49 - 0

Well done girls on a fantastic game where we showed some really first class rugby - positive was the attitude which was very positive and focussed - negative was that we gave away far too many penalties for silly mistakes and against tougher competition they would make us pay - however the score says it all really - we out classed them in all aspects of the game particularly of note was Izzy in the line out who looked like she been doing it all her rugby career. The team was led by Wino who led by example all afternoon and showed true leadership qualities.

Tries were scored by Crooky, Sophie W x 2, Abi, Zoe Kings, Lydia, Megan, Fran and last but no means least Big C on the day Wino, two conversions by Lou and Zoe K. A massive welcome back to Hannah who didn't look out of place on the blinside, also I must mention Zeta who would have definately scored at least two tries had last pass not been more accurate.

Overall I think we are starting to mould into a realy good team but with hard work, effort and dedication we could become even better than that.

Jem

Game v Old Northamptonians

Fantastic performance from all involved which resulted in 12 tries and 3 conversions - notable performances from Sophie Watkiss with a hat-rick of tries and Zoe Kings with 3 conversions on her debut for the U18's. It was really pleasing to note the performance of last years Under 15's who have settled really well into the team and showing real signs of talent. Fantastic tackle by Megan making not only her debut for the U18's but also for WRFC. Still lots of areas for improvement and hard work in training needed but nonetheless a fantastic start to what should be a really exciting season

Big thanks to all the parents who travelled to the game

Jem

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.

Steve

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.

Steve

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!

Beth

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.

Beth

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.

Steve

Cup Final and the Rest of the Season

Firstly well done to everyone for results at the weekend, we played and won 3 hard games on a less them impressive playing surface. We have reached the Cup Final (again) and looks like we will be playing Reading (before you ask I know nothing about how good they are).

I would like to see everyone at training for the next couple of weeks so that we are ready for Reading. Also, I need everyone's Full Name and DOB for the Cup Final Team Sheet which needs to be submitted before the day - e-mail me rich.hepple@btinternet.com or text me please.

Remainder of the Season:

Sunday 3rd May - Worthing 10's
Sunday 10th May - National Cup Final
Sunday 17th May - 7's Training
Saturday 23rd May - National 7's
Sunday 31st May - End of Season

Rich

Training times from Weds 29 April

All training will go back to our original training times of 7.30pm until 9.00pm. Requests have come from the majority of players for a 90 minute training session rather than 1 hour.

Worcester Greyhounds through to the final

Our first match of the day was against local rivals Burfield .
Worcester Greyhounds had a stormer of a game with three tries scored. Burfield giving us strong opposition in the forwards especially coming close to scoring on several near-miss occasions.
A typically strong performance from scrum-half Rose. Score: 17 - 0

Our second game was against West Park Leeds with only one try with a conversion scored.
A strong pack of forwards and a good back line in the second half meant that Worcester Greyhounds were on the back foot defensively for the entire half. West Park Leeds had many breaks and only some desperate tackling saved the game.
Score: 7 - 0

Our final game of the day was against Paviours.
A tired Worcester Greyhounds started the game with bad hands and poor tackling. However, as the game progressed Worcester Greyhounds were soon back on form with two tries scored in the first half.
A strong defence by Paviours meant that we did not add on anymore to the score in th second half.
Score: 12 - 0
Conversions by Louey.

Team: Hair, Emily, Faye, Wino, KC, Ghostie, Lize, Weewee Nic, Peaches, Shoulders, Crookie, Fran, Lou, Sophie, Beth, Jade, Abbie, Lydia, Katie and Zoe

Ghostie.

Gloucester 10s

An early start and everyone was off to Hartpury College. A full squad and more meant that we had enough players. A special thanks to Shoulders (Sophie) who kindly volunteered to go and play for Old Northamptonians who were a little short. Some of our other players had one or more games for them so thanks to all who volunteered and hope that Shoulders's injured hand recovers soon.

First match - Pool match against New Cull (combined Newquay and Cullompton) and a rusty start for us. A good run out and we had to work to get a 25-0 win.

