Valley and Societe Generale partner up to host a festival of Hong Kong women's rugby as the final hit out before league play

Rugby is coming... with the men's and women's Premierships and leagues set to kick off on Saturday 7th of November. That's just 49 more sleeps.

Valley RFC will host the SG Women's Fast Fifteens tournament at King's Park on 31st October with all clubs and women's teams invited.

Teams will play in the regular fifteen-aside format but games will only be two halves of fifteen minutes (with a two minute half-time break) - hence the name, Fast Fifteens.

The tournament provides teams with a last full-contact hit-out prior to league play. Unlimited substitutions allow coaches to tweak their teams and ensure game time for all players.

Players and fans can expect an afternoon of high-paced rugby on the pitch and an array of music, food, beverage and activities off the pitch.

The tournament is a resurrected version of the Valley Fifteens tournament which operated in the late 1990's and into the early 2000's. Club founder Jamie Scott was a part of the organising committee 20 years ago and is excited about the event rolling around and featuring the women's teams of Hong Kong.
