Hong Kong, 8 January 2009 - Organisers of the popular GFI HKFC Tens rugby tournament have turned to Two Up Front for the fifth year running to handle PR and publish the souvenir programme.

"We’re very happy to remain involved in the best ten-a-side rugby tournament in the world,” said Two Up Front editorial director Niall Donnelly.

"Each year, the Tens continues to improve, with more and more fans attending and the standard of rugby rising, so we’re delighted to be playing a key role in this success story.”

The 2009 GFI HKFC Tens will be staged at Hong Kong Football Club in Happy Valley from March 25-26. Sixteen club and invitational teams from around the world will compete for the Cup, Plate, Bowl and Shield.

The Tens was first held in 1986 to celebrate the HKFC’s centenary and has developed into a highlight of the Asian rugby calendar.
