BAD PANDA Rugby Old from Monza organized their traditional veteran Tournament under the “new name”. . . PELOTA, PELOTA
Team manager Danilo sent the report for EVRA News, with the interesting photos . . .
Rainy Irish weather welcomes the teams to this first edition dedicated to our beloved teammate Alejandro, aka "Carpincho," who passed the ball last year.
He lived his youth years between Uruguay and Argentina and used to call the ball shouting "Pelota, Pelota" - usually, the ball rebounded against his breast, ending in a Knock-on.
Thank you Carpincho for remembering us to be "alive and kicking" under the rain . . .
After ten matches that the old men played fairly and enjoying themselves, the winner were...Orche Recco from Liguria.
They have been awarded the masterpiece "kick off" painted by our artist Andrea Carvelli.
Orche are to be back next year to put it up for grabs.
Last, but not least, Alessandro Mereu, proudly 70 -and not wearing special shorts once again, has been awarded as the Oldest Tournament Player.
Well done Alessandro, see everyone next October.
Danilo “Tàcc”-“Priscilla” Sartori
