My son loves rugby and I told him to forget it when we are in Cyprus . . . so this is great to find out they not only play but they compete.

Does anyone know if there is a training ground for juniors in / near Paphos ?

Thanks.

Paphos Tigers run a junior side. If you make the game on Saturday I'm sure plenty people will be available to give info. We also have a youth development in Limassol but appreciate it is too far to travel. Anyone else out there intrested at junior or senior level drop me a line. The game is developing quickly now but more players, supporters or anyone who would like to assist promoting the game on island is more than welcome.

Thanks Oranos

If you take a look at the list below you will see we have a large number of Cypriot heritage and a few others making up the Cyprus side. Interest grows every day from Cypriots abroad many of whom are willing to pay their own way to play for their country.

I played last night in the Monaco game but have not been able to attend the whole tournament due to work commitments. I am English but have been hugely proud to play for my adopted country.

Cyprus completed their international week with a third victory against Slovakia. Final score 38-8. A very hard game despite the score.

Cyprus rugby has taken massive steps forward with the successful hosting of this competition.

Well done to all the players
