Eversfield stars on Hong Kong debut

THE Marlburian Club would like to congratulate Will Eversfield (C3 2007-12) who made his debut for Hong Kong on Friday night.

Eversfield represented England Students whilst at Newcastle University, but following a move to Hong Kong in July to play for Borrelli Walsh USRC Tigers – he found himself stepping up a level.

Hong Kong assistant coach Andy Hall was pleased with the OM’s efforts.

“He’s integrated well, he’s quite a smart kid so he’s taking things on quickly,” Hall told the South China Morning Post.

“He ran the line-outs today and our ball was certainly successful. For him to come in that quickly and adapt and then perform how he did was really pleasing to see.”

Hong Kong now face Russia on Saturday in the final game of the tournament.
