CANADIAN WOMEN DAY ONE RESULTS FROM HONG KONG      29th March 2007

 

Canada’s National Women’s Sevens team, captained by Brampton RFC's Brooke Hilditch went 1 - 2 on the first day of the Hong Kong event. The Women's tournament precedes the main IRB Hong Kong Sevens event this weekend.

 

In their first game against Tournament favorites, Canada lost to the New Zealand Black Ferns  0 - 21. The second game went better, with the Canadians defeating the host Hong Kong squad by 38-0.

 

This win set up a quarter-final match in the Cup competition against China, which Canada disappointingly lost 10 -15. This mans that on Friday, Canada will face Singapore in a bowl semi-final game. With a win Canada will go on to face the winner between Thailand and Kazakhstan.
