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
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]
