France, England and Wales pick up wins in opening round of European U19s Championships

England, France and Wales made impressive starts to the U19s European Championship in the first round of matches held at the CREPS Font Romeu high performance facility in the French Pyrenees yesterday (Sunday).

Full back Eligh Wilkinson scored a first half hat trick and landed seven goals as holders England defeated Ukraine 70-8, Rio Walker and Zac Bennett each with two of their total of 14 tries. England head coach, Gary Hewer, commented:

“The boys have responded really well to the hot conditions and given a thorough performance against a very resilient Ukraine side who never stopped for the full 80 minutes.

“From a coaching point of view, it’s disappointing to concede a try but the effort and determination that the Ukrainians put in, and with the friendship and bonds we’ve created over the last four or five years, they deserved it.”

Hewer added: “We’ll utilise the whole squad over our group games but some of them put their hands up today showing what they can offer.”

Hooker Cruz Death claimed Ukraine’s late try, head coach Artur Martyrisian, noted: “It was a good experience for our team. We have not had a lot of time to train together and set aside our domestic championship because so many players are in the army.

“Great thanks to our heritage players because, without them, we might not have been able to participate.”

Leny Stacul was the French star with four tries as they beat Scotland 96-6. The host nation crossed 16 times in all, back rower Adrian De La Rose with a try treble, Thibault Guttierez kicking a perfect 15 conversions.

Scotland were reduced to 12 men in the 36th minute following a sending off.

In the third match, Wales held on to deny Serbia 52-30, Regan Preece with three tries and Kevan Phillips claiming 24 points from two tries and eight out of nine goals.

Wales head coach, Gary Dunn said of the victory: “I was pleased with the result more than the performance, there are loads of aspects to improve on.

“There were some good individual tries, and I can’t fault any of the effort, but we need to analyse this before we face England on Wednesday, Serbia were a little unknown to us.”

Serbia had three players sinbinned, scrum half Tyson Walker with two of their tries and a total of 18 points.

“I’m proud of the boys, both domestic and heritage players,” noted head coach Vladislav Dedic.

“We had to rally dig deep against a good side. The sinbins harmed us but when it was 13 on 13, we were the better side. We need to work on our discipline.”

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 expands to 10 nations

The fourth European Rugby League U19s Championship will expand to a record ten nations when it takes place at the Centre de Ressources, d’Expertise et de Performance Sportive (CREPS), Font Romeu in the Catalonian Pyrenees between 10 and 19 July 2026.

Norway and Greece will make their tournament debuts, while Wales and Ireland return to the Championship after last competing in 2022 in Italy. Then, Wales achieved a bronze medal in the Championship and Ireland were crowned Shield champions.

Rugby League Norge president, Anne Haigh, commented: “We have been developing our youth programme for some time and played several games at both U16s and U19s already. It is time that we tested ourselves in a competitive environment and give our youth players the opportunity to experience such big a tournament. We’re very much looking forward to travelling to France and being part of the event.”

“Its great news for the Greek Rugby League Federation that we are able to move forward and compete in the European Rugby League U19s Championship in 2026,” said GRLF official,

Terry Liberopoulos. “We are aiming to further progress and become full members of International Rugby League, and a key part depends on the growth of our youth programme. Having the opportunity to represent their country will be a massive motivator for the young people playing rugby league in Greece.”

The quartet join reigning champions England, hosts France, Scotland, Serbia, Ukraine and USA, the young Hawks continuing their participation from the 2024 tournament in Belgrade when they made their bow, the Americas coming under ERL jurisdiction.

France won the 2018 tournament with a narrow 26-24 victory over England in the final but were beaten 14-12 in 2022’s decider by England, the English going on to become back-to-back champions in 2024 after coming from behind against France to triumph 15-8.

“I’m very pleased that we have been able to grow the competition to ten nations,” said ERL chair Dean Andrew.

“The appetite for youth rugby league in Europe is growing and each of the competing nations is built on the back of active youth programmes in the respective countries showing that they are on solid foundations and thinking about their future supply of players.

