Rugby

The Seven a Side tournament will be held on the Andrés Bello Campus courts

This Saturday, October 19, starting at 11:00 a.m. The Regional Rugby Championship - Seven a Side will begin at the University of La Serena, organized by the ULS rugby branch with the support of the General Directorate of Student Affairs.

The championship has the participation of 4 regional teams and a guest team from the Valparaíso Region, with the opening match being the confrontation between ULS and Seminario on field 1 of Campus Andrés Bello (Department of Physical Education and Sports).

Marcial Feris, a Civil Engineering student and team captain, commented that "during the preparation we have focused more attention on the physical part due to the type of championship modality, so that in this way we can hold a great tournament."

It should be noted that the seven-a-side modality is played with 7 players per team, making the game fluid and with more physical wear and tear.

"We hope that this day of rugby will be pleasant for all the spectators, that it will be a quality spectacle and that rugby will be even better known in the area", concluded the captain.

The participating teams are: University students, Carneros, Conciliar Seminary, Andrés Bello University of Viña del Mar and the branch of our house of studies.

The entrance is free.
