Flying Kukris RFC

This Sunday, 22nd Oct. we have the use of the Grass and Astro pitches at EdUHK (HKIEd).

To give our players more pitch space, Minis will train from  9am to 10:30am with the U6 - U9 groups on the Astro and the U10 - U12 on the Grrass pitch.

For this Sunday we have

A Reminder:- Training will be cancelled for T8 or Black Rainstorm warning. A notice will be displayed on the website if the training is cancelled for this or any other reason.

Training is ON in a T3 or Amber rain warning - we will just get a little wet.

This is in line with guidance provided by the HKRU. 

BUSES FOR THIS SUNDAY!  . As the 65 seater for the Minis is unavailable this Sunday, there will be two smaller buses coming to Tai Po market to pick up - they should arrive together. Please note, the bus times are the same as last weekend

Due to the split training of Minis (9 to 10:30) and Colts (10:30 to 12) and the need to have buses for both, we will use the bus schedule as below. The route, starting at Tin Shui Wai will include Gold Coast, Tsuen Wan and Tai Po Market.

To arrive at EdUHK for the training start times, we must keep to the schedule.

Please ensure you are at the pickup points early.

Using one bus for both the Gold Coast route and the Tai Po market route will make a considerable saving and compensate for the cost of having the extra bus runs.

The fare for using the bus will be $10 per person (single journey) $20 return

Kit collection WILL be available this Sunday from 9:30 to 11am for any player not willing or able to use last season's kit.   This may include:

• --- players who have grown out of or lost their kit from last season;
• --- players moving from Minis (U12) to Colts (U13/U14);
• --- players in U14G, U16G and U19G who may collect a new girls slim fit kit.

All other players will be entitled to obtain new kit at any time during this season after this Sunday as and when they need it.  However, please note that the kit design is identical to last season so members can reduce waste and costs of the kit to the Club by continuing to use existing kit until it needs replacing.  The cost savings will be reinvested in providing other rugby facilities, equipment and development opportunities for players.

The kit design is the same as last season.

Training/sports shirts and singlets MAY be on sale this Sunday and a limited amount of new casual FK polo shirts.

Please note the new Membership fee for the 2017/18 season is $850 for the first player and $650 for each additional player.

 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.

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
