As well as the league there are also friendly,cup and 7s/10s tournament fixtures. These happen through out the season but most tournaments take place towards the end of the season.

DRYBROOK GAME

On sunday we played a training game at drybrook. Due to low numbers at drybrook we played the game in quarters and lent them 3 players for each quarter to give everyone some good game time. As we said the score did not matter it was the performance we were interested in.There were a lot of good things that came out of the match and some areas to work on which we will talk about on wednesday. Especially good to see so many of you tackling as this has been an area we have been working on. This was a good warm up game before our first league match next sunday.Thanks to drybrook for hosting us.

Team Building Day

Good to see so many of you today. A really good day with some interesting things. Really need to take this team spirit into our games which will stand us in good order. Pictures of the day hopefully to follow in a few days. A big thankyou to adie for organising the day and thanks to everyone who helped out and joined in the the activities. ps still think the adult shelter made the girls shelter look really poor.

Team Building Sunday

Please meet at bishops wood centre at 9.30 or at worcester rfc at 9. If any one needs a lift please let kim or me know. It will be muddy so please bring appropiate clothing. Looks like being a good fun day as it looks like we will have over 40 players and parents attending. Please bring your own drinks. As we have already mentioned there is no charge for the day but we would like £2 from each person attending to help cover the cost of food.

Training

We had 17 at training last wednesday which is really good. Really need to keep this up as we only have 2 more training sessions before our first fixture. Please remember we are training indoors for the next 2 weeks.
