Yes, so U7s didn’t beat either Newton Abbot or Plymstock but they did very well. Bearing in mind they hadn’t played a match for three weeks, they were excellent. The passing is improving and so is the tagging althoug there were a couple of moments where we seemed to let the opposition come straight through. The most pleasiing thing was that a few of the tries came from sustained pressure where the ball was passed more than 5/6 times – so good on ‘em!
As for the U8s they just seem to get better and better. I’m not sure how many of the local will have such a strong record. And if they all stay together between now and next season, what a great U9s will they make!
Between now and then they’ve all got lots of matches – over the next three weeks we’re playing Topsham (h) Paington (a) and Ivybridge (a) so that’ll be interesting.
With the cold weather please make sure the kids are warm enough. Extra clothing is the name of the game (including gloves if possible).
Also there is always a ppitch inspection on the Saturday (if we’re playing at home) afterwhich the coaches are informed whether or not the matches/training can take place. So if you are in any doubt, call me on 07968827277 or get hold of Jon Southwood.
