MRUFC BARCELONA TOUR 201

This month Macclesfield under 12’s Rugby team flew from Liverpool to Barcelona, Spain to embark on their first overseas Rugby tour.  Luca Sewell who is a member of the team, tells us all about it.

"When we landed in Spain we got on a coach and set off to Barcelona’s under 12’s club. They had two teams, an A and B side. Our first game was against the A team and we beat them 3 tries to 2.  We also won second game by 4 tries to 2.

The next day we woke up and got ready for a tournament against two Garryowen teams from Ireland and two other Irish teams. We won every game; 5-0; 5-2, 2-0 and 1-0.

After the tournament there was a barbecue back at the resort with chorizo, chicken, burgers and chips.

The next day we went to Ferrari land in Portaventura. There was the fastest roller coaster in Europe - it travels at 180 km/h and is 367 feet tall! There was also a Ferrari simulator.

On our last day we went to look around Barcelona. One of my favourite things was the massive yachts at a port near the beach.

We had such an amazing few days, bonding as a team, learning new aspects of Rugby and making new friends.  Despite all the nose bleeds, bumps and bruises I cant wait for next year!!'
