- SDG FairBreak女子T20板球邀請賽2022 - 第十二日, 季軍戰兩軍全力開火 Spirit更勝一籌摘季軍, Tornadoes成為首屆FairBreak邀請賽冠軍.
[2022年5月16日,杜拜] :SDG FairBreak女子T20板球邀請賽2022來到最後一天,頭場季軍戰由Spirit對上Barmy Army,後者勝出擲毫並選擇先擊球。代表 Spirit 的Yasmin Daswani和陳嘉敏,以及代表 Barmy Army 的Ruchitha Venkatesh 和 Iqra Sahar均會出戰。 本場似乎是擊球手的天下,Barmy Army派出西印度群島的Deandra Dottin 與阿聯酋的Kavisha Egodage 開場。雖然在第4.3回合,投球手Sophia Dunkley向Kavisha Egodage投球,再自己接殺,但第三出場來自南非的Laura Wolvaardt 夥拍Deandra Dottin強勢進攻。第9回合由香港的資深投球手陳嘉敏投出,但面對世界級的擊球手們,她被擊出10分。10回合後,Barmy Army得64分。 直到第17.4回合,Laura Wolvaardt才被Sophia Dunkley投殺,她個人得分51分,共6個四分,Barmy Army得分達159分。在最後一個回合,由Sophie Ecclestone投出,她在這回合一共令4人出局,包括開場手Deandra Dottin。Deandra Dottin僅在53球便擊出111分,共8個四分和9個六分,讓Barmy Army以182分完成上半場,是邀請賽得分最高的半場。 面對著難以超越的總分,Spirit的開場擊球手英格蘭的Sophia Dunkley 表示這是小菜一碟。即使另一開場手坦桑尼亞的Fatuma Kibasu 在第5球便被投殺,Spirit仍有來自蘇格蘭的Sarah Bryce 。她們在第2回合便擊出25分,更把得分率維持在每回合9分以上。第10回合由港隊的Iqra Sahar投出,這回合她僅失4分。她於第12回合再次投球,雖然制造了兩個接殺的機會,但防守球員並未把握到,同時擊球手已看清她的球路,這回合結束時,Spirit得分118分。 到第16.5回合,Sarah Bryce才被接殺,她個人得分30分,Spirit得分達155分。其後雖有擊球手再出局,但來自澳洲的Nicola Carey 在4球中擊出2個四分和1個六分,擊球率為邀請賽最高的350。在第18.5球,Spirit超越Barmy Army得分,以第三名完成今次邀請賽。開場手Sophia Dunkley一直留到最後,得分為全邀請賽最高的123分,共18個四分和3個六分,加上她在上半場令2名擊球手出局,讓她毫無懸念地成為本場最佳球員。 決賽由Falcons迎戰Tornadoes,後者勝出擲毫並選擇先防守。本場將為會有港隊成員 Mariko Hill 及文涓懿分別為 Falcons 及 Tornadoes 披甲上陣。 相較於季軍賽,決賽雙方顯得比較謹慎。在4個回合內,Falcons的兩名開場手均被漂亮地接殺。第7.2回合再有擊球手被跑殺,Falcons僅得43分,而港將Mariko Hill 則得到上場擊球的機會。 Mariko Hill 正在入局階段,豈料拍擋擊球手在 9.5回合被跑殺,幸得及後入場的Marizanne Kapp 帶領,一同為Falcons慢慢取分。剛開始她們的得分率僅維持在6分左右,不過她們之後越來越合拍,Mariko Hill和拍檔不停跑分,而Marizanne Kapp則把握機會擊出界外球。她們一直打到最後,讓Falcons以151分完成上半場。 Marizanne Kapp 在37球擊出67分,共6個四分和2個六分。Mariko Hill 則有30分,共2個四分。 Tornadoes 派出紐西蘭的Sophie Devine 夥拍荷蘭的Sterre Kalis 開場,她們比Falcons更為主動進攻。6個回合後得53分,並未有人出局。在第9.2回合,Falcons終於打破僵破,Sophie Devine被同樣來自紐西蘭的Suzie Bates 接殺,個人得分51分,共4個四分和3個六分。此時Tornadoes得分76分,及後入場擊球的是來自西印度群島的Stafanie Taylor 。 在16.5回合,Falcons終於令第二個擊球手出局,Suzie Bates 接殺了另一開場手Sterre Kalis,她個人得分44分,共5個四分。此時Tornadoes得分126分,在餘下的19球,得分需要26分才能勝出比賽。 來自南非的Sune Luus 入場擊球,她沒有浪費任何一球,與Stafanie Taylor盡力得分。在19.1球,她擊出了一個四分,這一球讓Tornadoes成為「SDG FairBreak女子T20板球邀請賽2022」冠軍。她個人在9球得分18分,共2個四分和1個六分。另一擊球手Stafanie Taylor也功不可沒,她個人得分34分,共2個四分和1個六分。 「SDG FairBreak女子T20板球邀請賽2022」已完滿結束,賽會在決賽當日已公佈明年三月將在香港舉行,香港板球以主場身分舉辦賽事。 資料及相片來源 : 香港板球
- 香港男女子七人欖球代表隊久休復出 雙雙打進盃賽決賽
[2022年5月16日,香港]: 自去年11月後一直停賽至今的香港男子及女子七人欖球代表隊在首場國際比賽中表現出色。兩支港隊均在「英國超級七人欖球系列賽」揭幕戰中打進盃賽決賽。男子隊在黃金加時賽中以14:19 敗陣武士球會(Samurai RFC),而女子隊則以17:7 輸給同一球會。港隊在今場比賽的表現令人滿意,他們對下一場於五月二十八日在倫敦愛爾蘭球場(London Irish)舉行的比賽充滿期待。 男子隊在盃賽準決賽中對戰Emerging Spain ,上半場以14:12領先後,最終以24:17取勝。 進入決賽時,港隊對陣系列賽的衛冕冠軍武士球會。上半場,港隊先由雙隊長史圖戴爾(Hugo Stiles)和李卡度相繼得分,以14:0領先。但武士球會後期發力,由英格蘭七欖球星Will Glover 超越港隊的防守得分,上半場完結時,港隊以14:7 領先。 下半場,港隊再次失分於武士球會,以14分平手打入加時賽。當麥古洛(Callum McCullough)衝破武士球會的防守時,港隊似乎勝券在握,可惜在達陣前對方成功攔截,阻止了麥古洛的入球。武士球會看似越位,但球證並沒有吹罰,他們一記外檔快傳,讓Will Glover 再次成為功臣,為武士球會取得勝利。 主教練莊保羅(Paul John)表示:「對男子隊來說,以突然死亡輸球是很難接受,但整場比賽他們都打得很好,無可挑剔。這是我們自去年11月以來的第一場比賽,男子和女子隊中甚至有些球員已經三年沒有參加比賽。我們從這次比賽中獲益良多。」 在女子盃賽決賽中,女子隊在上半場一直堅守防線,讓對手無法突破,同時,她們亦看準時機,積極地轉守為攻。 港隊迫使對手連番失誤,最終在上半場讓武士球會得到一張黃牌。這番強勁的攻勢讓蘇綺琦取得處女戰的首個達陣。 中場休息時,港隊以7:0 領先,但武士球會在下半場的反應良好,一開始就不斷施壓。最終,武士球會的Anna Hennessy 在比賽還剩五分鐘時突破防線,將比分打成7:7。武士球會在最後兩分鐘加倍防守,這次便輪到港隊不斷出現失誤,且獲得一張黃牌,令港隊在最後兩分鐘只有六位球員在場。武士球會乘勝追擊,連續兩次達陣,終以17:7 獲勝。 莊保羅為女子隊的表現感到鼓舞,他說:「這是一場打得很好的比賽!她們雖然一直都是斷斷續續地訓練,但都能夠打進決賽,並一路壓迫著武士球會,這絕對是一個成就。」 他續說:「兩支港隊的表現都十分出色,我很高興看到他們重返比賽環境。他們在一天內打了六場比賽,對身體和心理都是充滿挑戰的。所有上場的球員都發揮得很好,同心協力地提升了整支球隊的表現。而沒有上場的球員也有在場吶喊支持和幫助分析局勢。 我也很高興看到工作人員同樣重回比賽環境中。當我們在晚上十一時回到集訓營時,每個人都非常疲倦。我們有幾天的恢復時間,並將在星期二再次開始訓練,為五月二十八日的第二場比賽作準備。」 Information and photo source : Elite Step Asia / HKRU

