GALICIA OLD BOYS DESERVED JEFF BUTTERFIELD AWARD
Decision to form a team of Galician veterans has been made on initiative of CR Ferrol and CRAT Corunha to take part at European Festival in Madeira in 2008.
Galicia Old Boys are the selection of players from CRAT/Corunha, CR Ferrol, Mareantes, C.D. Zalaeta, CDU Santiago and others like Philosophy Santiago, Ingleses, Xabarin, Lalin, or Vigo.
Galicia Selected Old XV took part at three European Festivals - Madeira (2008), Caernarfon (2010), Cascais (2011) - also with guest players from Independent Santander and Belenos of Asturias clubs.
Galicia Old Boys incorporate the tradition of their Celtic origin, just to mention some of them: Galicia "Kilt“, traditional "Queimada“ - performed at all festivals/tournaments, or the "Haka Galega“ based on the traditional song "A Rianxeira“.
Speaking with the President of Galicia Old Boys, Jorge Fraguela and the Secretary Ramon A. Bernat at the Gala Dinner in Estoril, their intention to "come back“ in Hungary in 2013 and to bid for the EVRA Festival 2017, was more than obvious . . .
