Greece and Canada emerged victorious from the first round of European U19s Shield matches, held at the CREPS Font Romeu high performance facility in the Pyrenees, France yesterday (Sunday).

Alex McGrath, who claimed 18 of Greece’s points, and Jonathon Armatas each registered two tries, the Greeks strong in the second half to win 38-22 after Ireland had led 14-6 at the break, Joseph Gill with two of their five tries along with a double from scrum half Finn Maguire.

Fullback Oliver Lenahan led the way for Canada with three tries and five goals on their debut in the competition as they beat Norway 46-32, Kristoffer Gradert with a brace of tries in response, Joshua Silverstone-Utheim with a try and four goals.

Canada head coach, Stephan Lenahan, commented: “We are so happy to be here and grateful for the opportunity for our players to showcase what we’re building in Canada. To get a win in that fashion is an unbelievable experience for the boys and coaching staff.”

Opposite number Joshua Hornby said: “I’m really proud of the boys, they gave everything, they’ve stepped up, really put their hands up and they are going to keep working hard for this tournament.”

European rugby league u19s championship format and fixtures announced

European Rugby League has confirmed the format and fixtures for the biennial U19s European Championship which will take place at the CREPS Font Romeu high performance facility in the Pyrenees, France in July.

A record ten nations will participate, split into two competitions.

The Championship will be contested by England, France, Scotland, Serbia, Ukraine and Wales – the five participants from the 2024 event in Belgrade and Wales who were the next best performing side in the 2022 event having missed the most recent tournament.

Canada together with Greece, Ireland, and Norway, who are all either new or returning after an absence from the tournament, will do battle for the European Shield, with the winner guaranteed promotion to the 2028 event.

Subject to the number of nations applying for that, there may be relegation from this season’s Championship.

“Having ten nations competing has been challenging in terms of formatting and logistics, but it has been a great problem to have, and I’m delighted to see the tournament continuing to grow,” commented ERL chair Dean Andrew.

In the Championship, the nations have been drawn into two groups of three based on results from the previous tournament.

England, as defending champions

England, as defending champions, are the first seed and are joined by Scotland (3) and Serbia (5) in Pool A. Hosts France are in Pool B as the second seed, with Ukraine (4) and Wales (6).

Each will play the three nations in the opposite group, with results merged into one league table and the first placed team awarded the Championship title. The Shield will see each nation play the other once, and the side which leads the league table on conclusion will take the trophy.

The matches will be played over three days, five per day, at the state-of-the-art sporting facility which will also see the squads stay on site.

The hosts open their campaign on Sunday 12 July against Scotland in a repeat of 2024’s feisty semi-final, whilst England face Ukraine in another semi-final repeat and Wales take on Serbia.

Round two

Round two on Wednesday 15 July sees England taking on Wales, Scotland face Ukraine and France do battle with Serbia.

The final round on Saturday 18 July, will see Serbia take on Ukraine and Scotland will be seeking to overturn Wales after losing recent clashes.

The final match will see France take on England in what could be a tournament decider, the previous three encounters between them having a margin of less than seven points.

In Pool B, on day one, Greece will make their debut against Ireland, while Norway come up against Canada, before Greece meet Canada in round two as Norway face Ireland. The final day will see Norway and Greece open the proceedings before Canada and Ireland do battle.

Andrew added: “Several of the nations have told me how important the tournament has been to both inspiring its youth players to work hard and achieve selection, but also to their player pathways into their senior teams.

“Thanks to early organisation by the French Rugby League Federation, we’ve been able to work further in advance to give them all greater preparation time than they have experienced in previous years and I’m very much looking forward to seeing the fruits of that on the field.”

European rugby league u19s championship tournament update

In response to issues beyond their control, the USA Rugby League management has informed European Rugby League of their intention to withdraw from the U19s Championship in France in July. The decision has been accepted by ERL without penalty.

Fortunately Canada have been able to amend their plans to tour Europe with an U19s squad.