- REIGING CHAMPION NYCK DE VRIES WINS SECOND RACE IN 2022 SHELL RECHARGE BERLIN E-PRIX DOUBLE-HEADER:
Nyck de Vries wins in Berlin, where the reigning champion claimed his title last season Edoardo Mortara can’t match victory in the first race of the double-header weekend but secures second place Stoffel Vandoorne stretches his lead in the Drivers’ standings in third More than 15,000 attended the 2022 Shell Recharge Berlin E-Prix weekend BERLIN, Germany. Sun. 15 May 2022 – Mercedes-EQ's Nyck de Vries delivered a supremely controlled drive to win the second race in the 2022 Shell Recharge Berlin E-Prix double-header, heading home ROKiT Venturi Racing's Edoardo Mortara and Mercedes-EQ teammate Stoffel Vandoorne. Reigning champion de Vries powered to victory at the Tempelhof Airport circuit, the scene of his Season 7 title triumph, with Mortara following 2.5s back as Saturday's windy conditions made way for weekend-high temperatures. Vandoorne made it two Mercedes-EQ-run Silver Arrow 02 cars on the podium and three Mercedes-EQ powertrains in the top three. The Belgian's third-place finish also extended his silverware streak to three races. Lucas di Grassi (ROKiT Venturi Racing) came home fourth to extend that to four Mercedes-powered cars in the top four in a dominant outing on home soil. Robin Frijns (Envision Racing) wound up a battling fifth after a race-long back-and-forth between the Dutchman, António Félix da Costa (DS TECHEETAH), who finished in sixth and a gaggle of cars behind all fighting to maximise their points haul as Season 8 passed its half-way stage. Oliver Rowland (Mahindra Racing) made good progress from 10th at the outset to an eventual seventh - the Yorkshireman running as high as fifth at one stage. TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team's André Lotterer took the chequered flag in eighth position, not quite able to capitalise on practice and qualifying pace. Jean-Éric Vergne crossed the line in ninth, just ahead of fellow title challenger Mitch Evans [Jaguar TCS Racing] who took the final point in 10th. After eight races and at the halfway point in Season 8 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, Vandoorne is top of the Drivers' standings running on 111 points, with Mortara moving into second on 99 points and Vergne now third, a further four points back. Mercedes-EQ sit atop the Teams' standings on 176 points, with ROKiT Venturi Racing next on 148 points. Round 9 in the biggest-ever 16-race calendar is the Jakarta E-Prix on 4 June, the first time the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has raced in Indonesia. NYCK DE