Just had a quick read through the posts guys and it's sounds like some good things are happening up there in Serbia..I am really pleased to here the good news..I hope the have a great season and good luck to them in their future endevours...Like i said i am very pleased for them.. ;DGo Serbia, and go the young fellow who has been granted a visa..Hope he makes it to the bigtime one day. ;D

For many, serbia are the other IRK team that we support... the work that these guys have done over the last 10 years to get a stable viable comp going,,, not only a league, but a cup comp, university comp, and Juniors is fantastic... I reguylarly say that the Sebian Model should be copied... its done on a shoe string budget in the past and yet has achieved so much. To be up there and considered a 2nd tier team it fantastic... I really hope they can stuff a couple of the big teams this year

It's been a while since I was here last time (family obligations, holidays, etc.).
Thanks for the support, first of all!
Next, about Soni, he is still in Serbia, waiting to go to Whitehaven. He is so devoted and hard worker, so the offer for trial is natural reward for his efforts on the field. I'm just afraid if something move worse with this visa/work permit issue, it could be hard hit for him, although he is very calm and still right now. He keeps training with his club Dorcol Spiders and is in very good shape.

The second is actually a question for Druzik: Where did you get an info about Serbia v Ireland A match. I saw that only here, and there's a few words in roughyedspud's post at LeagueUnlimited's forum. I asked Jovan Vujosevic, our man in RLEF comitees and he didn't know anything abouot it, so I would like to know if that is reliable or not. You can send me that in PM if you don't want to uncover your source in public.

Rugby league world Magazine... had a lift out of the years international fixtures... I figures if they had it it must have come through official channels.

OK, thanks!

Serbian RL web-site is now on new location (due to change of national internet domain): www.ragbiliga.rs (it is much easier in Serbian language to explain this address than the old one, "ragbi liga" is Serbian translation of "rugby league").

SERBIAN STUDENT SEASON UNDERWAYþ
Sunday 15th March 2009

The opening matches have been played in this season’s Serbian Student Rugby League competition, the precursor to the country’s domestic campaign.

Five sides, all based around Budapest University – one of the largest in Eastern Europe, with a student population of 90,000 – have taken to the field in 2009, an increase of two on the inaugural season last year.

In the opening clash, defending champions FAK (Philosophy Academic Club) beat newcomers FON (Faculty for Organization Sciences), 20-12. Centre Bozovic scored the first try of the year for FAK within a minute of the start at the University Sport Center, FON prop Vukovic replying. Full back Stanic gave FAK a 10-6 half time lead which was extended with touchdowns by Dajc and stand off Susnjara. FON had the final say with a consolation score for full back Zujic.

In the second game, a late try for Stamenic meant that PF (Faculty of Law) defeated FPN (Faculty for Political Sciences), 10-6 after the sides had been level at the break. Centre Planojevic opened the scoring for FPN, loose forward Kovacevic replying for the eventual winners.

David Bakic, director of Serbian Rugby League student competition, commented “We hope that we will improve our performance and that we will have more universities who will play rugby league in future.”

“At moment we have around 100 or more students who are registered to play. Serbia is small country and we have just seven state owned universities and four or five private institutions.”

“We wish to thank Hainault Bulldogs and Huddersfield Underbank Rangers, two clubs from the UK, who donated equipment for our sides.”

The student season lasts for five weeks and the other side involved are SF (Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering).

Cool, excellent. I assume spider sent you over?

Thanks for the updates and I assume you'll keep us informed about future events with the studnets.

Can you tell us how the university team for the championshpis and cup is selected? Is it the winning faculty that represents it or is it a selection of the best players from all the faculties?

[Druzik]

David, just so that I dont make any mistake, which faclty correspons to which abbreviations and what were the round 1 results.

I am updating now, and some things are not fitting in.

[david]

Belgrade university team is selected out of best players from five faculties. Players are selected based on their performance in university competition by commission of five team representatives from each faculty.
