[2018年10月15曰，香港]: 暫列「亞洲七人欖球系列賽2018」總成績第2位的香港男子隊在今季最後一站(斯里蘭卡站)的首日賽事，順利在小組賽連闖中華台北和中國兩關，至於總成績暫位居第4位的香港女子隊在小組賽錄得1勝1負。 香港女子隊主帥韋斯(Kevin West)賽前已明言要對斯里蘭卡時築起堅固防線才可轉守為攻。娘子軍嚴守紀律抵擋東道主上半場早段的連番攻勢，兩軍多次浪費黃金機會，港隊在完半場前終於先開紀錄，鄺秀欣後上支援莊嘉欣而達陣，隊友潘栢茵射入附加罰球，合力助港隊領先7-0。 港隊下半場繼續搶攻，高香慧(Natasha Olson-Thorne) 、陳楚琪、鄺秀欣和華蓮絲(Lindsay Varty)皆取得達陣，為香港取得29-0的勝利。 這勝利對於港隊能否取得四強資格十分重要，而港隊的第二戰對手是日本，該仗也是決定港隊首日後小組排名的關鍵。 韋斯也曾說如能戰勝任何一支排名在港隊之上的好手將是今季的理想結局。 這賽事的不敗軍團日本皆在上兩站奪冠是港隊的目標之一，但今次港隊再以7-31敗陣。 香港雖然上半場奮力進攻而莊嘉欣的達陣只能令球隊以7-12完半場，港隊下半場的表現無以為繼更被對手達陣3次，最終只能在首日取得小組次名成績，韓國將是翌日港隊的最後一名小組對手。 雖然香港男子隊今次帶同一些新面孔赴會，仍能以71-5 和47-7 輕取中華台北和中國。 摩理臣(Raef Morrison)在中華台北身上取得4次達陣並射入兩個附加罰球，為港隊貢獻24分，隊友靴貝特(Liam Herbert)和拿華(Tomasi Lawa)梅開二度，荷迪(Jamie Hood) 、李忠斯(Lee Jones)和丹馬克(Max Denmark)也有進帳。 香港對中國時上半場已遙遙領先 37-0，得分來自保確特(Kane Boucaut) 、荷迪、丹馬克和摩理臣，下半場港隊再攻入10分奠定勝利。 港隊在首入攻入118分和只失了12分，日本同日也取得103分。兩軍已在上兩站的決賽相遇，而日本兩次也是棋高一著，相信雙方三度碰面的機會高唱入雲。但港隊先要在明日小組最後一戰解決排名第4位的斯里蘭卡才可更進一步。 資料及相片來源 : Elite Step Asia / HKRU

[2018年10月14曰，香港]: 彭博香港蘇格蘭人欖球隊(蘇格蘭人) 在週六的 「盛寶金融本地男子欖球聯賽」中，在主場成功抵禦(20-16)表現日漸進步的Herbert Smith Freehills香港大學沙灣隊(沙灣隊)，三軍會猛虎欖球會(猛虎)以19-13收服法興銀行華利欖球會(華利) ，而Natixis香港足球會(港會)則被香港嘉里酒店九龍欖球會(九龍)以23-17打破今季的不敗金身。 一眾準港腳期望以聯賽的出色表現打動港隊教練團，藉此入選「2019年世界盃終極外圍賽」的名單，加上Broony盃的爭奪戰，令蘇格蘭人和沙灣隊的交戰份外激烈。 兩軍合共有13名港腳，當中8人屬前鋒球員，港隊隊長賓羅拔斯(Ben Roberts)今季首度為沙灣隊上陣，與港隊隊友戴倫羅渣士合力在前線攻堅，至於蘇格蘭人則派出贊斯(Dayne Jans)和積克柏飛迪( Jack Parfitt)兩名港腳應戰，而富加比(Adam Fullgrabe)則先列後備。 香港七人和十五人隊代表T.麥堅和A.麥堅以及另一傷癒的港腳史尼譚(Liam Slatem)皆首次為沙灣隊披甲。 蘇格蘭人甫開賽便頻頻以前鋒線壓迫對手，並於3分鐘由格哥麥尼殊( Gregor McNeish)射入罰球先開紀錄，蘇格蘭人之後的一次漂亮組織並由赫尼(Conor Hartley)完成達陣， 格哥麥尼殊射入附加罰球，助母會在7分鐘時領先10分。 沙灣隊的米達斯(Jack Metters)之後三度射入罰球還以顏色，將分數追至9-10。沙灣隊趁積克柏飛迪被罰黃牌後大舉進攻，林銘寧(Matt Lamming)的達陣和米達斯的附加罰球，助球隊反先16-10。 沙灣隊下半場繼續發動猛烈攻勢，T.麥堅更差點便達陣得手，大難不死的蘇格蘭人憑另一港腳扁確特(Jamie Pincott)的達陣，加上格哥麥尼殊命中目標，主隊反超前至17-16。 其後戰情一度陷於膠著，直至格哥麥尼殊完場前8分鐘射入罰球，計分板才再有變化，沙灣隊未能把握完場前的兩個黃金機會，只能再等一週才可能一嚐勝利的滋味。 沙灣隊主帥韋京臣(Brett Wilkinson)說:「再次與勝利擦身而過當然沮喪。下半場的失誤令我們賠上了賽事，雖然未能好好把握多個機會，但能夠組織這些機會也是正面的。」 沙灣隊今季加強了不少火力，可見球隊的野心確是不小，韋氏道:「球員的回歸令人鼓舞，我們要保持正面心態、汲取教訓和放眼未來。」 沙灣隊從今季兩場敗仗中賺取了額外積分，九龍勇挫港會後對即將碰面的沙灣隊構成一定壓力。 猛虎在一度落後5分下反噬16分完上半場，這些分數來自羅比基夫(Robbie Keith)的3個罰球和一個附加罰球，以及祈斯史東(Casey Stone)的達陣。 華利在下半場由芬尼(Toby Fenn)先下手為強，但羅比基夫射入第4個罰球，將分數保持安全距離( 19-10)，縱使羅斯尼(Matt Rosslee)之後回敬一球，但華利都無力平反敗局。 九龍今仗向積分榜領先份子港會當頭棒喝，更一舉擊破對手的金身。 九龍的積曉士( Jack Hughes)在3分鐘射入罰球打破僵局，再在18分鐘取得達陣，港會的路蘭當尼(Ronan Donnelly) 和佳恩曉士(Glyn Hughes)合力追貼至7-8，隊友湯曉(Tom Hill)的達陣為母會在28分鐘反先12-8。 拜恩菲立斯(Bryn Philips)完半場前的達陣大大激勵球隊的信心，九龍再反先15-12。積曉士在下半場射入罰球擴大優勢至18-12，但之後隊友菲爾韋菲特(Phil Whitfield)被暫罰離場，讓港會的賓布蘭(Ben Axten-Burrett)趁火打劫 ，將比分追至17-18。九龍的菲立斯（Iwan Phillips）的達陣鎖定 23-17的勝果。 港會、蘇格蘭人和猛虎在積分榜成為三頭馬車之勢，其後依次為華利、九龍和沙灣隊。 資料及相片來源 : Elite Step Asia / HKRU

HONG KONG, CHINA—New Zealand’s Nick Voke won his third PGA TOUR Series-China in four events at the season-ending RMB 2 million Clearwater Bay Open to bank RMB 360,000 and finish third on the Order of Merit, so joining four other Tour players on next year’s 2019 Web.com Tour. Starting the final day five strokes clear, Voke shot a third consecutive 3-under 67 for a 14-under total at The Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club. In a dramatic turn of events, England’s Callum Tarren fired a 62 to finish solo second and