Hey! Where's all the comment/news about the beach RL festival? 

What a great event, great turnout (from so far afield) and what a positive can-do attitude from the organisers. 

Well done to all concerned. It would be nice to see some representation from old blighty, taking part next year.

It's very exciting to see them doing all this, off their own bat's.

It just show's what can be done with the will to just do it.

Introducing Bakircay Saints. 

They are a new side based out of a University in our region. Our present hope is that this year we can run a regional League with three local full numbers teams (13 aside) then play a final before one challenges other conferences. 
 

We would then bring the best from the three full side teams together to play for our 'Elite' team Izmir Zaferi. Time will ttell whether it will work but given the economy we have to think more locally for our development.

While we are at it we are trying to start a new team in Kütahya. You can follow them at @kutahyaragbi

This coming Sunday @izmirzaferi will take on a team from the HMS Albion. They have normally played Union and no doubt will be better than us but we are excited to have this friendly match.

Game today for two teams that will act as feeder teams for Izmir Zaferi in time.

I was high scoring but great to get the guys out there with numerous new players.
