Great Start to the Rugby Season

Postby andalucia » Wed Oct 14, 2009 8:57 am

Motril Rugby Club and Axarquia Rugby Club (Velez-Malaga) hosted a spectacular day´s rugby at Motril Rugby Club on Saturday 10th October inviting the junior teams from Univeristy of Granada and Benalmadena to join in a festival of Rugby. A fantastic day for players and spectators, which culminated in a great match between Motraxa (Motril and Axarquia) and Benalmedena´s Under 16´s.
An intense match, with much forward play, great handling and back running was decided in the final minutes of the match when Motraxa scored a try and converted to end up 19-10 winners. If this is the start of the season, there promises to be some great games in the forthcoming months.
The U14´s from Motraxa played against a formidable U14 team from the Univeristy of Granada who overwhelmed them with powerful back and forward play eventually winning 50-0 but with Motraxa fighting until the final whilstle.

The U12´s, however, played a storming match overcoming University of Granada by 20-10 with some great inventive play from the backs and strong forward combinations.

All teams are looking to encourage more and more juniors to join the clubs - beginners and novices will be welcomed with open arms, as well as more experienced players. All clubs are affiliated to the The Andalacian Rugby Union Federation and the junior league needs as many teams as possible. For more information on joining Axaraquia Rugby Club, please ring Peter on 679 313 215 .

Training for Axarquia Rugby Club is held at the Fernando Hierro Stadium in Velez-Malaga every Tuesday and Thursday from 19.00 to 20.30. The seniors train the same days, starting at 20.30.
