Wanderers Senior Men became the first welsh team to compete in Europe since the 1980's.
This was always going to be a tough tournament in a spectacular setting of the Mediterranean port of Malta.
Our first game was against The Finnish champions Cetus. We started well with everyone working very hard to stay in the game. They had a few foreign players who bossed the game and we eventually lost 25-11 this was a big score against us but to compete and score 11 was outstanding.
Our next game was against the Dutch team Donk who boasted all pro or semi pro players as well as a USA national. This was probably our best game and we gave them a good run for their money but we finally succumbed 26-11 to the side which eventually won the comp.
Unfortunately the final game against the Portuguese team Vitorio was without Matt and Joe who went down with some sort of holiday illness. Even without them we played really well and you could see how much they put into every minute of play and did us all very proud.25-6.
Considering we were in Div two 4 years ago and now playing the top teams in Europe we have come along way.
Special thanks to Tim Dan Nige and John for organizing everything and nurturing this special group of players.
