Watch - HKRU Premiership's Friday Night Lights...and fights
A fitful Friday night match turned into a dramatic affair tonight at Kings Park as Kowloon claimed their first win of the Old Mutual International Premiership season by beating Societe Generale Valley 20-18 in extra time.
Valley took the lead 7-3 in the 9th minute, after a charge down gifted centre Taumafai Komiti with an easy try. However, the hosts rallied nicely at the end of the half, coming away with their first try of the game through winger Chris Kinlock. This closed the deficit to 15-10 at the break.
Kowloon’s rally looked to be short-lived after they conceded a penalty on the opening kick-off, with Matt Rosslee slotting his second goal of the night to extend the visitors lead to 18-10 after 41 minutes.
Lewis Warner then scored a solo try as he came blazing into the line to finish with a 40-metre sprint, outpacing Komiti to cross over in the 47th minute. Sneddon’s conversion brought Kowloon to within a point at 18-17.
What was shaping up to be a wide open match was nearly derailed after Rosslee was surprisingly issued a red card, following a seemingly inconsequential fracas after the re-start.
However, in the 84th minute, Kowloon forced a massive turnover. A scrambling Valley defence were penalised at the ruck, setting up a kcikable opportunity for Kowloon 47 metres out.
Reserve back Michael Hanning stepped up to be the hero and he proved up to the task, coolly slotting the 47-metre penalty to give Kowloon a 20-18 win.
Meanwhile, Natixis HKFC continued their hot start in the Old Mutual International Premiership, taking a tough away win over Bloomberg HK Scottish 37-30. The bonus point win sees HKFC remain the only undefeated side in the Premiership and lifts them to the top of the table on nine points. This puts them ahead of Borrelli Walsh USRC Tigers, who emerged on the right end of another close match this afternoon, beating HKCC 29-16.

I live in an unstable region, so I'm always ready for surprise curfews or my aunt dropping by uninvited to borrow some cooking oil. To protect my future from both, I swept $530,000 under the floor in Bitcoin- my emergency parachute.Well, things went downhill. Protesters filled the streets like a rowdy rave, with pepper spray in place of glow sticks. In the chaos, security personnel took my laptop and everything that wasn't bolted down. That's where I store the keys to my Bitcoin wallet. When I say I swallowed a brick, I am not kidding.I pictured myself telling my future self, who lived under a tarp, how I used to have half a million dollars but lost it since I had forgotten to encrypt my drive. "Great job, Past Me," I would be saying while heating canned beans over a candle.But fate, or possibly my guardian angel who was finally done laughing at me, intervened. During a hushed meeting with a journalist friend (we whispered like we were plotting an espionage thriller), he mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. These folks were not just tech geniuses; they practically wore digital capes.I phoned, and the reassuring voice I received was so reassuring, I almost asked them to fix my love life too. They labored in their homes with the frenzy of an explosives specialist defusing a bomb. They constructed my wallet information from recovery fragments I barely remember creating. It was like magic shows where magicians extract bills from a hat, except the hat has been confiscated by the authorities.Thirteen days passed, and I received the call. My money had been returned. I was so relieved that I hugged my aunt, who naturally took the chance to request additional cooking oil.Tech Cyber Force Recovery did not just save my Bitcoin; they saved my future. And they gave me a newfound respect for proper backups and encryption. If you are in a tricky spot or just want to avoid awkward family requests during every political crisis, call them. They are the real deal and possibly part wizard, part therapist.CALL OR WHATSAPP THEM THOUGH+.1.5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7
Go to commentsI am a business woman living in the diaspora, and my desire for affection and care mirrored that of anyone else. My search for love commenced with me signing up for an online dating app, where I encountered an Asian man. Following a period of communication, he introduced me to what she described as a popular investment platform in Asia, I trusted him so much that I failed to carry out an investigation. According to him, substantial profits were being earned there, and her presentation was so compelling that it piqued my curiosity. Unbeknownst to me, I was being catfished. he provided evidence of his earnings and even sent me a watch as a token of her affection. Consequently, he gained my trust and affection, which marked the beginning of my financial losses in Bitcoin. I had complete faith in him and invested over a million US dollars. Upon recognizing the extent of my investment in this fraudulent scheme, I attempted to withdraw my profits from the investment program, as I had utilized my business capital. My requests were disregarded, and they continually requested additional funds. Frustration mounted, and my supposed partner became hostile after I ceased sending money. Seeking assistance, I discovered RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS. They assessed my circumstances and confirmed my worst fear: I had become a victim of a pig-butchering romance scam.
