Posted On -

Malta’s men’s national rugby union team has been crowned Men Conference 2 Rugby Europe Sevens Champions after beating Montenegro 19-0 in the Final.

Malta topped Group B after winning three out of three matches, beating Ireland 19-0 in the Semi-Final and then Montenegro 19-0 in the Final.

In a statement Parliamentary Secretary for Sport Chris Agius said this is a historic achievement for Malta’s national rugby team in winning this championship for the first time. He said the achievement reflects the administrative achievements of the MRFU in Malta.

He said the Government highly appreciates these efforts and is currently discussing with them the location of a suitable venue for the sport’s activities. With the Secretariat’s support this year the MRFU initiated Get Into Rugby, a scheme organising sessions for Primary School students as well as organising workshops for Physical Education teachers conducted by the Get Into Rugby Manager of Rugby Europe aimed at generating greater interest in this sport throughout schools.