Canada will now in the tournament at the Centre de Ressources, d’Expertise et de Performance Sportive (CREPS), Font Romeu in the Catalonian Pyrenees between 10 and 19 July 2026, which will provide them with a more comprehensive schedule and reduced logistics and costs.

“Whilst we are disappointed that USA will not be able to compete in the U19s Championship, I am very pleased that Canada are able to take their place,” said ERL chair Dean Andrew.

USA’s withdrawal has been handled professionally by their management, and we have been able to negotiate that smoothly to offer Canada the vacant space which becomes a great fit for them.

I’m very grateful to John Cameron and his team at CRLA for changing their plans and pleased that ERL is able to contribute to the development of international rugby league across the full scope of its membership.”

A further announcement with the tournament structure and fixtures will be made shortly.

In the two ranking games to complete the European U19s Championship in Belgrade, unlimited substitutions ensured that all squad members were given a run and to help counter the week’s considerable heat.

A hat trick try from USA centre Siaosi Koloamatangi two minutes from time ensured a 26-22 win over determined Ukraine, the conditions cooler after morning rain.

“We came here not knowing what to expect or how our boys would go but to win two of our three games is very pleasing,” said USA Young Hawks head coach, George Tupou.

This was a tough game

“This was a tough game but we managed to win it and this brings us a lot of attention and a hopefully a wider pool of talent, it’s getting our name out there.”

Ukraine lost influential Ryan Jurkans, who was injured in a tackle after the game’s opening break away in the first minute but they opened the scoring when Ryslan Lipisii created the space for Arsen Havdo to burrow his way over.

Drayson Moliga returned a penalty kick that failed to find touch half-way to spectacularly dive between the posts, giving Lidarius Moananu an easy shot on goal to nose USA in front.

Koloamatangi latched onto a sublime offload to move USA further ahead and added his second three minutes later, Michael Fonua converting the first.

Ihor Yefanov stepped and dummied his way into the corner for Ukraine to keep them in touch, adding a superb conversion from the touchline to make it 16-10 at the interval.

In the 45th minute, Popeliuk Valerii angled his run to the posts, Yefanov levelling, and Andrii Mordovanets capitalised on a USA mix up at the back from a kick for Vitaliy Bycharskyi to add an easy conversion.

Isaac Fonua hit back for USA on the hour mark, diving into the corner from brother Michael’s pass, but Moananu was unable to convert. Koloamatangi had the final word, just latching onto a kick into the in goal to settle the outcome, giving Chris Malo an easy shot on goal.

Yefanov was sent off for disputing the decision, leaving Ukraine shorthanded for the final two sets of a superb game.

Ukraine U19s coach, Ihor Yurkin, commented: “It was a great game, we tried our best throughout and even though we lost this – and the whole tournament – has been a great experience for our boys.”

After the tournament formalities, the Ukraniain squad left on a two day bus journey back home.

Scotland proved to be too strong in their final match, defeating hosts Serbia 56-0 in a contest not without controversy.

Jacob Grierson crossed for Scotland’s second try in the 12th minute but was then sent off for punching.

Serbia’s Sasa O’Flynn dispatched to the sin bin for his part in the incident which was also placed on report – but the Scots took the setback in their stride.

“It was an impressive win for the boys,” said Scotland U19 coach Mark Milnes.

It was a really gritty victory

‘It was a really gritty victory and great to see a lot of young lads make their debuts.

We have a development programme in place and hopefully this is the start of something.”

Frazer Murray opened the scoring before Grierson dropped the ball over line prior to his try and red card and, with both sides a man down, Tom Gray and Harry Roper went over, Michael Myles perfect with the boot.

With Serbia restored to 13 men they showed more promise and pressure, camping out on Scotland’s line for several sets but couldn’t make it pay, Bailey Schneider extending Scotland’s lead.

Centre Murray posted his brace a minute into the second half and Jack Suddick found his way to the line ten minutes later, Oli Brady on successful kicking duties.

A powerful run from 40m out by prop Isaac Reid added further points just after the hour mark, Isaac Jepson crossing on the next set.

Scotland’s tenth try came from a long Hayden Cumming break, Maxwell Shelton backing up for the touchdown.

