Gòtics Rugby Club (Gòtics RC) is a rugby union from Barcelona established in 1984. They play their home matches at Camp Municipal de Rugbi La Foixarda.[1]
Created as a result of the abolition of the RCD Espanyol's rugby section, four players from this section, Toni Rigat, Carles Tabernero, Josep Maria Vilajosana and Josep Cobo,[2] formed a new rugby team, keeping the white and blue colours of the uniform.
Story
[edit]The club was created in 1984, after the budget reduction made by R.C.D Espanyol in which it was decided to eliminate some of its sections, including the rugby section.[3]
Uniform
[edit]Gòtics RC's uniform is a simple but very formal and traditional uniform due to the one worn by the previous team (Espanyol Rugby Club) . The uniform colours are blue and white.
Honours
[edit]Gòtics RC won the Catalan Rugby Championship in the 1987–88 season, winning its first championship. The club was runner-up in 1989, 2003, 2004, 2008, 2013, 2014 and 2016.
