Fellow Kukris,
As we come to the end of the year the pace of the rugby season shows no sign of letting up!
We have just completed a highly successful Minis Contact Festival and have a mini mini festival to follow on Sunday 18th December. This format for our festival has broken the mold of mini festivals in HK and again FK leads the way. As a club we have been able to show others that it is possible to provide a good rugby experience to the contact age groups with larger pitch sizes, longer game times and more games.
I would like to congratulate all the players who took part in the festival and to thank all the organisers for a job well done; I have heard a lot of very positive comments back from other clubs.
I would also like to congratulate the U11/12 Girls team who did us proud and won the plate and allow us to keep one of the 25th Anniversary trophies. This will be displayed pride of place in the trophy cabinet in the Generals Arms HLY. Well done everyone & well done U11/12 girls.
The mini mini festival on the 18th will also feature more games and larger pitches and I hope we have a great show of contact age group members to support their younger club members.
As everyone should be aware the Minis section of Flying Kukris RFC is 25 years old this season and although the Flying Kukris RFC as a club is much older we are celebrating our 25th anniversary as a minis / youth club with a dinner at HLY Country Club Generals Arms this Friday from 7pm. If you wish to attend please contact Tymon Mellor. Hyatt Shatin have put up some fantastic prizes for the event including: One night stay in a Regency Suite for two persons valued at over HK$5k, Melo Spa for two persons, Pool Bar BBQ dinner for 4 persons, Café dinner buffet for two, Tin Tin Bar drinks voucher and many more…… but you must attend the event to be eligible!!
I would also like to note that while the minis have been busy with the Festival Season the upper half of the club has also been busy with a fantastic performance of skillful Rugby. Our U19B team taking on all before them with relish and giving the coaches some tough math to do with the scores they are racking up! At last count they have 100% win record with 226 points for and a nice round 0 against. A fantastic record by any measure and one they should be very proud to hold in their first season. Our U19 ladies joint team is also doing very well as are our U16 & U14 teams.
The record of our Colts should give HK Scottish some cheer to see that there is talent coming through from Kukris that eventually may end up playing for their senior team as Owen Beattie is at present.
Last weekend also saw the First Minister of Scotland in HK and one of the games he watched featured another Beattie this time the younger Toby playing for Shatin College. Pictures of Toby can be seen here as well as a picture of the First Minister with a Flying Kukris rugby ball of which a new one was presented to him to take back for a youth team in Scotland.
On another note, we now have some casuals in stock so please visit the uniform shop this Sunday for last minute Christmas shopping.
I hope to see many of you at the dinner this Friday & also at the mini mini event on Sunday. Don't forget the New Year's Day rugby at HKFC when he hope to see some FK talent from the U12 and Colts Boys having a run. After this Sunday there will be no training until January 8th, so if I do not see you before then, may I take this opportunity to wish you all a very merry Christmas & a happy New Year.
Ian
