Union Cup, London, May 2009

The Spartans competed in the third Union Cup, run by the European Union Gay Rugby Association and hosted by the King Cross Steelers in London. They played against the Dublin Emerald Warriors, the Steelers and a Barbarians team in the group stage. In what was an incredibly hard-fought match, with a large crowd of enthusiastic supporters, the Spartans were narrowly beaten by the Steelers (3-0) in the final. It was indeed a tough season for the club but the Union Cup tour managed to bring everyone together again to have fun and play excellent rugby. After a tough season in the league this end-of-season tour was also a chance to party and help renew some pride in the team's bond and Spartans spirit!
