Veneto 9s

Veneto 9s

Veneto 9s is a rugby league nines tournament held annually in Monselice, Italy. It is the main event of Italian rugby league and has been running since 2006. The tournament, which is attended by teams all over Europe is held at the Stadio Plebiscito, a 9,000 seater stadium.

Recently it has been known as the Simone Franchini tournament in honour of one of the leading figures in Italian Rugby League. After playing in France and Australia for the North Sydney Bears he died of a heart attack during a match in November 2005. It was brother Tiziano who launched the tournament in his home town.

In 2006 the South Africa national team, BARLA, Spanish Origin and local Italian and French teams competed.

In 2007 eight teams competed with BARLA beating off Italy national rugby league team, Lyon Villeurbanne, Nanterre, Corbeil and Southgate College as well as some local teams.

The 2008 tournament will take place on 14th of June. It is hoping to attract television coverage and has already received extra funding from the local council, the Comune di Padova. The UK was represented by two BARLA representative teams A + B as well as London Skolars third team; France sent teams from Corbeil, Salses and Isle de France and there was a team from Germany Bad Reichenhall. Two Italian teams also took part Italy and Amici di Simone. There were three groups of three with four teams going to the final and the rest playing out a bowl final.