win the Order of Merit by less than 3,000 RMB ahead of American Charlie Saxon, while Japan’s Yuwa Kosaihira and Korea’s Todd Baek finished fourth and fifth on the money list to also secure Web.com Tour membership. American Benjamin Lein shot 65 to secure third place at 10-under, three shots ahead of compatriot Charlie Netzel (64), Thailand’s Gunn Charoenkul (68) and Australia’s Deyen Lawson (68). Korea’s Taewoo Kim, who played in Sunday’s final group for a second successive year, carded 70 to take seventh at 6-under, one ahead of England’s William Harrold (67). Voke, 23, continued his remarkable recent run on the PGA TOUR Series-China, which started with a tie for fourth in Suzhou then back-to-back wins in Qinhuangdao and Macau last month. After a tie for 16th in last week’s Zhuhai Championship, the rookie pro returned to his winning ways to collect the biggest check presented on the Tour. “It’s been a really awesome run of golf and I’m really excited to see what I do in the next couple of years. This win means a hell of a lot, to be honest with you,” said Voke. “The first couple of victories I managed to come from behind, so to come out here with a five-shot lead and know that everyone is chasing me, it’s a different sort of victory. I’m very proud with how I handled myself and how I went out and played today. It’s absolutely the greatest pro week I’ve had so far.” Voke had admitted he was shaking with nerves while in the lead on Saturday, but managed to stay calm in front of big crowds and hold on to the lead by carding four birdies and one bogey. Voke had also made only one bogey in each of his previous three rounds. “I drove it very well all week and didn’t make many opportunities to make bogeys. I only made four in the end so that just summarizes how it was for me out there. Just very solid and steady golf,” said Voke. “I’m pretty exhausted and absolutely thrilled to be where I am and I think it will take me a couple weeks to realize what I’ve accomplished here. Right now, though, I’m just pretty tired.” Despite feeling some pressure from Tarren entering the back-nine, the 23-year-old Voke remained calm and managed to grind it out on the back-nine. “The first time I saw the leaderboard was on the ninth green and I knew Callum was going deep and I had to keep things going if I wanted to win,” said Voke. “Just a good gritty effort, that back nine. I stuck to my game plan and I felt the pressure, but I handled myself and my emotions and some adversity so just absolutely thrilled.” Tarren, 28, recorded his fourth runner-up finish of the season to secure the number one position on the Order of Merit, despite never having won on the Tour, which he first played in 2016 when he finished eighth on the money list. The Englishman carded eight birdies in a bogey-free round as he looked to put the pressure on Voke and test the young New Zealander’s nerves. “I just went out today and thought if I could put some pressure on Nick early on and see what nerve he has and obviously he has pretty solid nerves,” said Tarren, who admitted he was surprised to win the Order of Merit “I’m just shocked