Early Start on Sunday!

Apologies for the late blog update, but we have been away. As we have two matches planned for tomorrow we will need to make an early start. Please meet at Bishopston for 9.30am for a pre-match warm-up.

TIME CHANGE!

We have had an email from Gowerton requesting a later match time as their pitches are going to be very busy tomorrow. Our match start time will be 11.30am.

So if we meet for 10.45am it will give us time to warm-up and discuss "match tactics" with the coaches. See you tomorrow.

Sunday Away Match at Gowerton

We have our first away game at Gowerton Rugby Club. Please can we all meet there at 10.15am. Below is a link to their website for directions.

See you Sunday.

PARENTS INFORMATION

Hotdogs & Rugby Club
All players & families are welcome to the Rugby Club.


Kit List
You should all now have a Rugby top & tag belt. The goal would be to issue the Predators (funding dependent) with a full set of kit as soon as possible, however we will ask for tops & tag belts back at the end of season. The shopping list will be as follows: bag, top, tag belt, socks, shorts, hat & waterproof gear.

Some kit was issued last season so I will contact you in order to establish who has what & what replacements are needed for this year.


Membership
You are all now "Family" members of Mumbles Rugby Club. Please support the club when you can. The benefits are in the membership books.

Requirements
All players must return completed WRU Registration forms attaching two photos & ensuring forms are signed, where required, on the back giving any allergies if applicable. These registration forms need to be submitted to the WRU before they are eligible to play fixtures.


Home & Away Matches
Now we have the blog please check up to 9am Sunday morning & we will do our best to keep you updated with any fixture changes. Home matches will be played in the far corner of the playing fields at Bishopston Sports Centre. Away matches we will put times & directions on the blog.

Team Funding
Two events have been agreed & dates are to be confirmed:

1. Family Disco - Mumbles Rugby Club
2. Mums & Dads only - Charlies Bar & Dining

New season, new venue!

We are officially off the beach! Parents you may miss the cafe, but the Predators get to play matches, home and away. Get ready for some fun!

This Sunday we will be meeting at Bishopston for 10.00 - 10.15am. Hopefully we will get a game against Loughor, but we will have to wait and see if they have an U7's side. Afterwards everyone is invited back to the Mumbles Rugby Club (opposite mini golf in Mumbles - Please Note: not the Cricket club). See you Sunday.

Rugby Fun Day

Our first ever Rugby Fun Day was a great success. Feedback was very positive and we are sure it will be an annual event.

The Predators, following a short warm-up and refresher course, played a game against Gowerton who had been in training for 3 weeks. A close game was followed by signed photos and a team photo with Osprey's Captain Alun Wyn Jones and Welsh International Jonathan Thomas.

The day included a mini rugby festival, a kicking competition, tug-of-war, soak-the-coach stocks, face painting, bouncy castle, BBQ (organised by the 1st Team), small licensed bar and an ice cream man.

We hope to see you there again next year. Spread the word!
