SCMP Reporter

The captain of the DeA Tigers women's rugby team is over the moon after leading the mostly Chinese side to a 17-0 victory over Hong Kong Football Club last week in the Grand Final that clinched the 15-a-side women's division title last week. The effervescent scrumhalf, who is also a national squad member, is 29.

Happy?

Absolutely. Football Club are our main rivals. They won the League title and we were second so it was great to defeat them in the Grand Final.

Did you score in the final?

Sadly no. That would have been the icing on the cake. But winning was more than good enough for me.

Is this the first time DeA Tigers have won this title?

Yes. The 15-a-side competition has been going on for three seasons now. Football Club won the first two titles and I'm so pleased that we prevented them from completing a hat-trick.

What was the secret behind the victory?

I guess it was team work. We attacked as a team and had numbers in defence too.

When did you first start playing rugby?

Ten years ago. I was in secondary school when the Hong Kong Rugby Football Union made a visit to our school. I decided to take up rugby.

Why?

Sheer curiosity. I had watched a bit on TV and I knew about the Hong Kong Sevens. I wanted to know what it felt like playing this game.

Any boyfriends?

Noooo. I'm too busy playing rugby. There is no time for other pursuits.

Who is your favourite male rugby player?

Chan Fuk-ping. I admire him because he is not very big but he has a lot of spirit and his rugby is good, too.

What do you do outside rugby?

I work for the Hong Kong Cycling Association as a sports executive.

Can you cycle?

Of course. But I play rugby better.
