Rugby League Kicks-Off, April
Plans are afoot for the kick off of the National Rugby League in April, according to the Secretary of the “Friends of Rugby”, Ntiense Williams.
Williams, who disclosed this in a statement in Lagos recently, said the “Friends of Rugby”would meet during the week to approve the programme for the 2011 season.
He said the league would be exended to other parts of the country following appeals from rugby fans in those parts that they should be included in the competition to give it a national spread.
He said no fewer than six clubs each from Lagos, the North and Niger Delta were expected to take part in the regional league with the top teams assembling for the national play-off for the championship.
The secretary said the League Board had been mandated to draw up a comprehensive National Rugby Union League programme of activities for the year.