Serbia coaching consultant, Darren Fisher, said: “It’s been a great competition overall and for our boys it’s been a great learning curve.

It’s been good to see us put some structure in our game as the competition went on. We’re pretty pleased despite the results.”

England to face France in European u19s Championship Final – reports

Holders England Community Lions will play France at the FK Radnicki Stadium, Belgrade on Saturday (kick off 6pm, local time) to decide the winners of the 2024 European U19s Championship.

It is a repeat of the 2022 decider in Italy which the Lions won 14-12, however, in the previous tournament – also held in the Serbian capital in 2018 – the French emerged victorious 26-24.

England qualified with a 52-4 win over Ukraine in the first semi final, posting nine tries, Marcus Geener and Daniel Knott both with doubles, on another swelteringly hot day.

“The scoreline doesn’t represent the hard work the Ukrainians put into that game,” said England U19s head coach Gary Hewer.

“It was extremely tough and they never stopped coming at us, they really dug deep and caused us several threats.

“We’ve worked hard on execution and taking our chances and that showed. We came with one aim, to win the tournament, and we’ve now got that opportunity.”

Ukraine led thanks to an early Ihor Yefanov penalty but England were 30-4 up at the break, the pick of their tries from scrum half Devan Sharp who showed three dummies to jink his way over.

To their enormous credit Ukraine kept England out for the third quarter but succumbed to three late long range tries.

Ukraine U19s head coach, Dan Beardshaw, commented:

“We were against a well-organised, experienced side who are so good at what they do but I’m so proud of the efforts of my players, especially in scramble defence.

“For 20 minutes of the second half the score was 0-0 and we caused them a lot of problems. Attacking-wise, we’re not yet smart enough but the boys are going to take huge experience from that for the next game.”

In the other semi final, France had to work incredibly hard to overcome a gallant Scotland side who were in contention until two minutes from time, when Wassim Mouelhi’s try and Mateo Jimenez-Lopez’s fifth conversion saw their side home 30-18.

“It was as competitive as we expected,” said France U19s head coach Remi Casty. “It was red hot and there was a lot of indiscipline and that is something we are going to have to change for the final.”

In a feisty clash, five players were sinbinned in all, three for the French who took a first minute lead through Giovanni Descalzi Ganthier. They were 16-6 in front at the break thanks to Yllan Mongay picking up a loose ball and Baptiste Pourchi pouching a clever kick to the corner, hooker Bailey Schneider replying for the young Bravehearts.

France eased out to a 16-point advantage at the start of the second half but quickfire touchdowns to Jacob Grierson and Oscar Ellicott-McCulloch set up the dramatic finish.

Scotland U19s head coach, Leigh Beattie, noted: “We knew it would be a tough ask, but we had a gameplan and we stuck to it very, very well. The desire and heart the lads showed was amazing and they deserve all the plaudits.”

USA Young Hawks

In the opening game of the day, USA Young Hawks, in their first tournament, finished fifth overall after defeating Serbia 40-12, scoring three tries in a blistering opening 14 minutes. George Tupou, USA Young Hawks head coach, said:

“Serbia are a big team but we had better preparation this time, came ready to play and the boys showed their desire out there.”

Logan Myers, Drayson Moliga and impressive stand off Chris Malo with the first of his hat trick all crossed inside a quarter of an hour, Filip Cirkovic stopping the onslaught with his score.

Two Malo tries in ten minutes after the break ensured the win, Edin Mehmedi restoring some pride for the hosts when he powered his way through to score between the posts.

“We were better than our last performance,” commented Serbia U19s head coach Vladislav Dedic. “We showed up, scored two good tries and battled through the heat.”

On Saturday’s finals day, USA will face Ukraine (kick off 2pm) and Serbia take on Scotland (kick off 4pm) in ranking matches before the final.

Scotland progress to u19s European Championship semi finals as USA debut

Scotland withstood an opening barrage from USA to progress to the semi finals of the 2024 European U19s Championship in a delayed tie at the FC Radnicki Stadium in Belgrade, winning 32-10.

