Hello rugby fans, I'd like to introduce myself, Yiğit "La Bombonera" Özen. Rugby is a sport which is newly-blooming here in Turkey. As Kadıköy Rugby Club, me and my teammates, together we are the future of this sport here in this country because we're the youngest and only the 2nd rugby club ever. (1st as officially founded)
The other Rugby club is Istanbul Ottomans, (www.istanbulottomans.com) formed 4 years ago by a group of close-to-middle-age Turkish, New Zealander and Frenchmen. Most of them are still playing nowadays.
Our club, Kadıköy Rugby is younger, and much more passionate to learn and show every aspect of Rugby play. We're currently on the verge of being connected to the joint-federation of rugby, baseball, softball and American football of Turkey.
Kadıköy Rugby was formed some 7 months ago with 15 young Turkish bravehearts and has expanded its population from then. We're still in search of sponsorships and support. We are keen to make this great sport known nationwide and persuade more people to join this world. When we first began rugby 7 months ago, we didn't even know how to catch the ball or how to pass, but after 7 months, we were very surprised to see that we've improved a lot. Now we smash each other down to the ground with tackles, try to apply passing plays amongst the backs and do professional Rugby drills in training. Although it's quite hard to foresee, we all hope that Turkey will have a national Rugby team that which we'll play for, before we all have to retire. For this kind of improvement to be real, things should be moving really fast, we need to find sponsors, supporting fellow rugby clubs, so all are welcome if you want to have a fellow rugby club that you want to support.
