We finally reached the last session of trials for the Alicante regional team this weekend. We have been attending these sessions since before Xmas and now, finally, we got to find out who had been selected.

The Alicante regional team is the first step towards playing for the Valencian Comunidad team and then ultimately the national team. Local teams from within the Alicante region were invited to put forward their best players within the various age groups.

After a very cold Saturday spent cheering on our boys, we were all on tenterhooks to find out who, if any, of our boys had been chosen. Thanks must go to Jorge Gallach from Torrevieja who is organizing, i.e taking all the flak, for this new team. It’s great for rugby but also a triumph for bringing the Spanish and British communities together, sharing a common love for the game.

Jorge then went on to say that the selectors believed that the Los Nomadas Rojales players where not only the biggest but some of the best players that they had seen during the trials. It was as we believed quality triumphs over quantity every time. We may be a small club but we are producing some players of a very high standard.
So we are very proud of our boys Kane Baker and Dale Horsfall in the Benjamin section (ages nine and ten) and Andrew Butler and Tom Willett in the Alevin section (ages eleven and twelve). This is an even greater achievement for Andrew who has only been training for the last few weeks.

Things are really start to come together for Los Nomadas Rojales. We have a really talented squad, of both English and Spanish players, who love the sport. And, just as important, we now have our own home ground. All this is thanks to Rojales council who continue to support rugby at the grass roots level.

Many thanks as always to our sponsors, our kit looked great, K.T.P Electrical, Discount Electrical Appliances, The Amsteleria in Quesada, Crown Car Hire, The Angel Bar in La Marina, B.H.P Painters from La Marina, HablamosconHeidi in La Marina, Performance and Diesel Car Centre in Guardamar and Property Sales España of San Miguel.

We are always on the look out for new players of all ages to come and train with us. Why not get involved and ring Ian on 650892044 or e-mail losnomadasrfc@yahoo.es. We train Mondays and Wednesdays at Rojales Polideportivo Municipal from 6pm until 8pm.

We are also in need of referees, so if you have any experience with rugby at any level just contact Ian.
