History[edit]


see also AS Saint-Estève and XIII Catalan


In 2000 Bernard Guasch managed to bring together two highly successful Perpignan rugby league clubs in AS Saint Estève and XIII Catalan to form one club which he named Union Treiziste Catalane the ultimate aim was to join the Eropean Super League. After just one season the club won the Lord Derby Cup beating Limoux Grizzlies 38-17. Saint-Cyprien XIII of the Elite Two Championship and also based in Perpignan joined the merger in 2002. After another cup win in 2003, in season 2004/05 they completed a league and cup double and it was at this time that the club presented a business plan to join Super League. In 2006 they were admitted into Super League under a new name Catalans Dragons. They continued to compete in the Elite One Championship under the name Saint-Estève XIII Catalan which brings back the names of the original clubs pre 2000. The club acts as a feeder team for the Catalans Dragons while also providing a Perpignan presence in the French league. In 2016 the club lifted the cup again[1]



Colours and Badge[edit]


The teams playing colours are white, red, blue and yellow which are the colours of Catalans Dragons and incorporates the colours of the original clubs from the merger. They also share very similar badges the difference being the team name



Stadium[edit]


When the merged team began, they played at the Stade Gilbert Brutus and stayed here until 2015 when they switched to the ground formerly used by AS Saint-Estève in the district of the same name on the outskirts of Perpignan. The ground has floodlights and a main stand that has 2,000 seats. In 2015 the ground hosted its first international match when France A national rugby league team played Serbia national rugby league team
