The Etruschi Perugia XIII and Grifoni Perugia XIII players were all sourced from the Cus Perugia Rugby club.

These Cup teams now fall under the Gladiators Roma Rugby League franchise.

Does that mean they will act as feeder teams for the Gladiators CQ?

Meanwhile the war by press release/graphic design continues. FIRL, the recognised body get promoted to RLEF Affiliate status iun the same week that the IRFL is launching a competition.

Without getting too bogged down in the past, what's happening in relation to talks about the future?

Yes the 4 from Umbria and Lazio are Gladiators.
4 from Sicily are Spartans.
One from Firenze was confirmed, but no other. However Magnifici are ready for the Championship (in Summer).

Meanwhile the war by press release/graphic design continues. FIRL, the recognised body get promoted to RLEF Affiliate status iun the same week that the IRFL is launching a competition.

Without getting too bogged down in the past, what's happening in relation to talks about the future?

IRFL is focused on own development, until a time arises.

The historic first match of the inaugural Italia RFL Coppa Italia Rugby League was played on Feb 4 between Grifoni Perugia XIII and Etruschi Perugia XIII was 26-36, with the match being one of two legs. Etruschi winning the first XIII match in Perugia!

The return leg of GROUP UMBRIA was played on Friday (night) 11th February with this time being won by Grifoni Perugia XIII over Etruschi. Unfortunately not enough to overturn the result of the round, with the final result being 36 to 38 to Grifoni. The Etruschi Perugia XIII qualify for the Coppa semi-finals through a very narrow 8 point margin.

More photos of those 2 matches will come.

To point out, matches from each group: UMBRIA, LAZIO and SICILIA are played on sporadic weekends, due to both Rugby and Rugby League being played at amateur level.

The historic first match between Fenice rugby Belpasso and Briganti di Librino in the Sicilia Group will kick off at 8.30 pm Tuesday Feb 15th, these 2 clubs are feeder clubs for the Spartans Catania XIII at Stadio Comunale di Belpasso "G. Rizzo".

First instalment of Italia Cup

The first instalment of the Italian Cup arrives at the finish line in Umbria.

Grifoni Perugia Promoted

Pending the matches of the teams still to be played in Rome and the rest of the fighting yet to give a clearer and more delineated composition of the final rankings, in Perugia, the Grifoni can overcome the difference points against the Etruschi. The team organized and refereed by Andrew Tagliavento brought all their forces whilst challenging the bad weather.



Players, who participated last summer in the Italia RFL Championship in the ranks of Gladiators Roma, have been involved with the new guys who have the new code for the first time. The first clash on 04 February, saw that the Etruschi emerge victorious scoring four tries in the first 28 minutes, in which Dellaciana converted 2. The first try of the Grifoni, over of the top of the Etruschi, bears the signature of Pallizzetti. The match re-began balanced over the first 10 minutes of the second half and the first 20 seconds, when the Griffoni scored four tries to lead them ahead by two points (24-26) to 64'. The last ten minutes, however, saw a return in perhaps the Etruschi: Angelini, Marchetti and Franzioni able to cross the line and to allow their team to win the first match of Italia Cup 2011.






The return match on Febreary 11 began with the Etruschi who scored two quick tries. Good accuracy was provided the conversions by Cappetti and soon came the prompt response of the Grifoni as they finally were able to strike giving a margin of 2 points, with the match continuing to alternate between the two teams equally and small margin of advantage given to the Grifoni in their match victory. The points difference finally went through to the Etruschi, having won the first match by 10 points.



A big thanks goes to Andrew Tagliavento who has refereed both matches, the players of the Gladiators that were the tutors to the new companions, all players, CUS Perugia and Mr. Federico Bevilacqua. All of you have allowed Rugby League in Italy to make a step forward. Thank you!

Coppa Italia, here is the second shot!!!

Fenice Belpasso wins the first Sicilian game .


Ina really cold evening at the bases of volcano Etna, warmed by the special atmosphere created by the local club, it has been run the first historical sicilian match of the Coppa Italia a 13 2011. Under the direction of the marvelous referee trio Marco Suaria, Federico Re and Federico Dell'aria, both the Fenice and Briganti have played a good and engaging 13.




Belpasso, 16 february 2011: Fenice Vs Briganti 26-10


The final score of 26 - 10 for the local blu and yellow leaves still hopes for the Briganti, that will have the return match at home next 8th of March to play their chance for the final day in Rome on the 20th of March. Magri's Belpasso pushed also by the crowd grounds 3 tries during the first half and 2 in the second. Bonaccorsi's Briganti pass the line once by half but craze and bad luck do not permitt more tries to the Librino guys.





Belpasso's players open the dances with Guglielmino Alessio at 3' for the first 4 points, his mate Primitera transform. The Briganti's reply arrives just 3 minuts later when Gennaro and Filetti level the score but between the 15' and the 25' Fenice conquer again points grounding two tries with Samperi and Laudani, transforming one they put the score forward of 10. The second half starts again with the Fenice Belpasso forward: three tries plus a transformation give the Magrì's team on the 26-06, at half of the second the Briganti manage to shorten crossing the line for the 26-10 that will not change until the end.



Around 40 persons have challenged cold and darkness, one of them was Totò Trovato from the Catania Rugby, next opposer of Cus Catania. Massimo Nicotra, Spartans trainer and development officer of the 13 of Sicily had the possibility to see the first results of the work thatthe island is giving to the italian League. A thanks other than him must go to the staff of the catanese franchise, to the two challenging clubs and to all the guys that have the courage to match the game. Many thanks!!!

Nicola Toro (left), Federico Dell'Aria (middle)

Toro (CUS Catania) and Dell'Aria actually both played for Spartans Catania XIII in the 2010 Campionato. Difference is Toro gets to play rugby league in winter and summer, which has occurred with other players in the Coppa. Coppa Italia players play with amateur rugby clubs, while others from the CAMPIONATO such as Federico Dell'Aria - who is assisting as a referee, are semi pro in ru. There may be a stage where they can choose to play just rugby league as it develops longer/bigger.