VRIES, MERCEDES-EQ FORMULA E TEAM, #17 said: "We have had a difficult ride the past three races, honestly I am just very pleased to be back. I have had a bad time in the past three races, so I am very pleased to come back after a difficult day yesterday. My engineer is always really positive which is nice. "Of course [I was worried about the driver challenges behind], Edo had been very strong all weekend so we definitely had to keep it clean, but the team managed it very well on their side and I executed it. I am very pleased." EDOARDO MORTARA, ROKiT VENTURI RACING, #48 said: "The race was quite good obviously, we are standing here on the podium. But congrats to Nyck and Mercedes, they were having a better pace than us. I was trying to hang with him, but he was definitely quicker in the end. It is still a great weekend for us, two pole positions, a victory yesterday and a second place today. "It shows that Mercedes are doing things right [with ROKiT Venturi Racing powertrain]. They have a very competitive package, and I am very happy to be driving one of these cars for the last three years." STOFFEL VANDOORNE, MERCEDES-EQ FORMULA E TEAM, #5 said: "It was a pretty good race to be honest, a little bit less action than yesterday for me. But nonetheless it is great to be back on the podium, our cars were flying again today and after a tricky qualifying it was important to not lose momentum and to get back to speed in the race. But a double podium this weekend, I am definitely happy with that. "It felt good [the move on Lucas di Grassi]! Lucas is a tough one to fight, and I had a little more pace than him at that point and managed to pull it off cleanly." The guest of honor at the race on Sunday was the Governing Mayor of Berlin and patron of the 2022 Shell Recharge Berlin E-Prix, Franziska Giffey. She met Formula E Founder and Chairman, Alejandro Agag; Jamie Reigle, Chief Executive Officer, and Alberto Longo, Co-Founder and Chief Championship Officer, and confirmed that Berlin will continue to host Formula E races. “We are delighted that the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is taking place in our capital for the eighth time. Berlin is the only city that has been on the racing calendar every year since the inaugural season in 2014.” Mayor Giffey continued: “The iconic Tempelhof Airport is the venue for the event for the seventh time. The track has quickly become one of the most well-known racetracks in Formula E and I am therefore delighted that it has been contractually secured that the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will also take place on the Tempelhof site for the next two years.“ During the grid walk and a visit to the pits of the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, Mayor Giffey was able to see the technology of the all-electric racing series. "Formula E not only offers us exciting electric racing, but is also an important platform to promote technological and sustainable innovations that can facilitate our transition to a greener and electric future," she said.

