due to rain there's a backlog of games. league should get back on track this coming weekend.

Is there any sign of development of rugby league in the rest of Spain? It would be greater to have a larger Spanish competition at some point.

no rugby league in spain that i know of. lots of interest in catalonia though. especially girona and barcelona. it's very early days and despite what some (albert) might tell you, it's little more than a weekend novelty pastime at the moment.

weekend result from Group 2:
09-05-2009 RC Garrotxa 24 - 50 BUC

Defence on top then?

couldnt get to the game as i was in london. some of the lads (quite a few actually) are being caught out with the pace of the attack. had a couple tell me it's a lot different from union in that they dont have time to 'walk' back to the line.

Rugby league and the Catalans-Warrington game in Barcelona, June 20th given good coverage in national newspapers.

weekend's results:
BUC 36 - 32 GEiEG
CR Sant Cugat 6 - 0 CE Inef Lleida

GEiEG 46 - 36 RC Garrotxa
GEiEG win the Girona derby with a hard fought win over the Garrotxa. Great game to watch as these lads are finding their rugby league feet. Some of the tries were very good and the noises coming out of most camps today were very positive.

Catalonia Today dedicates 8 pages to the Catalans and the Catalans-Warrington game in Barcelona on 20th June.
Starts on page 28.

The final of the first Catalan rugby league championship will take place this Sunday, 7th June, at 12.45 at the rugby stadium of Cornellà (Ave. Baix Llobregat s/n, corner with carrer Rugby). The Barcelona University Club (BUC) and CR Sant Cugat will compete for the title.

Beforehand there will be the match for third and fourth place between GEiEG of Girona and CE INEF Lleida, at 11.00.

3rd and 4th place deciders always bring in the crowds.

I've heard a rumour there could be up to 15 people at the game. My concern is whether there'll be enough stewards to manage a crowd of that enormity.

About the crowds the Birmingham Bulldogs got when they were last in NL3, draft 'em into SL I say!

Got a message from my mate, the captian of GEiEG asking if I wanted to travel with them to Barcelona for the game on the 20th June.
There are 20 of them so far and they're getting a bus.
Still don't know the result from this morning, but I fancy GEiEG to get the better of Lleida.
There was a little in the paper yesterday and today but it's all USAP.

BUC first Catalan champions!!!

Catalonia to play internationals against Czech Republic, Morocco and Belgium this summer.

Come on you belgians!

It's being played in Wavre, just outside Brussels. You know it?

Aye, that I do. Been a long time though - 10+ years.

Was trying to talk the girlfriend into a weekend in Brussels
