Gibraltar Rugby will be heading off East for the second time this year, when they face Israel in an international friendly on the 10th October. It's a long-awaited return fixture from when Israel visited the Rock in 2014. The venue is the Wingate Institute of Sport, 30km outside Tel Aviv. Entry is free and the kick-off time is 6:30pm, Gibraltar time.
The trip also coincides with Gibrael's Gibraltar Day 2018 and will add sport to the blend of business events taking place in Tel Aviv itself, further helping to strengthen ties between the two historically-linked jurisdictions.
Two local businesses played an integral part in making the tour happen.
Danny Hook from Rokolo commented "It's an honour to be supporting Gibraltar Rugby and celebrating Gibraltar day in Tel Aviv. Rockolo wishes the Rugby Team and all participants involved the best of luck. I am sure it will be a very successful event and look forward to taking part and watching the game live in Tel Aviv".
Patrícia Darch said "We are very excited to be a sponsor of the Gibraltar Rugby Team, especially on this very symbolic trip to Tel Aviv; the kick off of the team's 2018/2019 season and the fabulous opportunity to strengthen business ties with Israel through the magnificent work carried out by the Gibrael Organisation. I can only wish both of these ventures a very successful outcome".
