10 Years On: Celebrating the 2013 Malaga Tour with Matlock RUFC and Tupton RUFC Combined Vets 2023

Image
Get ready to feel the excitement as we look back at the epic showdown between Club Deportivo Axarquia Rugby and their opponents MRUFC and TRUFC during the thrilling 2023 Tour in the sunny city of Malaga!  The match took place on the 15th of July, marking the 10th anniversary of the unforgettable 2013 tour in the same location. The field was set at La Caleta, situated in the eastern part of the city, and the heat was intense, with temperatures soaring to 30 degrees under the blazing sun. Both teams were a mix of youth and experience, with players ranging from 21 to late 50s. As the game began, it was apparent that the sandy, dusty, and rock-hard pitch would not make things easy for either team. The tension was palpable as the players battled it out on the field in a fierce and challenging match. Despite the tough conditions, MRUFC and TRUFC managed to emerge victorious in the end, although determining the precise score proved to be a challenge... Following the game, presentations we...

It's only 5 weeks until The Cleaning Show in London on the 10th-12th March 2015. This morning, we had a suprising email confirming that one of the guest motivational speakers this year would be none other than ex-Rugby legend Kyran Bracken. Personally, I remember him more from the Dancing on Ice glory days but maybe that speaks more about my age and gender than Kyrans' talent!

Don't forget you can find us at Stand A11 at The Cleaning Show 2015, London Excel between 10-12th March! See you there!

Italy Tour 2012 Morclean are proud to sponsor the Matlock Rugby Club! We had a small catch up upon their return to the UK. Forty members of Matlock Rugby Club went on a four day stay in Lido di Jesolo, just outside of Venice. They had a long and arduous coach ride to Gatwick Airport to fly to Venice for some Rugby action.  They actually played two matches against local opposition. The first they travelled to by boat, (see below!) to win Lido di Venexia RC 21-27. The second match was also triumphant, verus  RC Silea,  with a  comfortable win of 7-62. Well done boys! The reason for the tour was that it was actually a lengthy 6 years since the previous tour, when the team went to Majorca. It's a end-of-season tradition that the team want to bring back to full force! The tour really brought the team together, and as you can see from the pictures, there's more that a little camaraderie! The Final night of the tour sa...
