Cyprus Rugby Update – Cyprus v Israel
Cyprus to host Israel this coming Saturday 12th November 2022 @ 11:00 UK time (13:00 local)
Our Mighty Mouflons will host Israel at the new location in Larnaca. The game will be played at the Maroni Community Stadium. Last season’s game finished in a narrow defeat; our boys will be hoping to build upon the emphatic victory over Slovenia at the start of the season.
This year’s competition will feature Bulgaria, Cyprus, Slovenia, Malta and Israel.
Should Cyprus win this game they will go top of the division above current leaders Bulgaria who were relegated to this division from Trophy division.
Cyprus have had an easier start to the season playing what are deemed to be the weaker nations of this division. Malta and Bulgaria are the teams that will challenge our boys who will be very much up for both games.