The U19s Championship is always an exciting event and adding a further dimension to it with new competitors will generate even more interest.”

The format and fixtures for the European Rugby League U19s Championships will be confirmed in early 2026.

Euro u19s team of the tournament announced

The organisers of the 2024 European Rugby League U19s Championship, held in Serbia capital Belgrade, have praised the competing teams for their contribution to a successful tournament, while also announcing the competition’s Dream Team.

Selected by ERL coaching manager Martin Crick, the side recognises performances over all of the matches. All the selected players were presented a trophy to recognise their achievement.

England retained the title after a thrilling 15-8 victory over France in the Championship decider. ERL general manager, David Butler, commented:

“I would like to thank England, France, Scotland, Serbia, USA and Ukraine for providing us with a fantastic festival of rugby league over the last 11 days.

“The quality on display was excellent, history was made at several junctures not least with USA playing their first youth international games and winning two, and England recording the first back-to-back U19s Championship.

It was again humbling to welcome the Ukrainians despite the challenges that they continue to face, and we were pleased to see Scotland return to the competition.

“As has become tradition, over the course of the time together, the teams’ interaction and support of one another was remarkable and friendships between players and staff from all nations have been formed for life.

“I would like to thank our team of match officials who came together from eight different countries to support the tournament, some of whom brought great experience and shared and supported those newer to the game to give everyone a positive experience.”

Butler added: “I would also like to recognise the extensive efforts that the Serbian Rugby League Federation went to in organising the tournament and providing an unprecedented level of support to the competition.

Overall we achieved improved media coverage of the event which increased the tournament’s reach, with over 100,000 views of the games which were broadcast live on Facebook.”

Two tries from prop Miller Dalton – his second in the final minute – saw England’s community Lions retain the European Rugby League U19s title with a dramatic 15-8 win over France, after a sensational final at a rainy FK Radnicki Stadium in Belgrade.

There was little between the sides throughout, France leading 8-7 on the hour mark after clawing back England’s 7-0 lead at the break, until Dalton’s late intervention, powering over from close in between the posts to seal victory.

“The performance was outstanding, I couldn’t fault the efforts of any of the players,” said jubilant England U19s head coach Gary Hewer.

“They kept turning up for each other for the full 80 minutes. We’ve grown into this competition from the start and been on a journey for almost 18 months to achieve this.”

Hewer added: “We were always under pressure, but this group is so close knit they just kept turning up no matter that the French kept coming at us and it showed the passion for the shirt.”

After an intense but scoreless opening quarter, with both sides having early tries ruled out, player of the match Dalton opened the scoring with a well-rehearsed move seeing him crash over, George Jamieson adding the conversion.

France went on concerted attack, England fullback Josh Langley cleaning up superbly in goal, but the young Tricolors could not convert it into points as tenacious scrambling defence kept them at bay.

With half time approaching, England captain Devan Sharp added a drop goal to edge his side to a two-score lead.

The intensity went up at the start of the second period, England finding themselves down to 12 men as Marcus Geener was sin binned for a professional foul after he hung on too long following a French breakaway.

France failed to take advantage of the extra player, but shortly after Geener’s return Clement Martin found himself in space and put Matis Jammes away for their opening score.

Mateo Jiminez-Lopez’s conversion bringing France back to within one point.

A penalty on the hour-mark saw Jiminez-Lopez move his side ahead for the only time, England spurning a chance to score shortly afterwards, fumbling a kick with the line open.

The lead changed hands again when England were awarded a penalty for a shoulder charge, Jameieson taking the two points on offer, before Miller settled matters.

France U19s head coach, Remi Casty, noted:

“The best team deserved their win. They made less mistakes than us, our discipline with and without the ball was poor and although we fought hard to come back, we left ourselves too much to do.”

Squads arrive in Belgrade for European u19 Championship

The six nations competing in the 2024 Rugby League European Championship have arrived in the Serbian capital Belgrade. The tournament opens with quarter-final games tomorrow (Sunday) between Serbia and Ukraine, followed by Scotland versus USA.

