HONG KONG—Societe Generale Valley claimed the Hong Kong Rugby Premiership League title on Saturday with a flamboyant and exhilarating victory over Herbert Smith Freehills Hong Kong Cricket Club 61-26.
The match produced 12 tries, with both sides earning a bonus point, with Valley scoring eight times and HKCC four. At one stage in the first half the score-board was moving faster than most could count!
Essentially the match was over by half time. Valley had a sublime half. They led at the break 40-14. After 13minutes they were already 21-0 ahead; HKCC had barely touched the ball, and been grasping thin air as Valley ran through the HKCC defense like hot knife through butter.
