Remarks by Chairman of Hong Kong China Rugby at media session after second test event of Kai Tak Sports Park
Following are the remarks by the Chairman of Hong Kong China Rugby, Mr Chris Brooke, at the media session after the second test event of the Kai Tak Sports Park today (November 16):
Good afternoon everybody. Hong Kong China Rugby was very proud being able to hold the first international sport event here in the Kai Tak Sports Park. I think it has been a very successful afternoon. We very much appreciated the support we have had from Kai Tak Sports Park and the Government in being able to put on the fixture today. It's been a great opportunity for our team to come to operate an event here in advance of the Hong Kong Sevens next March as we build up towards the Sevens. So it's been a great experience and a very good opportunity for our rugby community to come to the venue to experience the Kai Tak Sports Park and to see what a great venue it is. Overall, I think we have enjoyed a very successful day, despite the weather, but also very much helped by the result on the pitch. Thank you very much.
