Musketiers LEAGUE Club Nootdorp was launched on saturday eveing.
YES we have dropped the term rugby,we want no confusion here in Holland and want to let people know we are a LEAGUE club.
Three other teams kick off the Grand Prix Nights (GPN's) season on may 1st.
Gouda Bearcats LEAGUE club,Capelle Spartans LEAGUE club and Haagland Pacific Island Knights LEAGUE club
As the game has a very short history over here we dont think this is a problem and not being associated with the after match pranks that union is known for in Holland, we hope we can attract a better quality of human being.
Maybe in the future this will also convince the goverment sports councils (NOC NSF) that LEAGUE is a sport in its own right.
Now we have to hope the bond change the only connection still left which is The Nederland RUGBY League Bond.
England is different I agree, but over here we feel we can develop better by dropping the word rugby.
