Selection and training will take place this month when the children return to Hong Kong from overseas for the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Any officer, who has a rugby-playing son returning for the holidays and who wants more information, may contact Assistant District Commander (Crime) of Sham Shui Po District, Mr Steve Tarrant, at stevetarrant@police.gov.hk.

Mr Tarrant, who is the Tournament Director for the New Year's Day Rugby Tournament, said it would be a good opportunity for officers to introduce their children to the local rugby scene, and to watch their kids play on the pitch.

"It's also a good healthy activity for the kids!" he added.
