The RC CMSG senior team has officially been recognised by the FSR as LNB 2008-9 Champions!

Well done to the team, and all associated with this fantastic achievement! Two days before the end of the championship and we cannot be overtaken. With a 109-0 victory over Zug, RC CMSG has cemented its position at the top of the league, and in all associated statistics (tries, points for and against).

We would also like to thank all our fans and supporters who regularly come to our games!

The final game of the regular season is this saturday, May 16th V Rugby Lugano, the only team to have beaten us this year in the league – A huge game! (RC CMSG home pitch, kickoff at 3pm).
Our playoff semi final in order to gain access back into LNA will take place at home on saturday 20th June at 3pm, and if we go through, the final will also take place at home, on saturday 27th of June at 3pm.

Again, congratulations to all!

Not only did we win our last two home games (V Neuchâtel 33-5 – 5 tries, and V Fribourg 50-6 – 8 tries), we picked up bonus points in both, and fielded a second team for the first time V Fribourg (who also won by 8 tries to 2). A great achievement, we are hoping to repeat this as soon as possible!
This start of season was very promising and we’re looking forward to building on this momentum when the league restarts on March 21st 2009 (at home v Basel at 3pm). In between now and then we will be practicing outdoors until Christmas, with a small beak for new year, and then into the gym for a month in January. We will have a couple of practice games against French and Swiss teams scheduled for late February, early March.

On the statistics front, the league table says it all (http://www.rugby.ch/index.php?id=65):

  • Played 9 games, Won 8, Lost 1
  • 5 offensive bonus points scored, 1 defensive bonus taken
  • 53 tries scored (More than double anyone else in LNB), 9 tries against
  • 348 points scored, 77 against
  • Total LNB points: 38

Looking forwards to the second half of the season!
