On the official FIRA-AER Web site in the Headlines section of the front page, you can find the announcement of this year RRC final match scheduled for June 9th 2012 in Belgrade. In the article “Cross-Border Clubs competitions – RCC” you can also find a short description of RRC history. RRC is recognised by FIRA-AER as the leading club competition in Southeast Europe and as a part of future European club competitions. |
During the FIRA-AER Executive Commitee, which was held on 17/18 April 2012, it was agreed that two finalist of the “North Sea Cup” (NSC): SC 1880 Frankfurt (Germany) and Heidelberger RK Heidelberg (Germany) would play the winner of “Baltic Rugby Club Union” (BRCU): RC Baltrex SIAULAI (Lithuania) or the winner of the “Regional Rugby Championship” (RRC): RK Pobednik MOZZART Beograd (Serbia) or RK Nada Split (Croatia).
After a draw, the fixtures will be as follows:
– Winner RRC vs. Heidelberger RK
– RC Baltrex SIAULAI vs. SC 1880 Frankfurt
These two semifinals will be played on the pitches of the club mentioned first in September 2012.
Winner of the semi-finals will play the final, two weeks later. The venue will be confirmed subsequently.
As our RRC Commisioner wrote: “This is a historic day for the RRC”.
Due to National teams engagement in FIRA ENC and European Rugby 7’s Championship, date for RRC final is changed to June 9th.
Venue and teams are still the same.
See you there…
With semifinal matches played in Split and Belgrade at the end of March there are some changes on RRC Top Scorers list.
Leading scorer Vlado Ursić from RK Nada Split added 14 points on the scoreboard in semifinal match with RC Donau Wien, reaching 56 points in total.
Luka Jureško scored one try in Belgrade to strengthen his position on second place with 45 points and he is still leading RRC try scorer with nine tries. On the third place there is Maximilian Navas from RC Donau Wien who scored one conversion kick in Split and now has total of 41 point. With new 5 points (conversion and penalty kick in Belgrade) Filip Mijić grabed fourth place with total of 32 points. All three of them have no more opportunities to add points to their total because their teams didn’t qualify for this seasons RRC final.
The only threat to the leading veteran are four strong try-scorers who share fifth place with six tries each – Tonči Buzov, Tomislav Burazin and Ante Olujić from RK Nada Split and Milan Orlović from RK Pobednik Mozzart Beograd. Each of them scored 30 points so far and one of them should surpass Ursić in RRC final with the 26 points or more to win this year title of RRC Top Scorer.
