When the British military were based at Shek Kong, sports, and particularly rugby, were an important part of the culture. That included the Flying Kukris Rugby Club. The name was derived from the helicopters of RAF 28 Squadron - hence the 'Flying', and the Ghurkhas soldiers - a 'Kukri' is a traditional Nepalese knife. The club was originally for serving members of the Forces, but as mini-rugby developed, so a Flying Kukris Mini Rugby Club was formed. This included a wide cross section of the community and quickly became a popular meeting place for kids and adults on a Sunday morning.

In 1997 the British Forces left and the F.K.M.R.C. was forced to find a new home. Several uncertain years followed and it was not until 2000 that a permanent base was found at the Community Sports Centre (CS) near Sheung Shui. This sense of permanence allowed the club to develop and grow in membership numbers, which have steadily increased since becoming a regular part of the CSC. The Kukris is a bilingual rugby club in Hong Kong, with the current breakdown around 70% Chinese and 30% expatriate. The tradition of bilingual coaching remains a corner stone of the club's ethos. Club players range from 5-18, so covering the full spectrum of mini and Colts games.

In the past we were generously sponsored by Tanner De Witt until the close of the 2008 season. For the coming season the Club is proud to accept the support of four new sponsors – all drawn from within the Club, allowing the club to grow even further.

Although it would appear we have come to an end of our association with Communtiy Sports, we are confident that with the great support of the HKRFU we will soon be able to find a permanent home with our own facilities which support our ambitions and direction of the club which may or may not include the provision of the best Sunday morning toastie in Hong Kong.
