Last weekend, the RCK men and women teams had the pleasure of participating in this year's Bishop's Cup in St. Gallen, an international 10s rugby tournament. The event featured teams from Switzerland, Germany, Czech Republic, and Italy, making for a thrilling two days of rugby action, despite some rainy weather.
The RCK men teamed up with our friends from the Bishop's, continuing our regular season partnership. Saturday saw us putting up a solid fight, achieving two strong draws against the Lemon's Team and the Blue Barbarians. However, we faced tough losses against the Black Unicorn Sevens and the Hausen Baboons. On Sunday, we played our hearts out and ended up in 10th place out of 15 teams after a nail-bitingly close match against the Lemon's team, that was unfortunately lost.
The RCK women, joining forces with the Cindies from St. Gallen and their friends from Rottweil, faced a challenging Saturday with losses in all their games. However, we came back with determination on Sunday, securing two impressive victories against Würenlos and the Zürich Valkyries. These victories earned us a respectable 5th place out of 8 teams.
We also had a fantastic weekend off the pitch while meeting old friends and making new friends during some well deserved drinks after the games and a great costume party on Saturday.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to St. Gallen for hosting such a wonderful event. Despite the weather, we had an amazing time and are already looking forward to next year’s tournament.
