catalonia universities team playing leeds met friday 27th march.
they will be guests at the leeds catalans game afterwards.

get yourself down there as the different catalan teams are looking at striking up relationships with student/amateur clubs in the uk with a view to mutual tours and exchange programmes

what time is kick off?

it's down for 4 o'clock, but best off contacting the university.
my mate plays for catalonia and girona and sent me the message last night.
if i can get hold of him i'll ask him for more details.

cheers


wouldnt mind seeing that

they played vs morocco (and got smashed) and are going to play before the catalans-warrington game in barcelona 20th june.
the thing is that they are really trying to give league a push, despite efforts from the catalan RU.

Leeds Met are probably the best student team in Europe. I don’t know about the world though as I’m not sure how good Australian Universities are for rugby league.

Glad to know that student rugby league is been played in France though! It’ll really boost the game and introduce a lot to it!

Best in the world Damo, far and away!

the catalan universities are largely made up of students from what you would call spain.
the only 'french' uni is perpignan.
anyway, try and get down there. the lads are really friendly and would welcome any advice, help or even just a chat about rugby league and britain.

You'll get to see my h2o distribution skills aswel.

wont be able to make it myself

but my brother will be there with a few mates

No they won't, they're playing TASC, not Leeds Met.

A bit more their level then eh?

Cheeky bugger! We played against them on tour a few seasons back with the Akkies. We wern't allowed a full back, or to scoot from dummy half top try and make it a fair game. The lads were incredibly hungover - and still won by 60.

You'd do that against most of the teams in your league mate!

We did, if it didn't snow so much this winter it would have been us you played last Thursday!

2007 wasn't it? i was there and was talking to one of the akkies coaches for most of the game.
and yes you beat them by 60, but none of them had played league before.

so where is the game being held then?
any idea of kick off time?

Brownberrie Lane mate, 4pm kick off

thanks wheels

Aye, it was a great day, played in great spirit!



Brownberrie Lane, and 4pm (I think).

just found it on map. shame it's not closer to leeds, maybe a good few would have turned out.

remember it well. had a good chat to the fench ref before kick off.
he was a bit nervous about the game, but as soon as i told him i was from wigan he turned into a rugby league encyclopedia, good lad

We won about 46-12 I think.

Played in great spirits and it was a fun afternoon.

Viva la TASC!

Well done!

look forward to reading about it on [urlhttp://www.rugbylliga.cat[/url