Defending champions England’s Community Lions enter at the semi-final stage to take on either Serbia or Ukraine on Wednesday 17 July, while France – favoutites after their recent win over England Academy – will face the winner of Scotland and USA, as they bid to regain the title which they won in 2018.

The two losing quarter-finalists will meet in the 5th vs 6th place play-off game.

The final day of competition takes place on Saturday 20 July, with the championship final while the other teams who have not yet met will play in grading games for the 2026 tournament.

“We’re very excited for kick off on Sunday,” said ERL general manager David Butler.

“As well as producing some very competitive and entertaining rugby league, the 2022 tournament in Italy also created a sense of friendship and camaraderie between the competing teams and I’m sure that we will see both in good measure this time around in Belgrade.

The Serbia Rugby League Federation has worked very hard on the ground to prepare for the tournament, and I am sure that everyone competing is going to enjoy their hospitality.”

USA Young Hawks make their debut at this level with the bulk of their squad coming from the Utah area which is the first to inaugurate domestic youth competition, while Pheonix Death (Mona Vale Raiders) and Ryan Jurkans (Singleton Greyhounds) travel from Australia to represent Ukraine, and Hayden Cumming (Mackay Magpies) and Bailey Schneider (Manly Sea Eagles) will play for Scotland.

England Community Lions defeat France in the Under 19’s European Championship

England defeat France in Under 19’s Championship

Emotions overflowed after England Community Lions staged a stirring fightback to beat France in the Final of the European Under-19s Championships in Italy on Saturday night,

Then dedicated their triumph to Gary McMahon, a member of the coaching staff whose death last weekend had stunned the squad and the wider Rugby League community.

Members of Gary’s family flew out to join the team on the day of the game – and his son, Gary junior, selected Harry Penny of Ince Rose Bridge as the man of the match after England’s 14-12 win.

They were also presented with Gary’s winner’s medal, and a France shirt by Luc Lacoste, the President of the French Federation.

The squad had resolved to play on in Gary’s memory after last weekend’s trauma, only to be rocked again when news reached Italy of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II – which also raised questions about whether the game would go ahead.

But they saw that as an opportunity to pay tribute to Her Majesty, with a minute’s silence and singing of God Save the King before kick-off.

At the end of a tournament which has been memorable for other reasons, including the remarkable performances of a Ukraine team whose presence was significant enough, but who then defied expectations to reach the semi finals.

Marc Lovering, the RFL’s Director of Participation and Development, said: “Nobody could have envisaged what lay ahead for this group when we left England less than two weeks ago, and that explained the incredible emotion which followed Saturday’s Final.

“The tragic loss of Gary McMahon put the trip in context, but the way the squad have responded has been an inspirational example of the power of our sport.

At a very difficult time the players and staff were comforted by the knowledge that Gary’s family were being supported by RL Cares Benevolent Fund.

We were fortunate to have RL Cares Player Welfare Manager Steve McCormack with us thoughout providing invaluable support”.

“How better to remember him than for the team to show such courage in winning a Final which was absorbing and also agonising.

And we must pay tribute here to France, both for their performances in the tournament and the grace they showed in offering condolences to Gary, led by their President Luc Lacoste.

“It was also a special moment when the team sang God Save the King before the start of the match – they have certainly represented the country with huge distinction over the last two weeks.

“But it’s also been a significant two weeks for the sport of Rugby League, best symbolised by the amazing achievements of Ukraine in assembling a squad, travelling to Italy and then reaching the semi finals.

It was wonderful to hear them cheering us on in the final, after we had built such strong relationships through the tournament – and they even joined us on the field to celebrate, in scenes I don’t think any of us will forget.

“Congratulations also to Wales for their third-placed finish, and to Italy for hosting the event.”

Three England players – Noah Lancelott of Leigh Miners Rangers, Scott Parnaby of Waterhead Warriors, and Keiran Welburn of West Hull – were named in the team of the tournament.

