NEW SEASON KICKS OF AT RUGBY LA VILA
NEW SEASON KICKS OF AT RUGBY LA VILA
(Benidorm) Although the summer sun is still sizzling, local sports club Rugby La Vila is swinging into action as the start of its new season approaches. Founded in 1982, La Vila is a semi-professional club playing in the Spanish Premiership League, which consists of the top ten teams in Spain. The club contracts professional players from around the globe, many of whom are British lads over for some sun and a slightly different kind of rugby experience. After La Vila’s incredible success last season, finishing second in the league, there are high hopes for another impressive season ahead. Pre-season training started on 2nd August, with the first official league game kicking off in Valladolid on 5th September. Fitness training and coaching sessions take place twice daily, with early morning and late evening sessions scheduled in an attempt to escape the worst of the summer heat. If you are interested in a spot of rugby, a couple of beers and maybe a paella lunch, make a day of it and come to La Vila Rugby Club’s sports stadium this month. The club stadium is situated just a few kilometres outside Benidorm. Upcoming events for September include La Vila’s first home game of the season against Alcobendas Madrid on Saturday 11th September at 9pm, and the La Vila vs VAU Valencia game on Sunday 26th September at 12pm. Food and cold refreshments are always on offer – as well as La Vila’s famous rugby spirit. Come join in with the lively atmosphere and soak up a good dose of Spanish sun. Under 18’s get in free, so bring the kids along too! For more information, please contact Jo le Roux at the Rugby La Vila offices 965 890 376 or email publicrelations@rugbylavila.net.
