FC Barcelona v Spyro Bera Bera. Sun May 27 at 12 00

UE Santboiana v Madrid Noroeste. Sun May 27 at t2 30

The Spanish rugby league drew to a close last week with Santboiana giving local rivals Barga a 44-9 thumping in the final game of the season. But the 2006 champions only finished third in the table this season, while Barga had to make do with sixth.
Now. though, both sides get the chance of a fresh start as the Copa del Rey gets under way this weekend. Both of our local sides will have home advantage in the single-match encounters.

The side from Sant Boi, the oldest rugby club in the country, will be facing Madrid Noroeste. a side that has been associated to a possible deal with Real Madrid next season. Meanwhile, FC Barcelona (who became part of the football club in a similar deal last summer) face Basque outfit Spyro Bera Bera, who finished one place above them in the league. To get to Sant Boi. the satellite town that is home to Santboiana. any of the FFCC trains leaving Placa Espanya will be there in about fifteen minutes, although it is quite a hike from the station to the ground. Perhaps best to take a cab.

Meanwhile, Barça play at La Foixarda, which is best reached from Plaça Espanya. From there head up Maria Cristina as far as Rius i Taulet and turn right along Marques de Comillas. You’ll go past the Poble Espanyol and eventually come to a roundabout, where you should turn left. You should now see the rugby ground below you. and if you look closely you’ll even find some signs telling you where it is.