The clash was held over because of travel difficulties after storms in the region and despite a 10.30am local time kick off, temperatures continued to swelter with only a light relieving breeze.

USA’s Young Hawks, in their first-ever outing, made a great impression especially early on but Scotland’s greater nous, displayed by their excellent spine, saw them home.

“It was a really enjoyable occasion despite the heat which affected handling a little for both sides,” said Scotland U19s head coach Leigh Beattie.

“The lads are already in the ice bath’s preparing for favourites France, they’ll be no lack of effort for that match.”

Scotland prop Isaac Reid had the first chance but spilt the ball on his way to the line.

The Hawks quickly growing into the contest and claiming the opening try when Drayson Moliga spectacularly dived into the left corner, Lidarius Moananu with a superb conversion from the touchline.

Scotland full back Hayden Cumming spotted a gap to respond from close in and his side went ahead soon after, Seth Clapham finishing a fine passing move to the left for the first of his brace of tries, Maxwell Shelton adding the extras.

Tries just before and after the break put the Scots in control, Jack Suddick on an overlap on the right before hooter and Clapham with his second at the start of the second period with another clinical finish.

Winger Isaac Jepson appeared to have added a further try shortly afterwards but Clapham’s pass was ruled forward.

Impressive Moananu crashed over for USA

Impressive Moananu crashed over for USA out wide just after the hour to keep them in contention, but he pushed his conversion attempt wide.

The Hawks sent a kick out on the full and then compounded the error with a goal line drop also heading over the touchline allowing Shelton to establish a 12-point lead from the penalty.

Jepson gained his reward cleaning up Clapham’s offload and the best was saved until last with loose forward Tom Gray’s excellent long-range midfield break completing the try scoring, Shelton with his fourth successful shot at goal.

George Tupou, USA Young Hawks head coach, commented:

“I’m really proud of the boys in their first competitive performance. It was the first time they’ve played as a team. A couple of silly mistakes at play the balls cost them but we made history.

A little bit of lack of experience showed but Scotland played well, they knew how to capitalise.”

Scotland will now face France in the second semi final on Wednesday at 6pm (local time), while USA will take on hosts Serbia in the 5th v 6th play-off match at 2pm on the same day.

Ukraine defeat Serbia in 2024 European u19s championship opener

In searing heat Ukraine defeated Serbia 24-4 at the FK Radnicki Stadium, Belgrade in the first quarter final of the 2024 European U19s Championship. The Ukrainians led 16-0 at the break and Ryan Jurkans’ try just before the hour sealed a merited win.

“It’s a terrific result for us, the boys got what they deserved,” said Ukraine U19s head coach Dan Beardshaw.

“It was tough conditions, the boys have understandably not had much time together and made huge sacrifices to go into camp. They are great people with a wonderful work ethic and love wearing their badge.

It’s a young squad, there are some 17-year-olds in it and still a work in progress, but they just want to learn and are keen for rugby league.

A tournament like this is really exciting for them.”

Early pressure from Ukraine was turned into points as centre Klim Malyshev finished a passing move on the left hand side, Ihor Yefanov adding the conversion.

The conditions meant understandable errors, Serbia’s Luka Bojicic bundled into touch as he made a break for the hosts.

Ukraine extended their lead when hooker Arsen Havdo dived out of dummy-half and emphasising their early dominance, prop Maksym Harmash crashed through as half time approached.

Serbia began the second period strongly, hooker Filip Nesic burrowing over from close in to get them on the board, but Jurkans exploited left edge again for the game breaking score, Vitalii Bycharskyi adding a towering conversion from the touchline.

Yefanov kicked a late penalty to extend the margin of victory.

Serbia U19 head coach, Vladislav Dedic, commented:

“It was tough but our boys showed that they could defend. We made some errors on attack and that, ultimately, cost us the game.

We had some positives and will be better for the rest of the tournament.”

Ukraine will now face England’s Community Lions in the first semi-final on Wednesday (kick off 4pm local time), while Serbia will next play the loser of tomorrow’s rearranged quarter-final between Scotland and USA in a ranking game.

