Angeles City Rugby 10’s Charity fundraiser & Party, September 1

The annual Fat Boys 10s rugby festival is coming up again, bringing a contingent of rugby enthusiasts from Hong Kong’s Pot Bellied Pigs Rugby Football Club to the Philippines to meet their over-sized local counterparts in Angeles City for a weekend of rugby and partying for charity.

The actual game happens on September 1 at the Challenger Stadium at Clark. On the other days and evenings over the weekend, there are various Fat Boys 10s party events around Angeles which raise money for charity and rugby development, shared between the Angeles Bahay Bata Center – an orphanage run by the local Rotary club - and the Philippines Rugby Football Union’s development fund.

Last year, the Fat Boys 10s raised over US$25,000; this year the target is $32,000. Team base hotel is again the Maharajah; the golf tournament is at the Mimosa Golf Club, Bar HQ is Insomnia; restaurant of choice is Sub-Delicious for the 1,000 pesos per head charity dinner and auction.

RP rugby football squad proud of SEAG silver

By Ruben D. Manahan 4th, Reporter

THE Philippine Rugby Football Union is very proud of its men’s team for winning the silver medal in the 24th Southeast Asian Games in Thailand.

PRFU General Manager Rey Gigataras said that he’s more than satisfied with the performance of the team which debuted in the biennial meet.

“Of course, we want to win the gold medal, who doesn’t? But the fact that these players had a shot for the gold considering that this is their first time to play in the SEAG, winning the silver is truly amazing,” said Gigataras.

In the semifinal round, the Philippines scored a 12-7 victory over Malaysia. The Malaysians actually dominated the pool round, posting clinical wins over five competing countries, including a 17-12 triumph over the Filipinos.

In the finals, the Philippines put up a strong challenge against the tough Thailand side but lost, 14-28.

“Our players gave their best and made themselves proud,” said Gigataras. “They suffered a 0-22 loss to the Thais in the pool round and they were able to improve their game in the finals.”

The PRFU is now gearing up the next SEAG to be hosted by Laos in 2009.

“We will try to work on our game and make the team more competitive to have an even better chance to win the gold,” said Gigataras.

Meanwhile, Gigataras said the team will start preparing for the triangular test matches possibly with Guam and Macau from June to July next year.

“We have 1-win 1-loss record in last year’s test matches. We would like to have a better standing this year,” he added.

Gigataras also bared plans to put up a women’s team. “It’s a long process but we’re very interested to have one.”
