Players’ Meeting - Tuesday 15th @ 7.00pm

Tuesday’s training session will start indoors with a short (15 min) players’ meeting.  Simon will introduce the attack and defence patterns for the season and their associated calls.  It is important that we get maximum turnout for this briefing to ensure clarity as we take these into practical preparation.  Training outdoors will continue after the meeting.

Moss-Blundell Elected 1st XV Captain

Congratulations to Steve Moss-Blundell who has been elected as 1st XV skipper for the coming season. Steve has also invited Ian McAra to be his vice-captain and I’m confident we’ve got two good people to help lead the team forward. Rob Lamb has also been elected as Hornblowers (2nd XV) captain. Further decisions will made made on 3rd XV captain, 2nd XV manager and 3rd XV manager shortly.
