In the interests of balanced reportage, the joys of Friday and Saturday's football proved short-lived. Aiden's Sai-Kung Stingray's played the HK Football Club today and got absolutely monstered with a 55-7 scoreline that felt a bit like the Bokke against the Blacks of late, but worse. They were just hopelessly outgunned, in every department - size, power, speed, skills, organisation; good night puppies. And not to be scratching for positives, it required some courage to face both the onslaught and the result down.

| Tackle practice - long and hard |
 |
Sprint training on turnover ball; chasing ghosts. Their winger was the Jona Lomu of the U13 world - strong, hard, direct,
much bigger, much faster. |
 |
| Going in too high, hand off in the throat coming... |
 |
| From flyhalf in the second team, to fullback in the first (now one an only): one of two offensive touches of the ball all game. |
 |
| Jules (who had a great game I thought, despite the context, running full tilt gets absolutely creamed by one of their forwards. |
 |
| Coming off at half time - the demeanor says it all. |
 |
| Half time - dazed looks |
 |
| Max in a rare break down the wing - the jerseys of the other players in the picture says it all |
 |
| Jake Cornelius - one of the stand out bright showings, big, fast strong, ran hard at the opposition all game. |
