Mini Rugby Ball Replica Union Bordeaux Bègles Gilbert

This mini Gilbert rugby ball in Union Bordeaux Bègles colours is aimed at supporters of the Bordeaux club and young players beginning their rugby journey. Size 1, it is suitable for children aged 4 to 6 years for a first discovery of the oval ball, but also for collectors and fans who wish to display their attachment to the club.

Built to Gilbert standards, this replica features the official UBB colours — navy blue and white — with the club logo embroidered. The surface is hand-stitched, guaranteeing better durability over time than a heat-bonded ball. The standard grip facilitates handling for younger children, without excessive texture that could be uncomfortable for small hands.

Design

This mini Gilbert ball follows the construction codes of the English manufacturer's match balls, with a hand-stitched surface that ensures better durability than heat-bonding. The standard grip, less pronounced than on HD or Multi Matrix models, facilitates handling for young children. The standard valve allows easy inflation with any ball pump. The size 1 format, significantly smaller than a regulation ball, makes the ball manageable from age 4 and practical to display for collectors.
