Torquay Matches are still on

February 21, 2009

The Torquay matches are on and with the recent dry (ish) weather the pitch should be ok. We’ve only got a handful of weekends to go before the end of  season but most of those will the taken up with matches – fortunately most of these’ll be home.

The fixture list looks very interesting (going to Crediton??) – and I’m sure the lads will certainly do themselves credit. Even with one or two new faces filling the ranks, the guys are showing some real talent and determination. 

So bring on Torquay!!

Very Important – RFU registrations

February 18, 2009

The sun really did shine in Brixham. From all accounts the U7s, U8s and U9s all did well on Sunday. Even with three or four new players in the U7s we certainly put on a good show. The last half of the second game being true try-fest! The guys all played their hearts out and we seemed to be scooring at will.

The training at the Broadmeadow sport centre has obviously done some good – we’ll certainly be using the place next winter!

The seasons rapidly coming to an end, you can almost count the matches on one hand!  At the end of the season we usually take part in the Ivybridge Festival with 40 or so other teams from the U7s/U8s. Unfortunately this year we might not be able to go because only five players from the U7/U8s have completed the RFU Young Player Registration form. (This is the one that requires two photos)

The devon RFU are insisting that all players at festivals have their RFU ID cards available and for good reason -

1. the host club will be covered for any injuries etc

2. it stops illegal players e.g. kids playing in lower age groups.

So, please please get the forms into either me or Bridget at the club.  If we don’t then the kids will lose out!!

If you need any forms let me know

Brixham match still on

February 12, 2009

Hi all

Not wanting to put a big ‘hex’ on the game it looks as though the match against Brixham is still on.  Assuming the rain, wind and snow all hold off we need to be at their ground at about 10.00 am

If the match is cancelled we’ll be training at Broadmeadow

cheers