Second match - Pool match against old challengers Letchworth on the hill called pitch 2. A good win with a score of 27 -0.

Third match - Pool match against Suffolk Sabres. A tough one with some excellent players on the opposition. A much tighter 14-7 win.

Fourth Match - Final pool match against Berry Hill. Getting into our stride meant a 29-0 win against a good opposition.

Semi- final - Up against local rivals Burfield. Both teams know each other well and that adds some spice to the matches. Always tough to play against we ran out 12-7 winners in the end. Correction - 17 -7. Missed Wino's second try. Sorry

Final - We played a great Boadicieas Barbarians (Drybrook and Hucclecote) side. They had some real pace in a number of players and there was little we could do to compete. They were an excellent 10s side and ran out very worthy 29-7 winners.

Overall we had a good day and the competition was very successful. We look forward to going back again next year.
Team: Beth, Abby, Crookie, Lou, Ghostie, Hair, Wino, KC, Rhiannon, Emily, Sophie W, Jade, Lydia, Fran, Eliza (and Shoulders).

U15 competition the next day - check the U15s website for news.

Gloucester 10s

Steve

Videos of yesterday's match

I have been informed that a video clip of the incident on the pitch involving a Worcester and a Burfield player is allegedly being circulated. As far as I and the other coaches are concerned the incident was closed by the referee during the match and a penalty for the offence dealt out.

I would be very disappointed if any Worcester players were part of circulating any such clip and would discuss with my fellow coaches whether some sort of disciplinary action will be required.

Steve

Numbers - training and overall

We had 8 girls at training this weekend. We only had 15 to go to Jimmie's Angels. We regularly get into this situation every season but it's getting tougher this year.

We need more players, is the bottom line. Can you all ask your non-playing friends at school and college? We need to recruit or we may have to consider formally joining up with someone else in order to fulfil fixtures.

Steve

Last weekend

i would firstly like to say thank you to Jimmies angels for their hospitality and for the fixture.
Well done to all the girls that played.

Congratulations to Worcester, another outstanding performance!

i must stress though girls we still have a lot of hard work and some serious training to do. The season will continue to get harder and tougher so lets keep at it and work hard!

Worcester U15s girls site

Just to confirm that our sister team, the U15s, have their own site. Look at their own site for more information on what's going on with them.

Steve

Great Start!!

Summer pre-season proved good as we kick started the season with a satisfying 53-5 victory! some quality attacking backs moves matched by some equally brilliant hard work from the forwards. With many girls having their first U18 game, or first game at their new position we couldn't have asked for a more pleasing outcome. Special credit to the younger girls who really stepped up and matured perfectly into Under 18s rugby! I'm pleased to say how well the team pulled together, communicated and proved any doubters wrong - Worcester will remain as strong as ever! Well done to all the girls, despite the hot weather everyone played brilliantly, lets continue now to train hard, improve our skills and have an enjoyable season!! :)

Training (pre-season and in-season)

Training is continuing on Wednesday nights and we had 11 U18s this week,. These are great numbers and are allowing us to really move things along and skills are improving across the whole squad.

The first Sunday training is on 7 September and we will be on Cummings Farm, just not sure which pitch yet. It would be great to see everyone on both this Wednesday and next Sunday.

Steve

Summer training

Summer training is going well. We are moving things along but we need to see the rest of the players down if we are to keep up the pace. If you're not on holiday, we would like to see you down training. Numbers are OK, but we could do with a few more......

Steve

TDG

After the recent 3 day National Talent Development Camp at Hartpury College you will all be pleased to know that Sophie Watkiss has been selected for the RFUW 2008/09 Talent Development Group(TDG).

Sophie's displays for Worcester last year mark her out as a real prospect and we all look forward to her demonstrating further progress in the coming season.

Some people might think that as National Cup Winners & National 10's winners last season Worcester may have had more than one representative in the TDG squad however our success last year was down to quality coaching & the incredible hard work & committment of the players that took us unbeaten until our defeat in the semi-final of the 7's on the last day of the season. Rugby really is the ultimate team game and last year you girls showed week in week out the sort of qualities that make a stand out team. Let's do it again next season!

