SCAFL Round 3 - HK Red/Macau
The Dragons debut tour of Macau was a successful venture on the weekend. Actually, it was half the Dragons as it was the HK Reds v Macau Lightning in the SCAFL round four.
Half the Dragons or not, led by supercoach Farmer and drinking buddys Peter Richie and Paul Hart, the Dragons managed to take the lead 35 seconds into the game and never give it away.
The instruction before the game were simple – use our advantage of our elite runners to win the ball from the stoppages and keep the forward line open for Wilbur the lead into. It seemed to work as the Reds piled on 6 goals to nil in the first quarter. The coach was quite relaxed from that point and the instructions changed to Peter Richie – go and buy three beers from the bar over there!
SCAFL Round 3 - HK Blue/Guangzhou
Saturday 29th April 2011 - Happy Valley Racecourse
Round 3 of the SCAFL kicked off in near perfect conditions for football on Saturday 29th April, with Hong Kong Blues hosting Guangzhou Scorpions at Happy Valley. This would prove to be a pivotal match for both teams, with the result having a huge impact on the make up of the SCAFL ladder. Victory for The Scorpions would all but sow up 2nd spot, however The Blues were hot on their heels and keen to avenge their recent close lost to the HK Reds.
Both teams were affected by a number players pulling out in the 24 hours leading up to the game, much to the displeasure of club heavy hitters Grant Dooley and Robbie Burns. A pre game lunch was organised at the HKFC, which was a good opportunity for the players to grab a bite to eat and exchange a few recent war stories. Once the players arrived at the pitch, the mood quickly turned serious and both teams stripped down ready for action. The Blues handed over a few players to help bolster The Scorpion numbers and ensure they had some enough players rotations for the encounter.
SCAFL Round 2 - Macau/Guangzhou
Rd 3 of SCAFL saw Guangzhou Scorpions travel to Macau to take on the Macau Lightning at Macau Stadium field in Taipa.
The first quarter saw the Lightning get off to a flying start with a goal within the first 15secs of the opening bounce due to a centre clearances by Jas Elton that lead to Troy Harris scoring the opening goal. Macau Lightning had control of the opening quarter with Matt Wilson crumbing off a long kick forward to run into an opening goal to score the Lightning's second goal. With the Scorpions starting slow and Lightning backline lead by Dane Franklin and Dane Evans stopping everything that came there way in the first quarter this lead to attacking opportunities to the Lightning and saw Troy Harris kick his second goal and Lightning's third for the quarter. 1st 3-2-20 to 0-0-0.

SCAFL Round 2 - HK Red/HK Blue
Hong Kong Reds Vs Hong Kong Blues, Sunday 3rd April 2011, Happy Valley Racecourse
Round 2 of the SCAFL and the first installment of the ‘battle of Hong Kong’ took place on the 3rd April with the HK Reds taking on the HK Blues inside the Happy Valley Racecourse on a mild Sunday afternoon.
Both sides were boasting solid numbers for the 12 a-side format and fresh legs were aplenty after the 3 week break since the opening gala round in Guangzhou. There was 1 exception however with Reds VC Brendan Kean having crossed the finish line of a 65km HK island trail race less than 1hr prior to bouncedown! Keano (typically a wiry fast paced wingman) subsequently placed himself in the forward pocket and proceeded to dish out assists via handball to all and sundry for the entire game.
On the small playing field available scores were always going to be high and turnovers critical and it was the Reds that jumped out of the blocks early through the solid ruck – rover combination of Jacko & Jacko (not related) in the 1st quarter. The Reds managed 5 majors for the quarter restricting the Blues to just 2.
