The Orihuela squad

Last week the team were licking their wounds from the hard game the weekend before against Denia, and look forward to get all the players back to training this week ready for the game against Elche at the weekend.

With the weekend full of 6 Nations matches that kicked off on the Friday night with an entertaining game in Cardiff with Wales taking on France, which meant a nice relaxing weekend for the players with a few beers watching the rugby.

Orihuela RFC have a number touring teams coming over this year for the seniors and vets, kicking off with Old Brods Vets in two weeks time and on 24 April during the Golden Oldies Vets tournament in Elche, Orihuela will be entertaining Rosslyn Park Nomads seniors, while the vets have a break in the middle of the day.

This coming weekend we play the final league game of the season against Elche away on 6 March for the seniors, and then we will find out if we have reached the play offs again.

Neither team can win the league, so both teams have just their pride to play for and to secure a place in the play offs, so should be an entertaining game of rugby.

The following weekend will see Old Brods Vets playing against Orihuela RFC, 12.00 kick off after their game against Murcia on the Saturday, so hopefully they will be a little tired for us, so any vets who are interested in a game of rugby, contact me on the number below.

On 23-25 April the club will have a stand again at the “This is Spain Exhibition” in the Orihuela Costa Resort Hotel in La Zenia.

The club trains on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with the juniors training from 18.15 to 20.15, while the seniors and juveniles are training from 20.30 to 22.30.
