ARTICLE: LA VILA RUGBY CLUB                                    

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 situated just a few kilometres outside Benidorm. 

La Vila Rugby Club has been running since 1982, and is enjoying its second season in the Spanish Premiership League (the top league in Spain). 

In order to be competitive against the likes of teams from Madrid, Barcelona and Seville, La Vila employs 13 professional players from around the globe - many of whom are British lads over for some sun and a slightly different kind of rugby experience.  Under the guidance of British coach, Mark Hewitt, the boys train hard - and certainly produce the goods on game day. 

The team is now gearing up for their next challenge against Les Abelles on Saturday 24 October.  It will be the first game after a two week break from fixtures, and with the guys rested and ready for action, should provide some good entertainment.  The game will be held at the Villajoyosa Stadium at 12pm.  Food and cold refreshments will be on offer, and under 18's get in free, so bring the kids along too!

For more information, please contact Ignacio Davila 608 068 208 or Jo le Roux at the Rugby La Vila offices 965 890 376.
