Yes folks..... pre-season is well and truly underway down at the club and to date we have had really good numbers turning up to training. This has been a mixture of the usual catalyst of players from last year, some new players joining in, some enthusiastic under 16/17 players and some familiar faces from the past. For those yet to turn up...come on boys get yourself down to training, you're 4 weeks behind and there's plenty of time to still get fit before the season starts.

Training started on the 2nd July and the sessions have been handled by myself (Mark Gabey-Head Coach) and Dan Waters (Backs Coach), with the emphasis being on improving overall fitness and recovery time, ball/handling skills, decision making under pressure and rucking/defensive/tackling techniques as well as game play. At present the training sessions have been starting at 7.00pm with the goal being 1 hour 30 mins maximum training covering most of these topics and more, then finishing off with a game of rugby speific touch.

We have important dates you need to make yourself available for if possible:
