I wonder why the website is so out of date? The most recent news seems to be about 2013. It gives the impression the thing is dead and buried.

This is such a great initiative (who thought of it?) and something we should be doing much more of. Does anyone here know how its funded? 

It’s self funded by the players, who look to get sponsorship to cover their costs

That is even more impressive than I thought. What a great story.

This is something we should be shouting from the rooftops! 

Isn't it amazing what people can do, when they have the will to do it?

Do you know, who formed the organisation (Who's idea was it) in the first place?

I thought Pioneers was an RFL-initiative?

Anyway, let's please stay on topic, Balkan Super League!!  More matches next weekend i believe.

I’d like to see some prize money offered for the two finalists. Even relatively small amounts like £5,000 and £2,500 to reward the hard work and effort the teams put in to make the BSL happen.

Yes, on topic, any more news?

I believe there were a few matches this weekend.  Aris 6-74 Red Star.  Tirana 8-12 South Region (I think).  And I think also Radnick Nis 30-48 Partizan.

Music video produced by CSKA Moscow and Belgrade Partisans after their match: https://vk.com/thrawn?w=wall1054347_3589

"Mom I'm a partizan", translated lyrics here: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&u=https://lyricstranslate.com/en/%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0-%D1%8F-%D0%BF%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BD-mom-im-partisan.html&prev=search

"On March 24, 2018, the CSKA rugby players played with the fraternal army club Partizan (Belgrade, Serbia ), and a couple of hours later they gathered at the legendary Sally O'Briens Pub and, together with @basta, recorded the army version of the song “Mom I am Partisan”
And how do you spend the third time?"

Nice little video that gives a sense of it all.

Sadly CSKA seem to have since switched codes, or changed their focus.
