Borrelli Walsh USRC Tigers leapfrogged Natixis HKFC into second place in the standings after a 24-18 win at King's Park. The match at Aberdeen Sports Ground between Leighton Asia HKCC and Sabre Kowloon was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

We had to call a few players up and to have our Premiership-A guys playing against top-of-the-table Valley is never easy, but they did well
HK Scottish coach Craig Hammond

It was a brave effort from Scottish to defend their home turf at Shek Kip Mei, but the club's injury woes continue to deepen.

Valley led 25-8 at half-time and a blow-out looked on the cards, but Scottish dug deep in the second spell.

Valley coach Jack Isaac said it was a far-from-perfect performance: "It's the same old scenario. We start well, play decent, attractive rugby and then we fall into a hole in the second half.

"We made some poor errors in the second half. We didn't control our game. We should have kicked to the corner more and taken our opportunities with our set piece. I can't fault the effort. We had the brawn, but we didn't have the brains," he added.
