– Concón Beach Rugby Championship –

What do you think when you hear “summer”? Holidays, relaxing on the beach, sunbathing and swimming in the sea. However, in rugby world, they think rugby beach 5s. I traveled all the venues, except Pichilemu, of the National Beach Rugby Circuit by Vulture during the 2014 season photographing this version of rugby that I discovered. When I traveled to Valdivia, I decided to play with the invitation team and scored two tries! Thanks to Pato and his team in Valdivia we help with players so we can play.

– My Games –

I waited all year for the 2015 season because I’m not going to miss the opportunity to play this year. I checked the teams on the circuit page for the first date if there is a space available that I would like to play. Eventually, the director of the national circuit, Jaime Muñoz, made an offer for an invitation team. Me, me, me! I want me to be a part of it. At the time of registration, it is only me. A while longer we were 3, 5, 6 and then 8. Yes! We have our pool of players.

The day started cloudy and cool. I was able to take pictures of the matches and relax. After about one and a half hour it was my turn to play. Yee-haw! We lost the first two games against Tercer Mitad B and Costa del Sol. I have never received a “sin bin” in my rugby career and in my first match of the day I received a “sin bin.” Also, every time when I had the chances to score a try, they were penalties. However, we won our last two matches against Los Lomas and Taller de Rugby UDLA to be BRONZE CHAMPION!!! We jumped into the sea to celebrate.

Thank you very much to the Feña, and Carlos for taking pictures of me while I played so I can receive memories of that event. Thanks to the Francisca for taking the photo of all the teams so that I can be part of the photo too and several photos of me with the trophy. Thanks to the RUM team’s play to take several photos during the presentation of the prizes so that I can receive the trophy with my team. I am very grateful, more than you know. Now, I seek to register the invitation team for the headquarters in La Serena. So, if you played with the invitation team I agree and you are interested in playing in La Serena, please let me know. Let’s continue on the National Rugby Beach 5s Circuit.
