Bisley and Kimura run rings around the PLA

They were anointed as the lords of the rings yesterday. Kiwi pair Colin Bisley and Aaron Kimura ran rings around a bemused opposition as HKCC/Aberdeen easily defeated Chubb PLA 54-17 at King's Park and moved closer to winning the Securicor First Division title.

Bisley scored a hat-trick of tries while Kimura grabbed a brace as HKCC/Aberdeen ran in eight tries against a brave, but ultimately out-of-depth, defence. The other three tries were scored by former South Korean international and scrumhalf Lee Myung-guen, or 'Mr Lee' as he is known by his teammates, flanker Billy McQueen and winger Terence Ng. Kimura also converted five tries while Bisley kicked two conversions.

It was clear what the orders from skipper Mike Meredith were to his troops - win handsomely with a bonus point. They achieved that goal on the stroke of half-time when they had dotted down four tries to ensure the extra point crucial to keep challengers Asahi Valley and CBRE Club at a distance.

'We have three more games to go. The next two matches against Club and Valley are crucial. If we beat Club next week and also score a bonus point, we are pretty much sure of winning the title,' said coach Richard Cooke.

He had every reason to be smug having watched the HKCC/Aberdeen bandwagon merrily roll on to register their eighth successive victory this season. They have only lost to Kowloon.

The mainlanders were clearly no match as they were dazzled by the superior backline play of the home team with centre Bisley and flyhalf Kimura orchestrating the attack and No8 Kahu Marfell splendid in a supporting role.

'It was a clinical display today. I really can't complain of our performance apart from a brief spell when we allowed them to score three tries. But we had made changes by then and rested some key players,' said Cooke.
