EdUHK Pitch Update
Currently all looking really good and should be ready for the start of next season. We will have much better surfaces to train and play on, with rugby markings and posts on the new Astro pitch. This will also provide a local venue for our kids to play competitive matches and watch other rugby fixtures.
With the early start of ESF schools around 14th August, we plan to start kit distribution and a "soft start" of Sunday training (with clinics etc rather than age group training) during August. We may also "christen" the new Astro pitch with a 28th Squadron match to entertain everyone concerned.
For the start of next season (approx 15th August) we currently have the options of Grass and Astro on Sunday mornings and possibly Astro some Sunday afternoons. We also have Astro available on Wednesday evenings for mid-week training.
The new Astro uses “EPDM” infill granules which are not only virgin rubber (rather than recycled tyres etc) but won't get so hot. The grass pitch is currently having new drainage and irrigation pipes installed and will be re-turfed.
Level 1 Referee courses
The HKRU have confirmed dates for Level 1 Referee courses as 30th July (Cantonese), 19th August (English) and 26th August (English).
All coaches, parents and players are encouraged to attend Level 1 Referee courses before the start of next season. Anyone over the age of 14 can attend the Level 1 Referee course if they would like to improve their skills in this area and contribute more to giving players a fair go on the pitch.
Those interested should contact David, Shelley or Joe to sign up. Alternatively, they can contact Matt Rodden directly at [email protected]
Prerequisites are completion of Rugby Ready and Laws test on World Rugby (www.worldrugby.org) which everyone is encouraged to complete anyway. The Club will reimburse the fee on production of their Level 1 Referee certificate.
Jim Hamilton and Andy Goode will be guest speakers at the Lunch, Legends & Lions event on Saturday 17 June 2017 at the Kerry Hotel. This will be a buffet lunch event with free flow of beer and wine throughout. The lunch is followed by the Live viewing of the Maori All Blacks vs. British and Irish Lions Match at 3:30pm. Both Jim and Andy are representing the RugbyPass.com Podcast to NZ throughout the Lion Tour and it should be some exciting banter from both on their thoughts about the upcoming Lions tour. I believe It will be a fantastic get together for the rugby community. For more information and ticket purchase to the event, please click this link.
In additional to the event, there will also be a lucky draw on 31 May for all the early bird enrolees; and the prize is a pair of match tickets to the 1st Test between the All Blacks and Lions at Eden Park, on 24 June 2017. More reason to get in early!

We would like to welcome Steve Power who has voluntered for the position of Secretary and Andrea Lai has volunteered for the position of Membership Secretary.
The new Committee can be seen here on the Committee page.
The AGM photos can be seen here in our photo gallery.

HKS Kukris Ladies played USRC Tigers.in the WNL1 Grand Champ quarter final on the 25th Feb 17 Kukris won 26/5. For the full match report click here. The sharp eyed might notice the U16G's Coach, Tom in the middle of the photo. Coach Tom also helps to train the HKS Kukris Ladies Team.
Following on from the HKS Kukris Ladies team win, Round Two of the U19 Girls 7's Tournament on the 26th Mar. saw the combined might of Sai Kung Stingrays and USRC Tigers loose 10 to 7 to the Flying Kukris in the Cup Final - well done Ladies!
Parking at HKIEd - we have received complaints from the EdUHK management about the parking on Sundays. We are NOT ALLOWED to park along the side of the road next to the stadium and also DO NOT block the lower exit. The lower exit is normally closed but is for emergency vehicles. Failure to obey HKIED rules may result in us loosing the ground for training. Please see the map below and note there is additional parking just down the road outside HKIED.
To relieve the parking problem at EdUHK, please use the TSW / Tuen Mun bus or Tai Po bus if possible. These buses are heavily subsidised by the club to encourage their use. If they are not used, we may have to cancel them.
Support HK Scottish as part of their Ball Retrieval Team
As the junior club for HKS, Flying Kukris players in age groups U11 upwards, have the opportunity to support HKS through the Premiership season, by joining the ball retrieval team for their home matches.
HKS require 8 FK players for ball retrieval per game. Ball retrievers will receive a Hong Kong Scottish T-shirt for the first match and $50 per game. Although not guaranteed it will work the same way this year, four Flying Kukris members of the HKS ball retrieval team, were selected for ball retrieval duties at the HK Sevens, for the last six years. The HK Sevens ball retrieval team have free access to the stadium, meal allowance, souvenir rugby ball and can meet the players.
If you are interested in joining the ball retrieval team, email me at [email protected] to let me know (Do not just turn up on the day). I will then contact you later to arrange availability. For more details on dates etc. please click here
