But lets hope i get used to participating in these forums etc, Think i have prattled on enough for today so i will sign off and wait to see what this forum is like

Hi Ian

Doha already has a thriving rugby scene, but as it's the only city in the country, it's also the only club (so Qatar, who play in the Asian 5 Nations and who have just won Division IV) are essentially Doha. The clubhouse was a serious dump last time I checked though.......

I wouldn't actually call it a clubhouse , more of a shed with a corragated roof.
I'm a member as it's walking distance from my villa and has the cheapest beer in Qatar , they've got a fairly decent side as well.

Ian ,

http://www.doharfc.com/ will tell you all you need to know mate .