France led 8-0 at half-time through a try from Justin Tropis and two goals from Thomas Monclus, but the Lions replied when good work from Millom’s Jack Newbegin and Ryan Wood of Wigan St Judes sent Lancelott over in the left corner.

Welburn goaled superbly from the touchline to close the deficit to two points and with Newbegin kicking well, the Lions played in the right areas and chased everything.

With 64 minutes gone, the Lions claimed a second try, again well finished by Lancelot and were on top four minutes later when good link up from the middle of the field gave Siddal’s Harvey Oldroyd the space he needed to finish.

That score set England up at 14-8, but France ensured a nervy end when captain Arthur Salles pushed through for a try that Monclus couldn’t goal after 76 minutes.

The Lions regained ascendancy and looked far more likely to increase their lead in the closing stages with their desire and togetherness winning the day for a remarkable win.

Well done Harry Penny of Ince Rose Bridge, our Lions’ Man of the Match for the European Championship Final. On a day of outstanding performances from every single player, Harry was picked by Gary McMahon’s family as our player of the match for the Final. Here he is receiving his award from U19s Lions Head Coach Allan Coleman. Congratulations Harry.

England secure dramatic win in European rugby league u19s championship

England pulled off a dramatic victory, defeating holders France 14-12 in the European U19s Championship at the Pasian di Prato Stadium in Udine, Italy, coming back from being 8-0 down at the break.

The win was immediately dedicated to assistant coach Gary McMahon, who tragically passed away when with the squad last weekend.

Winger Noah Lancellot claimed two tries as part of the fightback, England head coach Allan Coleman, who stands down now, understandably emotional and full of praise for his charges.

“I’m so proud of everybody, players, staff – all who has been part of what we wanted to achieve,” he said.

“Our message at half time was let’s leave everything out there, give it all we’ve got, no regrets and I’m lost for words;

Gary was behind everything we did. A number of these players will go on and sign professional from this, I have no doubt of that.”

In a fiery encounter as the light faded, Justin Tropis opened the scoring for the French with a fine long range effort.

Thomas Monclus missing the conversion but adding two penalties before the break, both sides having a player sinbinned in the opening forty for late challenges.

England had two tries disallowed, winger Andy Djeukam couldn’t beat the touchline in the first half and his replacement Harvey Oldroyd was also ruled out in the second.

Lancelott did find space on the opposite wing for his double just after the hour, one a spectacular dive into the corner.

England’s improved defensive effort, enthusiasm in contact and territorial advantage throughout the second half unsettled the French and Oldroyd finished another superb left to right move in the corner to move them ahead.

French centre Arthur Salles went over five minutes from time, but Monclus missed the conversion that could have taken it to golden point.

In the preceding Plate Final to decide third place in the tournament, Wales defeated Ukraine 32-7.

There was little between the sides in the opening 25 minutes, props Michael Carter and Bradley Williams running hard for Wales and Ukraine responding in kind through Maksym Harmash and Bohdan Stetsun.

Dafydd Orr Morgan delayed a restart after Oleksandr Formiuk defused the bomb in the in-goal area that saw Wales reduced to 12 players with a sin binning, Oleksandr Levandovskyi slotting over a now trademark drop goal to move Ukraine ahead.

Unconverted tries late in the half from Bradley Toy, burrowing over from dummy-half, and Oscar Fisher in the corner saw Wales lead 8-1 at the break. Heavy rain and a strong wind accompanied the second period.

Fisher with his second and Mason Phillips extending the advantage by the 50th minute.

Ukraine showed the spirit that has made them so popular throughout the tournament, building pressure to give the opportunity for Harmesh spring out of dummy-half to add some respectability to the score line, Oleksandr Forniuk adding a difficult conversion.

Back rower Rhys Davies claimed a brace for the Welsh to confirm the win, head coach Wayne Ponting commenting: “Ukraine gave us a massive fright, fair play to them they upset out game plan.

