The captain of the men's team, Ng Man Lung, stated that the rugby team is coached by graduates of the college. He previously studied an associate degree at the college and returned to continue his bachelor's degree after graduation. "In the future, I hope to teach; the college team gives me a sense of home." Living in Tin Shui Wai, he mentioned that rugby consists of contact and non-contact games, and he has learned both types of rugby. He practices contact training twice a week and non-contact training twice a week, serving as an intern physical education teacher at the school every morning and rushing back to the college to guide junior teammates after class. "Four training sessions a week is tough, but the learning helps me advance my studies."
"When practicing rugby, it is important to stretch a lot; this is very important for self-protection." Ng Man Lung emphasized that the achievements of the college rugby team are the result of years of accumulation. The captain of the women's team, Lau Chi Ying, also stated that the college rugby team is not performance-oriented; the players gradually improve, and the value of competition is not in the results. "Anyone who is willing to come will be taught." Rugby training requires players to run continuously within thirty seconds, lift weights, and pull tires, training endurance while also building physical fitness, working with teammates non-stop for seven minutes. In addition to training and competitions, social activities are also organized regularly. Due to a strong sense of belonging, even if teammates leave the club for personal reasons, they still participate in the club's social activities.
Awarded the Best College of the Year
The college rugby team was established in 1998, with over seventy male and female players. Recent achievements include being awarded the Best College of the Year by the Hong Kong Rugby Football Union for 2012-13, along with awards for Best Men's Team Coach, Best Women's Team Coach, and Most Promising Player. Earlier this year, the team participated in the College Sevens Rugby Invitation Tournament, competing against 37 teams from Taiwan, Mainland China, Singapore, and various colleges in Hong Kong. The men's team defeated local strong teams such as City University, Polytechnic University, and Hong Kong Baptist University, ultimately facing last year's champion Chang Jung Christian University and securing the runner-up position, while the women's team reached the top four.
