Estonia

[Druzik]

Have asked John Slade of Estonis Rugby League to come on here occasionally to let us know whats going on up there.

These press releases from John Slade at Estonian Rugby.
I'll probably try and contribute something to this.

Dear Friends

Its time to put on paper what has happened over the last decade, so if you have any content such as the German/Austrian/Latvian games and feel its funny or a good read please send it off.The 1999-2009 book will include all the RL news stories, with The Earl of Carlise putting it together and published making buckets of money for the kiss and tell stories?

Best as ever

John

France has the least English speaking children in Europe and now that the English language is the dominant European language, the French education dept decided to follow Coach Slade by teaching sports lessons in all its schools in English.Its well over ten years since Coach Slade explained this method to the Estonian schools by bringing in Tag Rugby, and its been the reason why Estonian children are far more capable with their English and better placed in the recession finding jobs world wide, than there French counter parts. Learning English with sport for children is fun and certainly far more interesting and Tag Rugby with Coach Slade is really exciting.

Estonia RL season kicks off

Estonia RL has a full season planned with away games with Ukraine and Latvia, a series of 9s tournaments with invites going to Norway and Sweden. Estonia and Latvia are playing several club games which will allow those who wish to have a go at RL. Narva will have a rugby summer camp which has in the past attracted large numbers from the surrounding towns.

I received this email from the Estonian Rugby League the other day.

"I have been getting nothing from RLEF only wait and see. We are doing our best to get money for the Swedish 9s which is my priority for April. I feel its make or break this year, unless more help is provided its back to union. They are being given money/kits/tours we cant compete with this."

I hope it doesn't come to this.
