Today we had Newbury visiting. As part of the arrangements for Newbury's visit, we sought further clarification on when we can introduce training for the tackle and, contrary to the advice we had received previously, were given a revised date of September 2009!! Whilst we will clearly alter our coaching plans because of this we intend to continue playing games of touch.
Anyway, we had fantastic weather which was lovely for everyone. Training started with games of tag and then went into drills which concentrated on maintaining position and passing. Games of tag were then played against Newbury. Where we played full strength Newbury squads we won two games, drew one and lost one, which is great. We also played a Bar-bars team, meaning that everyone got a chance to play. All our players did well, running hard, taking tags and using the space available - well done, keep it up.
The next two weekends we have festivals and so there will be no training for those that are not selected. Sunday 22 March is the Surrey Development festival, held at Watchetts - everyone is welcome to come along and support those playing; there will be at least 4 players there just to cheer our two teams on. Sunday 29 March is the Effingham & Leatherhead festival. Again supporters are welcome, but it is obviously that bit more distant. Coaches have fingers crossed for better weather this year. Bring waterproofs just in case.