- MORTARA WINS OPENING RACE IN 2022 SHELL RECHARGE BERLIN E-PRIX,DOUBLE-HEADER: ROUND 7 OF THE ABB FIA
Edoardo Mortara claims second win of the season in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship Jean-Éric Vergne launches late challenge but settles for second Stoffel Vandoorne retains lead in the Drivers’ standings with a third-place finish for the Mercedes-EQ driver in front of home fans BERLIN, Germany. Sat. 14 May 2022 – Edoardo Mortara (ROKiT Venturi Racing) produced a complete drive to seal victory in the 2022 Shell Recharge Berlin E-Prix Round 7, heading home Jean-Éric Vergne (DS TECHEETAH) and Stoffel Vandoorne (Mercedes-EQ). Mortara had it all to do to keep a fiesty-looking Vergne back and the decisive moment came on Lap 37 as the Venturi driver went on the defensive at Turn 6, luring JEV into a move resulting in the Frenchman diving too deep and falling 1.5s back. From there, the win was Mortara's, though Vergne scrapped hard to take second spot from fourth on the grid. Vandoorne produced one of the drives of the day to recover from being shuffled down the order to 12th at the end of Lap 12. The Belgian had slipped by six by the halfway stage and looked as good a bet as any for the race win. Ultimately, he had to settle for third after a back-and-forth with Vergne and while the lead pair fought each other but that was enough to see the Mercedes-EQ driver hold on to the standings lead. TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team pair, André Lotterer and Pascal Wehrlein, and Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) fought amongst themselves throughout, eventually winding up with Lotterer in fourth ahead of Evans in fifth and Wehrlein sixth with Evans no doubt the happiest of that trio to score well having started ninth. Sam Bird showed good pace in the other Jaguar to follow in seventh having battled his way from 15th on the grid. António Félix da Costa (DS TECHEETAH) had run with his teammate towards the front of the pack early on but slipped to eighth, as did front-row qualifier Alexander Sims (Mahindra Racing) who finished ninth. Reigning champion Nyck de Vries couldn't climb through the order as his teammate had done - the pair having run together through the opening laps - but the Dutchman nonetheless salvaged a point with 10th. That sees Vandoorne move to 96 points, with Vergne three points back and Evans 11 shy of the Frenchman while Mortara leapt into fourth. Mercedes-EQ reaffirmed its Teams' advantage with a nine-point margin over DS TECHEETAH. ROKiT Venturi Racing sits third. The 2022 Shell Recharge Berlin E-Prix Round 8 is tomorrow from the Berlin Tempelhof Circuit, with FP1 set to kick things