Andrei Marinkovic replied for the young Serbs.

England U19s coach, Gary Hewer, noted:

“We handled the conditions very well, our completion rates were high which was reflected in the score line. Fair credit to the Serbians who are inexperienced at this level, they stuck at it.”

European rugby league u19 championship semi finals decided

Following the tragic passing of assistant coach Gary McMahon at the U19s European Championship in Udine, Italy over the weekend, the England team has decided to take up their place in the semi finals against Wales tomorrow (Tuesday), in tribute to him.

Tournament director, David Butler, said: “We have worked with the England Community Lions squad to ensure they receive the necessary support after such devastating news including from Steve McCormack, director of welfare for Rugby League Cares, who is here with them in Italy.”

The Community Lions finished second after Saturday’s pool stages, which included a 14-4 win over the Welsh.

England’s performances improved throughout the day, whilst Mark Jones’ men only conceding 40 points in their six matches.

Ukraine booked a berth in the semi finals after recording an historic win over Ireland, while also dispatching Italy and Serbia.

Having received a standing ovation from the Pasian Di Prato crowd before taking the field for their first game, Oleksandr Levandovskyi’s kicking proved crucial against the Irish, converting both Yevhen Checheta and Ivan Lipisii’s tries to edge them ahead as the whistle went.

“It was a super Saturday for us,” said Artur Martyrosian, president of the Ukraine Federation of Rugby League.

“We are rubbing shoulders with the top teams in youth rugby league in Europe.

I am very proud of all our players who worked so hard to get here and all day to secure great results. We will continue to prepare well and do our best.”

Ukraine’s opponents will be holders France, who dominated the day conceding only one try scored by Andy Djeukam of England throughout their six 20-minute games, as head coach Eric Anselme rotated his squad.

The European Plate will be contested between Ireland, Italy and Serbia who will meet each other in 40-minute games tomorrow, with a further round of fixtures on Saturday, the top of the table nation being crowned the winner.

Ireland will go into it as favourites following valiant performances against England and Wales.

Hosts Italy will be hoping that their win over Serbia, which included a Davide Saita brace, will be a platform that they can improve from.

Serbia are looking for their first win, with Darren Fisher’s side looking to use the longer-format games to gain some momentum.

European u19s Championship Squads Confirmed

European u19s Championship

The squads for the European Rugby League U19s Championship, set to kick off on Saturday 3 September in the Udine region, Italy, have been announced by the seven competing nations.

There will be three days of action, starting with each nation playing the other in 20-minute games to rank the teams.

The top four will then contest the Championship semi-finals on Tuesday 6 September (80-minute games), whilst the teams ranked 5th to 7th will play each other once in 40-minute clashes on both Tuesday 6 and Saturday 10, with the highest placed team in the three-way competition being presented the European Plate.

The Championship Finals take place on Saturday 10 September (kick off at 18.00 local time), preceded by the Shield final (at 16.00), contested by the losing semi-finalists.

“Excitement is building within the squads who are gearing up for their departures on Thursday 1 September, and they are understandably excited about coming into camp in Lignano Sabbiadoro,” said ERL general manager, David Butler.

“We are looking forward to some very competitive games, but we are already seeing some excellent examples of collaboration between the nations who all share the common goal of growing rugby league across the continent.

It is fantastic to see Ukraine able to take up their spot.”

Defending champions France have included South Sydney backrower and the Rabbitohs U19’s player of the year Louis Grossemy in their squad.

“South Sydney are very supportive of the international game and when Louis came to us and said he had an opportunity to play for France we gave him the thumbs up,” Souths pathways manager Joe O’Callaghan said.

“We believe it is a great opportunity for him to play for France.

He is only 19 and doesn’t know any of his team-mates, so we think it will be great for his development to get that experience. We think very highly of Louis and when he comes back he will have a pre-season with the NRL squad.”

Wales have picked Gethin Thomas from Freemantle Roosters and Serbia included Parramatta’s Vlado Jankovic, and there are number of players across the squads linked to Super League academy sides.
