Brothers on a Winning Streak | IEU Rugby Club Madrid | The Stork A family tradition, an accident or a simple hobby. Those are the different reasons that each and every one of us got into this sport, we are bound by it.

Hi gents,

I hope all of you are ready for another season but this time in a higher league !
Although our first game is the 29th of September, new players from any degrees are still welcome to join ! We need a maximum of players as the season will be long with a high turnover due to internships, exchanges or injuries, so it is definitely a unique opportunity!

Here are the important infos to know :

- Trainings: Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 to 10pm. A bus, provided by IE, will be leaving from Calle Pedro de Valdivia 21 (just behind IE Undergrads building) at 7:30pm

- Games : 3/month on average, Saturdays or Sundays to be confirmed at the beginning of each weekend

See you on the pitch 💪🏼🔥

After beating Arquitectura, the boys lost last weekend against our direct rival, Torrelodones Rugby Club. This defeat, helped by a lot of injured players and thus only one sub, means that Torrelodones will be winning the league followed by us in 2nd position. Since Veterinaria canceled the game this weekend, we will play our last Tercera league game next weekend against Sanse Scrum, before planning our first year in Segunda division!

Last weekend, we secured a gap of 15pts between us 1st and the third of the league thanks to a large victory against Aeronáuticos Rugby Madrid. Looks like we are on our way ...🔜

Great victory for the team last weekend! Early tries made us secure the win easily to continue our path to the promotion.
Tomorrow's game will be really important and winning can get us a comfortable difference with the 3rd of the league who lost today, meaning a huge step towards the promotion! Let's go IE!

Last weekend our team, unfortunately, broke the win streak by drawing against Sanse Scrum Rugby, with many players missing for different reasons. We were really disappointed but the IE Campus clash Rugby game on Wednesday brought us back to victory and make us now focused on the playoffs as we want to get promoted.
Let's forget this weekend and maintain full commitment to achieve our objectives!

Work in progress ⏳

IEU & IE Rugby team is on the cusp on beating a Spanish Rugby Record this weekend. If they win by more than 20 points this weekend, they would be the first team in Spanish Rugby history to go undefeated with bonus points at every game during the regular season. Let us all show our support for this great accomplishment in their next game vs XV Sanse Scrum B this Sunday January 27 at 12:30 in Campo de Sanse (Polideportivo Municipal Dehesa Boyal - avd. Navarrondan s/n). There will be a bus available at Madrid Campus, Pedro de Valdivia, for players and fans. GO Rugby Club!!!

Last Sunday 13th of January, the boys won a critical game against Club Rugby Toledo, third of the league. We are still undefeated and it has been a real satisfaction wining this game with such number of tries as our team slightly changed from the first semester due to exchanges. Keep it up guys !

Last Sunday 2nd of December, our university organized the IE Rugby fan day to support us for the sort of final against Torrelodones, co leading the league with us.

Thanks to the huge support from the IE Community and good rugby skills, we won this game and we are now first in the league alone ! The support from students significantly helped us to secure the win in this really important game.

Thanks a lot to everyone who came, and shoutout to Torrelodones Rugby Club for their amazing spirit, during and after the game at the tercer tiempo. Here are the highlights and pictures of the game :
