Sunday 4 January 2009 - Training

I try to avoid commenting on the weather all the time, but it was really cold today. It was minus 5°C when the coaches first arrived and even they had donned trousers to keep warm, except for David, who was obviously more hardy than most (or should that be foolhardy?).


Despite the ground being hard it was agreed that as this was a training session that, with care, we could still continue. After some warm ups and running around, a game of touch rugby was played, with shouts of 'pass' and 'sit' echoing around the pitch. This was followed up by some drills to emphasise some of the points that arose out of the play, finishing again with another game of touch rugby.


The second game was more fluid than the first, with more passing happening without so much prompting. From a spectators point of view, it looked more like a real game of rugby you see on the tv.


Next week we are away in Maidenhead.
