Organisers reflect on another perfect Tens

Hong Kong, 27 March 2009 - The 2009 edition of the popular GFI HKFC Tens rugby tournament proved another soaraway success with sports publishing and PR firm Two Up Front once again playing a key role.

For the fifth year in a row, Two Up Front handed worldwide PR and published the souvenir programme for the event.

"Once again, feedback about the programme from organisers and spectators was extremely positive and we had a strong media presence,” commented Two Up Front project director Simon Wait.

"The event is regarded as the best ten-a-side rugby tournament in the world and we like to think this was reflected in the quality of the programme and the level of media interest.”

Sixteen club and invitational teams from all over the world took part in the 2009 Tens, which was staged at Hong Kong Football Club from March 25-26.

Crack New Zealand team Aliens carried off the Cup for the fifth time with a 24-7 victory over the Alternative New Zealand Legends.

Two Up Front also handles PR for two of Asia’s biggest golf tournaments, the UBS Hong Kong Open and the Ballantine’s Championship in Korea, and another prestigious event hosted by the Hong Kong Football Club, the HKFC IP Global International Soccer Sevens.

The company’s publishing arm produces the acclaimed official souvenir programme for the Hong Kong Sevens plus various other rugby and golf publications.
