The West Coast Vikings once again managed to reach the top end of the group stages by beating the Finnish national side in their first game on the saturday. Quite a resounding performance that finished 24-7. This was quite an achievement considering Finland are now playing at Grand prix level. the next game would be a bridge too far, taking on the Dutch national side. A top quality side that would eventually go on to beat China to make the finals of the Amsterdam 7s, the We

For the third year in a row, the Gothenburg ladies International touring squad will be heading over to the Amsterdam 7's to pitch up against some top sides in Europe. To kick off saturdays matches the squad will play newcomers to Grand prix Sevens, Finland, who managed to beat the Sweden National ladies in sudden death to get their Grand Prix status. Second on the bill are the Windmills who are apparently the Dutch National squad under a different name. The Dutch have been co

Sunday was a great rugbyday at our Club House. We hosted the 4:th MiniRugbyFestival in the region and we had teams from U8 to P14 showing their skills. Our Youth Section has grown over the last two years and yesterday we had two U12 teams on the pitch. Our U8 group has also grown and they will surely contribute for the club in the future. Our goal for the last three years has been simple. Make the players Feel at home when they are down. Build on that family feeling. This has

After a long day of sevens at Lexby IP the GRF mens squad secured a top four placing to ensure a place at the SMVeckan in Norrköping in July. The first game against Pingvin RC would be fought in damp conditions and despite doing every right and having a very good performance, unforced errors gave the victory to PRC, late in the second half. Pingvin RC would build on this victory and go on to win the final against Vänersborg RK after pulling back a 3 try deficit to win the f

This weekend the club will be heading over to the other side of town and to Partille where Spartacus RUFC will host round two of the ladies sevens qualifier and the semi-finals for the Mens qualification towards the Swedish SM finals that will be held in Norrköping during the SMVeckan in july. For the men (silver medalists last year),after two rounds the top three teams, Vänersborg, Spartacus and Gothenburg ended up on exactly the same points. This sunday and those very te

The first Gothenburg derby match would be played at the GRF pitch in Välen, Where the Amazing happens..and it did..for the opposition that is.. Weather was hot and sunny with a slight breeze. By all accounts both teams were missing players for this first derby match and that would be fairly obvious in the 80 minutes of match time. The first half would see the visitors dominating Gothenburgs half in just about every facet. Using the age old kicking game to pin Göteborg bac

Today our U10, U12 and a handfull of P14 (they played with Vänersborg) went to Borås Rugby Football Club for the 3:rd MiniRugbyFestival. Another great day filled with good rugby. Our teams played well. An extra mention to Lancelot in te P14. He scored, he tackled, he was everywhere! Borås also had their own referees down so we, the coaches, didn't have to take care of that. Thanks alot Borås and Thanks to all the parents that drove. #GRF #GRFU10 #Rugby #U12

Unfortunately due the dates clashing, the swedish National side ladies will be playing in a Series A clash whilst the rest of the clubs will be playing the SM Vecka. As this is televised it has proven to be a huge boost for Swedish rugby. With the latest results reported around the country and considering those players who wont make the SMVecka, it will be exciting to see who eventually makes the finals. With GRF ladies only losing a couple of players and with last years fin

A bumper week of training was followed up by a bumper weekend of results. For a start, the senior mens and ladies squads headed up to Skövde for the first qualification round of the Sevens Swedish Championship. If either teams want to make it all the way to the SM veckan in Norrköping, the qualifiers are the starting point! The weather would be a mixture of sun, rain, sleet, snow and all played on a pitch as hard as the elements. But a great set up by skövde, with live str

Great kick off with U10 and U12 today! It was good to see some old faces down at the club and we also had some new players that loved it. We were 22 players (plus B14/B16) and still we were missing 12. The youth section has grown with almost 25% during the winter but still we want more😃! Just look at all the happy faces.
