Mixed Weekend in Rugby for Me (and C.R.A.P).

What a great weekend my son had in the Rugby here in Spain. We all travelled up to Valladolid for the Spanish Championships (or the Torneo Nacional de España), where they came a very good 4th. Loosing out to the finals by 1 try.

Great organization, with tents for each team, plenty of bars and stands. It was great. Thank you Valladolid.

Then I read the below article about the FER (Spanish Rugby Federation): http://blogs.as.com/patada_a_seguir/2011/05/teledeporte-la-fer-nunca-mand%C3%B3-los-param%C3%A9tros-para-televisar-la-final-de-copa.html

In summary the final of the Rugby Cup here wasn't televised because he Spanish Rugby Federation didn't send out the required information to the channel. This type of news really annoys me, after all the effort that goes out by the clubs and supporters to promote Rugby, the Federation can not be bothered!

By the way, a piece of advice to Club Rugby Atletico Portuense, change the acronym on the back of your shirt. It does make me snigger.
