December 16th v HKFC
round 10
Round 10 brings us another evening of Friday night fixtures as both our Mens Premiership and Valley Knights team will be playing Hong Kong Football Club at Kings Park Sports Ground.
Having come off a resounding win over Tigers last week, our Men's Premiership are starting to build back to their winning ways and will be putting on a solid fight in what will be a cold and wet evening at the home of Hong Kong rugby.
The Valley Knights team are currently looking like the team to beat in the Premiership A team and this Round will be a top of the table clash for the men.
The only Community game this week will see the Valley Reds, who are on a remarkable run of wins this season take on HKFC Ice. The Reds have confirmed their place in the Championship League split and will play in the Championship A division after Christmas. This guarantees them as a Championship team for 2023/2024 season.

Valley Reds
Captained by nifty scrumhalf Au Shuwan, the Valley Reds have had a phenomenal start to the season with 5 wins so far and find themselves sitting 2nd on the Women's Championship table, behind the Hong Kong Scottish Womens 1st team
This top half placing in the Womens Championship, guarantees them a spot in the Womens Championship A division as the 9 team league looks to split in the new year, with the top 5 teams forming the Championship A division and the bottom four teams forming the Championship B division.
Placement in the Womens Championship A division guarantees the team a place in the Womens Championship league for the 2023/24 season.
Captained by nifty scrumhalf Au Shuwan, the team have found their rhythm and are a great mix of experienced players such as Deena, Kim and Anita, as well as players who have transitioned from youth rugby - Ella, Bridget, Sofia and Sylvia. Shoutout to Katie, who first touched a rugby ball 6 months ago and now finds herself a regular starter as a prop in the team.