off tomorrow morning at 07:15 CEST, with the race itself to follow at 15:04 CEST. Round 8 marks the midpoint in the 16-race season, the biggest-ever race calendar in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. EDOARDO MORTARA, ROKiT VENTURI RACING, #48 said: "What a day. After the qualifying we were already very happy, but this race was amazing, very stressful because there were different strategies that I had to defend. In the end everything went alright, and I'm very happy. "You have to ask him [Vergne] about what happened at the end! He tried to overtake me but I was kind of anticipating it, but luckily for me he couldn't really stop at the apex of the corner, and I couldn't pass him straight away, and I knew that he had spent a lot of energy so it would be difficult for him to pass me again. "The good thing about Formula E is you need to constantly change your strategy, obviously you have a plan at the beginning of the race but nothing goes according to plan and you always need to adapt, as the others are trying to destabilise you, but in the end everything worked out very well for us." JEAN-ÉRIC VERGNE, DS TECHEETAH, #25 said: "It was a busy race. Lots happened and I am happy with second, I tried to give it a go to Edo but I think his mirror was working quite well so he saw he coming. I still had to try, I was not just going to sit behind and be happy with second so I had to try something. It was quite tight with Stoffel, so first my target was to win then I had pressure from behind so I had to watch out for Stoffel. But I am happy with second, another podium and more points - hopefully we can finally win a race this year. But other than that okay. "The pace of the car was good, it was better in the middle part of the race than at the end, maybe in the middle part I could have gained more time more advantage. But its okay, we are going to learn from this race and move on until tomorrow." STOFFEL VANDOORNE, MERCEDES-EQ FORMULA E TEAM, #5 said: "I am not going to lie I'm a bit surprised [to be on the podium]. I did not have the best opening lap, I lost so many places I was probably down in P15 at one point. But I kept my cool, felt immediately there was pace in the car, so I could really use that today and get efficient overtaking done. The team did well with the strategy, I managed to execute it, and recover my poor performance in lap one." Information and photo source : The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship
- SDG FairBreak女子T20板球邀請賽2022 - 第九日Spirit、Barmy Army、Tornadoes及Falcons週六晚上爭取決賽入場券.