Loads of players available for the Bears this week for the friendly against the Army. The Army turned up with a weakened team and only started with 13 players. Other players turned up and as there were some injuries they were needed.

The Bears started well and several of the players we know had good games. Ale was running things in the centre and Jo Hart had another storming game in the full back and centres. Tolley was looking good in the forwards until she was forced off with an ankle problem. Weewee was having a reasonably quiet game on the wing until BJ from Camp Hill put her over for a try in the corner. She was unlucky not to score again a little while later when she was held up by the Army in the same corner. Jo put in a fantastic break from the centre to score. Coral put in a 50m run to score while Bean missed a tackle to allow the Army back into the game in the last few minutes. The final score was a Bears win of 22-10. Look at the Bears web site for a full report.

Steve

(All of the above is true except for any reference to Coral or Bean. They just turned up to watch... Good support girls..................)

Summer Training

Time to wake you all up again!

Pre-season fitness training is available to all of you from next Wednesday the 2cnd July. Training will start at 7.30pm on Cummings Field over the canal bridge. Bring with you Trainers and Boots.

See as many of you there as possible to get fit for another very successful season.

End of season silverware

HPAs

Many of you (most of you) haven't confirmed attendance at the HPAs yet. You will have received an email with a PayPal link. Do that and pay your £5 and that's good enough to be registered.

You won't get any more reminders from the RFUW, so take this opportunity.......

Steve

Rugby League (contd.)

Rhi is having a good time. The team is friendly, the training is good and all rugby related and I think she might even get a bit of game time against the RAF tomorrow. All 16+ players ought to have a think about doing it. It'll do wonders to keep up fitness levels across the summer. I know it's adult players (over 16 counts as adult in League) but trust me, you have the skills to keep up. The team is the Coventry Bears so have a look

I can take people from Bromsgrove if lifts are needed.

Steve

Summer Rugby League

I'm taking Weewee to Coventry on Thursday to look at League training. Anyone else interested, let me know.

thanks keith

End of year lunch

Remember all, it's going to happen on Sunday June 8th. We will be meeting at the club (in the main car park) at 12:30 for 1:00pm. We'll take the opportunity to0 take some photos with trophies.

Steve

Seven's results

Not exactly what we wanted for the end of the season, but the day stayed dry and the rugby was of the highest quality.

We were drawn in smaller pool (one team short) and played Letchworth first and then Tynedale. We won both matches with some big scores and went into the quarter finals where we played our old rivals Burfield. A win there and we were into the semi final stages.

We were drawn against Exeter Saracens who we had never played before. They put 4 tries on us! Fair play, they were a quality team and played some superb 7s rugby. They had some great players and we struggled to keep up with them. They went on to contest the final against Wimbourne and our season finished on a lower note.

Having said that, we won a chunk of silverware this year. Cup winners, 10s winners and regional champions is a record second to none and Rich, Keith, Pete and I are justifiably proud of the team we have coached and seen growing in stature over the last two years. It's been a privilege and a pleasure to be involved in such a team.

Steve

Sevens squad update

Lydia is fit and will be joining the squad on Saturday. Good luck to all.

West Midlands are regional champions

Congratulations are due to the West Midlands regional squad who had a great day on Sunday. Winning both pool matches (29-0 and 17-0) put them into the cup rounds.

A win against a tough East region side 5-0 put them into the final. A controversial match followed but the West Mids were victorious with a 7-0 score. The coaches handled their squads well and everyone played their part even though some were unable to play in the final. No matter, the squad performance got us to the final and helped us win.

Worcester regional players:

Siobhan Adams
Leanne Cook
Coral Hinton
Ale Lewis
Sarah Mimnagh
Kim Morris
Jade Newman
Anna Norris
Beth O'Brien
Katie Pittaway
Eliza Slinn
Lydia Thompson
Stacey Tolley
Rhiannon Watkins
Sophie Watkiss

Well done all.
