Friends of Rugby” board have concluded plans for the take off of the Lagos Rugby Union League its flag ship program for the 2010 Rugby season scheduled to kick off next month at the National Institute for Sports of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
According to the spokesperson of the group Mr Ntiense William who have being maintaining meaningful rugby development program especially the Lagos Rugby League in the country in the last 6 years, “We have concluded plans for the take-off of our flag-ship rugby program for the 2011 rugby season being the much talked about Lagos Rugby Union League, which will kick-off next month with Six Clubs as last year.
Said he, “We are constrained with time and will just maintain the format of the last edition for this year. Normally we start in March, but right now we are starting in July which will cramp up our programs. The League will witness 30 matches played over 10 weeks from July through to November with the finals in December. There will be 3 matches played at the same venue each fortnight. Also we will resume International engagements as well.
According to Williams, other programs penciled down for the year on our sponsorship will include the traditional Rakia 10’s Rugby Tournament which will kick off the season next month i.e. June.
There will also be the Independence Rugby Tournament which has fast become a rugby celebration of some sort, and a much watch event in our calendar. We will have a special consideration for the Women version of the game this season as we have packaged a women’s only rugby tournament sometime in August.
The season will be rounded off with the Tri-Regional Tournament, the National League Finals, and the Dubai 7’s International Rugby Tournament.
