Portugal Tour - The games

Saturday, February 2

U17 - Caldas 12 - CSCE 64
U19 - Caldas 12 - CSCE 19

The U17s didn't have a big challenge, playing a Caldas team much shorter and lighter. However,
since the first minute, they showed they weren't just tourists and played how these games should be played: committed, serious and concentrated.
The U19s had a more difficult task facing a Caldas team in a mission to prove foreigners wouldn't get it too easy. A lot of individualism and mistakes from our players didn't help either. At the end a score which is much better than the quality of rugby displayed.

Sunday, February 3

U17:  Santarém 0 - CSCE 36
U19:  Santarém 0 - CSCE 34

Portugal seems to suffer from the same problem we have in Luxembourg: football has absolute priority. As a result, although our hosts booked the pitch, we could only play 30 minutes in the U17s and 40 in the U19 because the football team booked the same pitch at the last minute.
Santarém aligned two very good teams and even if the scores don't show it, the games were more difficult than the day before.
The U17s raised their level and displayed a superb rugby which didn't give the opposition any chance. The U19s, playing more collective and scoring in every opportunity, did the same.
Overall, two great games form the U17 team where all 26 players could participate, a not so good game from the U19s on Saturday but a good display on Sunday. Luxembourg rugby can be proud of these teams and both opposition clubs were somehow surprised by the quality of rugby the boys played.
Congratulations. 

Portugal Tour Feb 1-3

I think everybody agrees this was a great Tour. Both social and sportive.
We started on Friday by waking up at 3am to take our flight to Porto. The morning was spent visiting the town by bus and a short walking in the center, ending with a visit to one of the famous Porto wine cellars.
Lunch was on a boat that took us up and down the river while with had the local speciality "Francesinha". After lunch we travelled to Santarem for dinner a good sleeping (well... for some).
  


Saturday morning we went to Caldas to play the local club. In the afternoon, lunch and visit Nazaré the place where the now famous biggest wave surfed happened. Another short trip to Óbidos where we could taste the local "ginjinha" (no injuries). Back to Santarém for another great dinner.
Sunday morning we played our hosts, the Santarém Rugby Club, under a superb blue sky. Lunch with our hosts and back to Porto for the flight to Luxembourg.
A great weekend.

Trip to Portugal Feb 1-3

Because it is a large group, we are not able to checkin online. This means we will have to do it at the airport and that we will need to be there a little earlier.
To be on the safe side, be at the Airport at 4:15 (yeah ... I know).  Please, be on time. Apart from the check-in we will also need some time to give you:
- 2 CSCE jerseys + 1 short + 1 pair of socks for the games
- 1 Tour polo to wear on Saturday and Sunday for the trip back home
Keep some free space in your bag in order to accommodate them. The allowance is one baggage, 20Kg max + hand luggage max 7Kg
Each one of you will be assigned to a group under the responsibility of a coach or a manager. We'll send the groups in a separate Email. 

For the trip you will need:
- Passport or ID Card

- Social Security card, if you have one
- Rugby gear: boots, mouth-guard + helmet (optional)
- 3 towels
- CSCE polo (if you don't have one, please let us know QUICKLY. We may still have some stock)

- Some plastic bags for the dirty stuff
- Some kind of jacket (tracksuit for instance) in order not to get cold if you're on the bench

- pocket money (souvenirs, drinks, snacks ...). Something between 30 and 50€ should do.

The rest you know. The usual for a weekend away.

The weather will be much better than here but it's still winter. The forecast is as follows:
Friday (Porto): 14°-9° with some rain (it always rains in Porto ...)
Saturday (Santarém): 14°-6°, cloudy but no rain
