Last Training Session

All - Wednesday will be our last training session in which we'll be having a bit of a laugh. As usual we will be doing the Award so I would like to encourage everyone to be there.

7s tour rules

OK. Tour rules now decided. Theme is pyjamas and teddy bears. PJs will be worn both there and back; teddy bears must be carried at all times while not playing; if your photo is taken you must pretend to be asleep.

The coach will leave 7.15am at the absolute latest. Please be at the club by 7.00am.

Disappointment on Sunday

We went into the cup final feeling OK but knew it was going to be a big match. And so it proved. Reading were well-drilled and a team full of confidence. They played some great rugby and the match proved to be a bit too much for Worcester Greyhounds. 12-3 at half time to Reading didn't get any better in the second half. We went down in the end 24-8.

All congratulations to reading who were impressive opposition and well-deserved winners. particularly impressed with the Reading 8 and 15. No idea of names (lost my programme, sorry!). Thanks to Lou and Wino for our points.

Squad: Hair, Emelie, Fay, Wino, Kacie, Ghostie, Lize, Rhi, Fran, Abby, Lou, Beth, Sophie, Jade, Zoe, Nic, Shoulders, Peaches, Crookie, Lydia, Fidler, Katie.

While we lost the match, we are very proud of all the squad for making it to the national final. Well done and as the last 15s match for Rich, Tolley and I a great performance to go out on.

Sunday and Tour

Things seem to be all sorted for Sunday. 10.45 latest at Lichfield. Want to try and get changed and ready to go just after 11.00. It's a 12 o'clock kick off.

Can anyone who hasn't paid try to remember to bring hoody money please? Would be great if we could sort that one totally by Sunday! :D

On the subject of tour... after some hunting from Ghost, we've found a Travelodge near the 7s so as far as we know, staying overnight near the rugby club on the Saturday is a-ok! Therefore we just need to know whether everyone is up for it, as well as who can and can't come. It shouldn't be any more than £50, and that's the absolute maximum. We'd leave early on the Saturday, participate in (read: win) the 7s then head on over to the Travelodge for the night. Head back Sunday, around midday-ish maybe?

Anyways, let either me or Ghostie know asap if you're available. Remember, 7s squads are smaller than normal ones so I don't know what's gonna happen in regards to who's playing etc, but I guess if everyone brings their kit they may be able to help out some other teams if not in the squad? I dunno. Everyone is expected for tour, though. :)

Finally, Ghostie, Rhi and myself have been throwing around ideas for a tour theme. Rhiannon, who is insistent that she has a SWAG bag, wants to do cops and robbers. Backs would be cops, forwards would be robbers. Cops can be anything from your average bobby to detectives. As for me personally, I'm going as Special Agent in charge if we are up for this.

If anyone has any other suggestions for a theme, let us know. We know it's short notice for the theme, but everyone has to make some kind of small effort, or we'll have to think of a punishment...

See everyone Sunday!

Wednesday and Hoddies

Just a quick one (not that I know how many people read this thing!)

Cheers to everyone that turned to to training this morning. We got some good stuff done so that was great.

We need everyone at training Wednesday so be ready for a 7.30pm start.

Also, we need everyone's money for Hoddies on Wednesday if possible. £22.50 - please please try not to forget.

Worthing trip off

Due to a shortage of player numbers and as we have the national cup final next week, Rich, Tolley, Jem and I have had to make the decision not to gtravel to Worthing this weekend. I know this is disappointing news, but we had to consider the risks to those players who would have had to play all of every match.

As it is the final next week, we will have a training session on Sunday as usual.
