In 2001 Lignano Beach Rugby is once again international, with teams from Italy, Austria, England, Slovenia and Croatia.

The trophy goes to Padova Beach and is lifted by Aldo Aceto, a former italian player and coach who sadly passed away a few days ago. Rest in peace, Aldo!

The day when it all started: the first Beach Rugby Tournament in Lignano (Udine – Italy) – June 1993

1st Bridge Park Rugby & Beach Trophy, featuring three Rugby Udine‘s teams, Copernico’s high school team and Lignano Lifeguards’ team.
