TRAINING INFORMATION

Training and matches for the 2010/11 season have now finished.

While we give our hard working volunteer coaches and managers some much deserved time off, there will be no training on Wednesdays or Sundays.

Training in preparation for the new season will begin on Wednesday 8th of June 2011.

There will be no Sunday morning training sessions until the new season begins in September.

We will be running our summer programme once again, supported by team training on Wednesdays. Rugby Fridays will run from 11am till 4pm every Friday during the summer school holidays.

We will also be offering rugby 'taster' days for those children who are new to the game. We'll provide more information about the programme shortly.
