Rugby Club News
On January 10th the sub-16 A team beat Belenenses A in a friendly match by 25 - 22, thus achieving our club's best result since its inception. To put this achievement into perspective, Belenenses is one of Portugal's most prestigious, successful and long-standing rugby clubs, established in 1928. Their sub-16 team are the current Campeonato Nacional Série A champions and are drawn from a squad of over 60 players. Naturally, our players (and their parents and coaches!) were absolutely thrilled by such a win, for which they had to dig very deep indeed, as the scoreline suggests.

St. Julian's Rugby Club - Acts Local, Goes Global!
St. Julian's Rugby Club was featured in a programme called "Total Rugby" that was shown on SportTV and Sky Sports in April 2008. The feature looks at the links between our rugby club and that of Escolinha de Rugby da Galiza, a club that, coincidentally, was founded on the same day. For many years now, St. Julian's School students have visited the A.T.L. da Galiza for the community service part of their C.A.S. programmes, and the Galiza rugby club is one of the many social integration projects organised by the centre.