Once we got back into it, we found our feet. We finished third in Serbia in 2018 so, with a new group of boys, this is another massive step in the right direction.”

Ireland win European rugby league u19s shield

Ireland remained unbeaten following two rounds of forty minute matches against hosts Italy and Serbia to win the U19s Championship Plate, at the Pasian di Prato Stadium in Udine.

The games for sides finishing fifth to seventh in the qualifying competition took place last Tuesday and today (Saturday), and Ireland coach Bernard Westerman saw his side concede only one try in four games.

Twice beating the Italians 30-0 and Serbia 22-6 and 42-0 to round off the Plate competition.

“I’m very proud of my guys, we stuck together and regrouped after missing out on the main tournament semi finals, they showed great character on and off the pitch to overcome that disappointment,” said Westerman.

“It is a testament to the guys to return home with that shield. We are looking at player development and we found some hidden gems out there in a fantastic tournament.”

In the first round of games, Ireland fullback Nathan Connell was outstanding, crossing for four tries – including a hat trick against the Serbs – and kicking eight goals in total.

With spoils shared between Italy and Serbia following young Azzuri Christopher-Kyle De Meyer’s touchline conversion which denied Serbia what would have been their first victory in the tournament.

In Round two, Ireland overcame a dogged Italian side with captain James Downes leading the charge and Louix Gorman instrumental in steering play. Italy’s wingmen Davide Saita and Fabia Dianti both showed great pace but a wall of green prevented them from capitalising on their downfield breaks.

Serbia finally did earn their inaugural win, beating Italy 12-4 in a bruising encounter.

Saita was again impressive although a foot in touch denied him an early try but he was successful later as he took Filippo Bertossi’s looping pass to score in the corner.

But Serbia’s robust defence and ability to capitalise on Italy’s errors proved the difference with Dragan Kokanovic and Vlado Jankovic crossing.

With the Shield already in the bag, Westerman rotated his team for their final encounter with Serbia.

Gorman’s hat trick capped an impressive tournament for the Hull KR Academy product whilst Connell ended another fine performance with a brace of tries and seven more goals.

England Community Lions U19s progress to European Final

After qualifying for the semi-finals with five wins from six on Saturday, Wales lay in the path of the Lions, who have come through a fair amount of adversity in the last couple of days following the devastating loss of Assistant Coach Gary McMahon.

From early on, the Lions started to turn the screw and opened scoring when Harvey Oldroyd hit a gap superbly from a Toby Hughes pass.

Kieran Welburn, making his first appearance in the tournament, goaled for an early 6-0 advantage but Wales responded well on the back of some excellent running by Gethin Thomas. Mason Phillips getting the try on the left that Billy Walkley goaled.

The parity didn’t last long as inspired by prop Josh Leeson, England moved forward. From his midfield break and tip-on, Hughes skipped to the line from twenty metres and Welburn converted.

There was no further score for nearly twenty minutes, but England built pressure and when Wales conceded a penalty, up stepped Welburn to add his third goal.

Next came England’s try of the game as a blindside raid from Oldroyd and Andy Djuekessi went half the length of the field before captain Scott Parnaby juggled the inside pass and Jack Newbegin touched down by the posts.

Welburn goaled for a 20-6 advantage, then right on the stroke of half-time, a foray from Wales won them a penalty and Walkley goaled to make it 20-8 at half-time.

The second half belonged almost totally to the Lions with three tries coming in the first fifteen minutes.

A cut-out ball from Ryan Wood found Noah Lancelott to get things going before Harry Penny supported to go through to the line like a train.

A brilliant kick from Newbegin set the wheels in motion for the next score as Lancelott raced through and then offloaded to the supporting Welburn, who goaled the lot to open up a 38-8 score.

Wales knew they were chasing the game but were powerless to stop a rapid brace from Mekhi Bridgeman and the Lions rounded off their emphatic win six minutes from time when Hughes stepped his way over for his second try and Welburn completed a 24-point haul with his tenth goal.

England now take on France in the final on Saturday after they dispatched Ukraine 62-7.
