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Group makes estimates and judgements concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will by definition seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
(a) Depreciation
The Group depreciates property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. The estimated useful life reflects management’s best estimate of the period that the Group intends to derive future economic benefits from the use of the property, plant and equipment. To the extent the useful economic useful life changes the resultant depreciation in the consolidated income statement will be increased or decreased.
(b) Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets
The Group follows the guidance of HKAS 39 to determine when an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired. This determination requires significant judgements. In making this judgement, the Group evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost.