[2022年5月14日,杜拜] :SDG FairBreak女子T20板球邀請賽2022來到第九天,今天將會進行單循環賽階段的最後兩場比賽,頭場由Falcons對上Tornadoes,前者勝出擲毫並選擇先擊球。本場將為會有港隊成員Mariko Hill及瑪利琳分別為Falcons及Tornadoes披甲上陣。 Falcons一如既往派出Chamari Athapaththu 和Danni Wyatt開場,她們亦不負眾望強勢進攻。可惜在第3.4回合,Chamari Athapaththu不小心僅以板邊碰到球,而該球直接飛到捕手手上。Chamari Athapaththu僅得20分就被接殺,是她在是次邀請賽中最差的成績。不過加上今天的2球六分,她已擊出12個六分,比第二的擊球手多5個。 及後出場的港將Mariko Hill,她夥拍Danni Wyatt積極取分,曾經把每回合得分推高至8.2分。在10.2回合,Danni Wyatt把球打高,被防守球員在邊界接殺,個人得分32分,共3個四分和1個六分,此時Falcons得71分。 Mariko Hill在下一球便擊出四分,讓Falcons保持氣勢。可惜於12.1回合,拍擋Suzie Bates擊球時把球擊向投球手,投球手意圖截球未果,僅手指頭碰到該球。Mariko Hill因準備跑分,所以已離開安全區,因此當球快速滾向三柱門時,未能及時回防,不幸被跑殺,最後得分21分。 上半場後半局Suzie Bates 盡顯隊長風範,成為得分主力,並一直留到最後,可惜未有擊球手能夠配合。她個人最終得分41分,共5個四分。Falcons以138分完成上半場。 Tornadoes派出Sophie Devine 及Sterre Kalis 開場,她們深知必須勝出此場才能晉級,所以從一開始便進取地得分。8個回合內,即使Mariko Hill已瞓身阻截了數個界外球,Tornadoes 仍已取得70分。 Mariko Hill之後獲得投球的機會,她有數球都讓擊球手無法招架,2個回合僅失9分。此時,得分達52分,共4個四分和3個六分的Sophie Devine卻因傷暫時退場。比賽還剩餘54球,Tornadoes只需49分便能勝出。Mariko Hill繼續投球,3個回合僅失14分,是全隊失分率最低得投球手。 Falcons 在14.1回合取得突破,Gunjan Shukla把得分達50分,共8個四分的Sterre Kalis 投殺,Tornadoes此時得分112分。在16.1回合Gunjan Shukla再投殺一個擊球手,似乎為Falcons帶來希望。比賽來到最後2個回合,Tornadoes仍需8分,擊球手們背負著全隊的希望,找機會得分。南非的Sune Luus 在第5球擊出1個四分,增加投球手的壓力。 Mariko Hill 被獲派投出最後一個回合的重任,她的第1球投向左手擊球的Sita Rana Magar ,她並沒有擊中,球直接到捕手手中。第2球,擊球手移動位置,並利用球的速度擊出四分。該球越過了邊界,Tornadoes也超越了Falcons的得分,勝出比賽。積分榜上Tornadoes更超越了South Coast Sapphires 及Falcons,以第三名晉身準決賽。這也意味著South Coast Sapphires無緣準決賽。 第二場由Barmy Army迎戰Warriors,前者勝出擲毫並選擇先防守。代表Barmy Army的Ruchitha Venkatesh和Iqra Sahar,以及代表Warriors的李芷心和潘寶怡均會出戰。 Warriors派出Hayley Matthews 及Esha Oza 開場,Hayley Matthews在第1球跑了2分後,接連打出3個四分。第0.6球她們在跑分時遲疑了,結果Esha Oza 在一球都沒有打過的情況下出局,李芷心接替入場。在第2.1球,她終於有機會擊球,可惜還有時間好好感受世界級的投球,她就被投殺了。 Mignon du Preez 其後入場,夥拍Hayley Matthews穩住形勢。10個回合後,Warriors得分81分,仍然只有2人出局。第11.1回合,Hayley Matthews在跑第2分時被跑殺,最後得分52分,共7個四分。此球由巴西的Laura Cardoso 扔給身為捕手的Heather Knight ,是一球漂亮的跑殺。Heather Knight 身為英格蘭的隊長,主要崗位為擊球手,偶爾也會投球,在近兩場賽事更擔任起捕手,可算是一個真正的全能球員。 Barmy Army今天憑著出色的防守,跑殺了3人。留下來的Mignon du Preez成為得分重心,她個人最終得分75分,共6個四分和3個六分。Warriors以156分完成上半場。 Warriors投出的第1 球便以為把Barmy Army的Laura Wolvaardt 接殺,不過裁判經慢鏡重播証實,擊球手並沒有碰到球,所以接殺並不成立。不過在第1.2球,Laura Wolvaardt真的把球打高,Warriors的Mignon du Preez跳高單手把她接殺了。第2.6球跟第0.1球同為Shamilia Connell投球,同樣被Hayley Matthews接著,僅得6分便被接殺。 主要擊球手們均被接殺,Barmy Army 10個回合後僅得45分。在13.2回合,Fatima Sana被投殺,此時Barmy Army僅得58分,而當中有一半的分數都來自年僅20歲的Fatima Sana ,她得到全隊最高的34分,共5個四分。 第14.1回合,Hayley Matthews投出的球被擊球手打至空中,由潘寶怡接殺。其實在這接殺之前,潘寶怡在這個防守位置已經截停了不少球,讓擊球手無法跑分。第15.4回合,再有擊球手出局,Iqra Sahar得到擊球的機會。 Iqra Sahar 努力與拍檔跑分,希望盡力收窄差距,可惜在17.5回合,被判阻門出局。港將Ruchitha Venkatesh 隨即接替入場,她今仗表現優異,把握機會打了1個四分,最後得9分,Barmy Army以102分完成20回合,負Warriors 54分。Warriors終於「破蛋」作為安慰獎。 單循環賽階段結束,晉級準決賽的隊伍包括Spirit、Barmy Army、Tornadoes及Falcons,South Coast Sapphires、Warriors提早結束FairBreak旅程。 明天為休息日,後天(14號)將會有四強對戰,香港時間晚上8時及12時將會分別上演Spirit對Falcons及Barmy Army對Tornadoes。所有比賽都會在香港板球facebook專頁直播。 資料及相片來源 ︰ 香港板球
