In Sevilla, Spain, the non-competitive spirit was emphasized and summed up in Rugby’s internationally recognized motto: “Fun, Friendship, Fraternity”.
A European Rugby Championship with major teams registered and players on the field, 90 teams representing 12 nations.
These are the results: CRC vs TURDETANOS HUCO 2- 0; CRC vs XV MATUSALEN RUGBY 0 – 1; CRC vs ARGENTINAS RUGBY CLASICO 1 – 0; CRC vs VINTAGE VIKINGS 7 – 0; CRC vs VETERANOS SEVILLA RUGBY 0 – 1; CRC vs NZ & RHODE ISLAND, USA 3 – 0.
From the large group of OLD Rugby Civitavecchia a common thought: “Because we have a lot of fun, because we are sick of Rugby, because we like to remember when we were young, good and performing (in reality we still think we are), because we think we can do everything what we did when we were twenty, it doesn’t matter if your head tells you to do one thing and your legs do the exact opposite.”
The Old Rugby Civitavecchia: “ACCARDO Paolo; BAIOCCO Massimiliano; BENEDUCE Philip; BRIZIELLI Pius; CANOVA Glaucus; CAPPONI Lorenzo; CASASOLA Barbara; CHICORY Alessio; COJOCARU Bogdan Valentin; CRESCIMBENI Giuseppe; CUTINI Marsilio; DE GUIDI Giuseppe; DI MAIO Roberto; FLOWERS Mauro; GIULIANI Enrico; IRRERA Thomas; THE ROSE Alberto; MADDALONI Marco; MAERINI Simone; MARGIONI Vladimiro; MONTANA LAMPO Simone; MONTEFUSCO Alessandro; MORBIDELLI Salvatore; OLIVIERI Luca; PEACE Stephen; PANETTA Michele (President of OLD CRC); PASCIUTI Dario; RAVONI Alberto; SCOTTI Guido; SOURCE Roberto; STORRI Valerio; Edoardo TASSI; TRONCA Mauro (OLD CRC Coach); TUSCULANUS Titian; VARLES Carlo; ZARRILLO Alfonso; ZINCONE Stefano”.
The Old Rugby Civitavecchia team is a heritage of Civitavecchia Rugby, because it is made up of people who make all the passion and love that drives the discipline available to the rugby movement.
For rugby players it is important to share both the sacrifices on the pitch and the moments of fun and friendship outside. If it is possible to do so in front of a mug of beer and a plate of steaming pasta and some grilled meat, it is certainly better. .
The event closes with coach of the red and white OLD MauroTronca: “Our OLD had a very good tournament, out of six games four wins and two losses for only one try to zero. Thirteen tries scored and only two conceded. Beyond the tournament there was a lot of fun, a lot of harmony, it was really engaging to visit Seville on and off the pitch all together…”.
