SRU NATIONAL LEAGUE WEEK 4 REVIEW

The Singapore Rugby Union (SRU) has named the Singapore U19 squad that will travel to Manila for the Asia Rugby Under 19 Division 1 Championship from 13th to 18th December 2016. Teams participating in the tournament are Singapore, United Arab Emirates, South Korea and Philippines.

Due to the Centaurs Christmas Cup that hosted 143 teams from Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Australia, Hong Kong & Indonesia, Week 3 games were scheduled to play at UWC (Dover), Yio Chu Kang Stadium and Dempsey field. Wanderers look to benefit most from the bad weather break last weekend with a 63-0 thumping of Saints RFC on a cold Thursday night.

The SRU National Women’s League kicks off this weekend. Defending Champions Blacks RFC will be gunning for a back to back title with Bucks, Skyllas and NTU prowling behind. The league is increased to 5 teams with the addition of Bedok Kings Skyllas 2. Here is the preview of each team in the competition.

Bad weather in Week 2 had caused all games to be postponed except for the Bedok Kings v Bucks games at turf city. Tensions between Bedok Kings and Bucks hit a fever pitch as both their Championship and Premiership sides clashed. The Championship sides kicked off with the heavens looking downcast, but there was nothing to indicate that this dampened the spirits of either team.
