The Italians (FIRFL) have rated their recent pioneering Kenyan International Tour “a great experience” and “a good test for our growth”, commented the National Rugby League Technical Commissioner Tyrone Sterry after the international match last Friday against Kenya.
The match, played at Watamu in front of around five thousand enthusiastic and warm spectators, saw the Africans take the victory for 34-24: for the home team tries went to 2 for Otieno and Shibadu and one to Hassam, Mose and Kisaka with three conversions to Limo. For the Azzurri, instead, the try scorers were Massafra, Bianco, Maionchi, D’Aquila and Staccone with two conversions to Ippoliti.
"Kenya is a great formation with great technical growth and tactics – said Sterry – as you can see from the progress achieved in rugby union and rugby 7’s. The Africans have great physicality, as it was easily imaginable, but our guys gave their maximum effort with managing to make good tackles. Among other things, given the player commitments in Serie A (rugby union) and Eccellenza (pro), we had a slightly altered team, but this international has better served to understand the level of many of our guys, and we're satisfied with what we saw.”
“The technical aspect of the African trip was as important as the social aspect. There was a wonderful atmosphere at the playing field – confirms Sterry – and I have to thank the local authorities for the hospitality we had received, which the Federazione Italiana Rugby Football League thought was perfect organisation of the event and the trip. These are things that are very good for the growth of our movement, but are not limited to: I think that everyone of us will feel this was something special after this experience in Kenya, in a charming place and having contact with a population with so many problems, but are very generous. "
Today, the Azzurri group will return to Italy after all kinds of aid was given to the Watamu orphanages: adding value to a trip that is really, unforgettable for all the Federleague movement.
The following is the highlights and news coverage from major national tv company Kenya Citizens TV:
Mattpoet I have stumbled across an article with the Philippines scorers from the match v Latin Heat:Scooter wrote:Mattpoet I got a bit bored and watched the Latin Heat v Philippines match on line again. Below are the scorers as per my watching of the game, not the official scorers. I still haven't been able to find a list of scorers anywhere. I am confident I have about 85 or 90% of the scorers correct:
Philippines Tries: Dennis Gordon 5, Will Dreves 4, Blaze Gonzales 3, Jeremiah Alimpulos 2, Steven Tolo 2, Carlo Alinboyong, James Webb, Glen Power, Jason Dreves & Scott Sandaga. Goals: Will Dreves 15/21
Although the commentators called Sheedy for a try it definitely wasn't him. He had a number of try assists.
Tries: Dennis Gordon 4, Will Dreves 4, Carlo Alinboyong 4, Blayze Gonzales 3, Steven Tolo 2, Scott Sandaga, Glenn Power, James Webb, James Marcus. Goals: Will Dreves 15/21
So I got approx 81% of the try scorers correct. I got Alinboyong and Alimpulos mixed up a couple of times.

Germany defeated Netherlands 70-16 in the first international in Europe of the year. Played in Delft, the first part of a triangular series also including Belgium, the match doubled as a farewell to Dan Stocks, the departing coach of the German national team. And it was quite a farewell as the more experienced visitors ran in 12 tries to Holland's three.
"Even though it was not the result we were after, the stronger side won and won easily," said the Netherlands' Jason Bruygoms. "But the big winner was the development of rugby league in the two neighbouring countries. As a young team, the game was a wake up call and proof that we are still in the early stages of development, but we are heading in the right direction. The game is something that we will break into peices and build from and hopefully improve before we meet Belgium next month."
German team manager Bob Doughton said, "The core German players put in some wonderful performances - the best they have done in the last six years of their development."
Belgium's Yves Kazadi refereed the match in another first for international rugby league.
