Predators vs Gorseignon

A great turnout on Sunday nearly enabled us to field two teams. The new players are starting to find their feet with good performances from them all. It was especially good to see Luca make his first appearance and win a few good yards. Daf put a good performance in with him side stepping like Shane Williams. Rhys scored a super try with excellent suport play. James made some great runs as did Josh and Dylan to name but a few.
The passes were linking well and we saw some very unselfish play. Big thanks to Gorseinon who played with determination throughout.
Well done Mumbles who looked like they were getting back into the groove today.

A big congratulations to Jon and Tracy who completed a charity bike ride from Cardiff  to Paris this week so we look forward to seeing Jon back in the saddle next Sunday.
We are stilling looking for a mid week indoor venue for training perhaps on a Wednesday if anyone has any ideas.
PS Seem to be a bit low on Tag Belts so if anyone is stockpiling them we have tag belt amnesty next Sunday.

Cheers Tony, Chris and David

Match against Gorseinon

We have a match planned against Gorseinon at home (Bishopston). Please meet at 10.15am.

Driving rain and wind didn't stop the Predators!!

Well Done all players old and new today for the extra efforts in the pouring rain and wind in what were some particularly strong visiting rugby teams . The three games played were very competitive on and off the park and although we faced a very strong Bridgend side we did get our first win on our new pitch over Fall Bay.

The predators welcomed three new starters this week and also the return of some old faces who made excellent contribution to the rugby enjoyed by all. Tony, Dave, Chris and I have decided to take a maximum of twenty registrations this year which means we only have circa five places left. So any school friends are welcome. Please pass on the word.

At the end of this season we will be saying goodbye to the tag belts and tags and from what I witnessed today I feel all the boys will enjoy what next season has to offer. Nevertheless we will be looking more closely at the semi contact game on Wednesday nights (indoors over the winter) to stand the predators in good stead for next season. Before mid-week training starts I would like to get all the parents together to pass on some latest news from the club and talk about fixtures this year and next. I am not available this week as i am on the bike for charity, however keep an eye on the blog over the next few weeks for the date and time for the get together.

The plan for the next few weeks is as follows:

   
 25/09/11   Home Training - Contact Tony, Chris or Dave for this week.
 02/10/11   Morriston (a)
 09/10/11   Gowerton (h)

See you all in two weeks - Jon.

10.15am meet at Bishopston

Sorry for the late update. We have two games tomorrow against Fall Bay and Bridgend. Meet on the park at 10.15am for a 10.30am KO. All subject to weather. Please keep an eye on the blog until 9.30am.

Note: We have a new position on the field in front of the Tennis courts. We will be sharing the 'senior' pitch with the U10's (not where we trained last week).

Come on Wales!!!!!!!

Late training session on Sunday

Due to the Wales vs South Africa rugby game, we will be training later than usual. We will be meeting at Bishopston for 12.00pm

South Gower , Away , 10.15am meet!!

Hope you all enjoyed last weeks junior cracker sevens. Gowerton and South Gower had a great time, I had great feedback from both clubs !! Thanks to everyone who helped out and I'm told that the club raised over a thousand pounds on the day!! The longest kick stall that the predators run also raised over £30 for the bank account.

I am meeting with Robin next week to organise some winter kit, so I will bring you all up to speed when we meet. Please pass on to all that the season has officially started!! See you all sunday!!
