PARISIENNE TOURISTS TO PLAY BLUE SOX - K.O. 7pm


Entre Les Potos

The Blue Sox will welcome Parisienne tourists "Entre Les Potos" to Rifle Park at the end of April for a friendly match and the usual Blue Sox hospitality.

The french side play in the Association France Folklo Rugby, whose aim is to promote rugby between teams at all levels, allowing for players of any size, any age, with any level of experience to play rugby. The AFFR promotes friendliness and fair play in their rugby.

"Entre Les Potos" (which translates as "Between the Posts" or "Between Friends") hail from Vincennes in the eastern suburbs of Paris.

They, like the Blue Sox, tour somewhere in Europe every year to play some rugby and seek out a little local culture, and this year they are coming to Ulster from 30th April to 3rd May 2009. Their players range in age from 25 to 47, and as club official Christian said "we are NOT stade français!!!!" which should suit the Blue Sox ok.

The match is on Thursday 30th April, kick off time at 7.00pm. Come along, support the Blue Sox and welcome our Parisienne guests.
