Training Today & Next Week at South Gower!

Great training session today boys! We were very impressed with everyone. All the coaches were very pleased in all departments, passing, running, tagging and some great scores.

We can put our training to the test next week, when we have four games against different teams from Farnham rugby club. The first game is at 9.30 am so we will meet for 9am sharp! So boys - make sure you have a good nights sleep before, so we are all on our best form. Our last game is at 12.30 pm, so bring some snacks and drinks to keep your strength up.

Mums and Dads please allow for some inevitable delays, you are welcome to take some camping chairs etc, weather depending we can go picnic style. The South Gower club will also be open for light and heavy refreshments etc. I will post another update on Friday for any changes to the plan.

Next weeks Predator Plan & training 10.30am-Sunday! Mums bring your kit!

Hi all, 10.30 am meet at Bishopston , no game to date this week, so we will continue with some training and practice plus some more" back to back " drills designed to draw the man and pass before getting tagged and I thought if we have enough Mums we could have a special mums tag team to celebrate the day.

Next week we have been invited for two tournaments with visiting teams from over the bridge, I Will bring all the details to training,  please note the one tournament is held on Saturday and the other on Sunday next week. I am happy to take a team to both days, however please have a think to see if you can do either Saturday or Sunday or if you would like to do the two days. Coaches can you also let me know!! The tournaments are local (south gower and dunvant) but will involve up to 3 games each day.

Please can you also put the 7th of May in your diary, for a local rugby fun day  & BBQ.

Cheers all,  Jon.
