Third-place finish for Hong Kong at regional lacrosse tournament in South Korea
Scott Browning’s side claim a fourth win in six games at the Asia-Pacific Championship with 8-4 triumph over hosts
Hong Kong’s men’s lacrosse team claimed third place at the Asia-Pacific Championship with an 8-4 win over hosts South Korea on Jeju island on Friday.
The win in Seogwipo saw Scott Browning’s side claim a fourth win in six games at the regional tournament, which represents the halfway point in the build-up to next year’s World Lacrosse Championship in Israel.
“We are happy with our win today. A solid performance over the week with four wins and two hard-fought losses to favourites and finalists Japan and Australia,” said coach Browning.
“Korea played a very spirited game on their home soil and can be very proud of their performance.
“We are making good progress as an overall programme and the 2017 ASPAC has provided a good measuring stick of where we are at, and the areas we need to improve.”
