Class act: Hong Kong boys win second successive Asian school sevens title
Paul Altier and Ryan Walker score in the final to secure a 14-7 win over Thailand
Captain Mark Coebergh starred as Hong Kong won the second Asian Schools Rugby Sevens Championship at King’s Park on Sunday.
Coebergh was involved in everything from scrum-half as the home side defeated Thailand 14-7 in the final to win the tournament for the second consecutive time.
The 18-year-old’s impressive performance was another step towards his dream of representing Hong Kong at senior level.
But rather than get carried away, Coebergh was realistic about his position and is eager to get back to work in training in a bid to continue his development.
“To be completely honest, against Singapore [in the final pool match] I sort of lost my cool but I just had to learn from that, let it go and move on,” he said.