and I’m just over the moon. I felt calm all day because at the end of the day I needed something special to catch Charlie and luckily I’ve produced that. Even on the last hole, I was calm because it was either win, second or bust, so I just had to perform and luckily I did.” The top-five on the PGA TOUR Series-China Order of Merit will automatically earn membership on next year’s Web.com Tour, the top-10 will be eligible for the Final Stage of the Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament from December 6-9 and players 11-25 will be exempt to the Second Qualifying Stage. The PGA TOUR established PGA TOUR Series-China in 2014 as its third international developmental tour, following in the footsteps of PGA TOUR Latinoamerica and the Mackenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada. Since its inception, PGA TOUR Series-China players have received Official World Golf Ranking points for top finishes at official tournaments.

PARIS, FRANCE (October 12, 2018) - The ABB FIA Formula E Championship is bringing fully-electric racing to Bern next season for the Julius Baer Swiss E-Prix - scheduled to take place on June 22. The Swiss capital fills the last remaining spot on the season five calendar, after it was announced earlier this week that the electric street racing series is returning to Santiago in January. The schedule for the eagerly-awaited new season of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship was published following the conclusion of the FIA World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) meeting in Paris today. Bern will host the final round of the newly-titled voestalpine European races, before the series crosses the pond to close out the season in New York City over the course of two days on July 13 & 14. Julius Baer - leading Swiss private banking group and global partner of Formula E - will once again put their name to the event in Switzerland as race title partner. Alongside making its debut in Bern for the Julius Baer Swiss E-Prix, the ABB FIA Formula E Championship will be travelling to other new destinations - including Sanya and Ad Diriyah, where the season gets underway on December 15. Alejandro Agag, Founder & CEO of Formula E, said: “The calendar for season five of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship has taken shape - the most races and the best places. It’s a milestone season for Formula E with the introduction of the new car and we’ve put together a calendar to match our ambitions as a truly global sport. It’s fantastic news to return to Switzerland this coming season on the streets of Bern for the Julius Baer Swiss E-Prix. We collectively made history last season in Zurich - successfully hosting a professional circuit race for the first time in the country in over six decades. Now we’ll be making history once again by bringing the ABB FIA Formula E Championship to the Swiss capital of Bern - I’d like to extend my thanks to Mayor von Graffenried and his team. I’m already counting down the days to the start of the season.” To view the full calendar - please download the graphic below.
