      The rugby club "Khimik" from Dzerzhinsk achieved a historic victory, becoming the Russian Beach Rugby Cup winners for the first time.

      The tournament gathered the country's eight strongest teams, and in a tense battle the Dzerzhinsk side showed a very high level of play, Governor of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast Gleb Nikitin wrote on his Telegram channel.

      In the final match Khimik confidently defeated the reigning Russian champions from Taganrog 9:4, demonstrating excellent preparation and team cohesion.

      Gleb Nikitin noted that this success was the natural result of the team's hard work, whose roster includes some of the youngest players in the country. Earlier this year the club had already won silver at the Russian Cup in snow rugby and bronze at the Russian Beach Rugby Championship.

      "Congratulations to the team and the coaching staff! Let's continue to develop rugby in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast together!" added the head of the region.

      Earlier it was reported that the football club "Khimik" had topped the standings of the Russian Second League Championship.
