RTL Today - International fixtures: Luxembourg to host Montenegro for international touch rugby weekend

Cessange Boy Konen will play host to international touch rugby fixtures both in the seniors and juniors category.

It's an exciting period for the Luxembourgish touch rugby community, as teams from Montenegro will travel over to participate in an action packed weekend filled with a match and a tournament.

On Saturday, 25 October, the senior mixed team will face off in a one-off friendly fixture against the Montenegrin team, which for many of the female players will be their first taste of representing the Grand Duchy.

Then on Sunday, 26 October, the focus will shift to the younger generation, as teams from France, Luxembourg, and Montenegro will battle it out in an under-12 and under-16 tournament.

Lee O’Keefe, Head Junior Touch Coach for RCL Lightning, said: "Our Luxembourg teams have a greater mix of girls, and while that makes us a little different from other squads, our focus on teamwork and smart strategy means we’ll be right in the mix!"

It promises to be a great weekend for all and an exciting development in the Luxembourgish touch rugby bubble, showing they are growing not only domestically but internationally too.
