MatchPoint Proud to Sponsor "Scottish Barbarians"

Following an exciting end to the 2013 6 Nations tournament, all eyes are now on Hong Kong as they host their prestigious rugby 10s and 7s tournaments this week.

MatchPoint is delighted to be a part of the action as a sponsor of the “Scottish Barbarians”, who are seeded 6^th in this year’s Hong Kong Tens. The select side, which includes members of the Scotland 7s and Hong Kong Scottish squads, is hoping to build on their 2012 Plate runner up performance and bag some silverware.

MatchPoint’s sponsorship comes as the Edinburgh based company continues to build a presence in Asia following the opening of their Hong Kong office last September. Having worked with Scottish Rugby for over 20 years MatchPoint is now playing a role in promoting and investing in the Scotland squad’s efforts at the world’s biggest festival of rugby.

MatchPoint Group Managing Director, Neil Cunningham commented: “As a proudly Scottish based international company, and rugby fans, we are delighted to be able to sponsor the Scottish Barbarians during their Hong Kong Tens campaign.

We have been involved in rugby for many years and in that time seen Scotland’s fortunes rise and fall more often than we would like. This sponsorship provides a unique opportunity to invest in both international and local Hong Kong based players. It is also allowing us to communicate to the Hong Kong and international business communities that we are now operating in Hong Kong. If the Scottish Barbarians are victorious this week, it would be great to see some silverware heading to Scotland.”
