Sunday 17 May - summer training

This was the first of the summer training sessions to be held. There were heavy showers at the start of training and only 7 players showed they were not faint hearted and still keen to train whatever the weather. They were a mix of our most seasoned players across to our newest member. A game of touch was played to warm up as the rain poured down, but when the rain got really heavy a halt was called and a nearby tree used for shelter. After half an hour however the sun came out and the still eagre players were able to shed several layers down to their shirts (and even the shirt came off for one player). Drills focussed on passing skills and practising called moves so that the players knew what their team mates were doing. We finished off with another game of touch rugby, including line outs and scrums. To make up the numbers one player's older sister joined in for her first rugby experience and enjoyed it so much she is considering joining the under 11s next season!

Well done to all those that braved the showers.

To note, the clubhouse now plans to be open every day over the summer, weekends and weekdays, therefore coffees, teas etc will be available for all training sessions.

Next week training again, 10am to 11.30 ish.
