FPN XIII is team of students of faculty of Political Sciences in Belgrade, and it is the first students team in Serbia. Čekićar Niš (Hammers) were dark horses of the competition whose goal was to make Rugby League popular in the southern Serbia, but unfortunately they had to withdraw from the competition due to unforeseen circumstances after three rounds. Final match brought intense game, but the champions Spiders clinched the title again.
