Coyote Match Report: Tigers No Match For The Vikings

Herbert Smith Freehills HKU Sandy Bay Vikings vs Borrelli Walsh USRC Tigers 2.

The Vikings were sitting in second place after round one of the Premiership A competition, with the match against Kerry Hotel Kowloon Rugby 2 missed due to some political turmoil in Hong Kong. Coaches Thierry and Ian were hard at work preparing the Vikings for round two of the competition, with primary focus on table leaders Natixis HKFC Dragons and Kerry Hotel Kowloon Rugby 2 who sits third on the table. The Vikings entered the second round, with a large two week break due to unforeseen events, refreshed and well prepared. With a dry-club day taking place at our secondary home pitch, support was high. Coaches Thierry and Ian, were on top of the week of training and preparation and the Vikings walked into the match against the Borrelli Walsh USRC Tigers 2 with confidence and ferocity.
