September 2007 News Archives

A fantastic start to the season building on the form we showed towards the end of last year. The teamwork and commitment were outstanding with everyone contributing to their well-deserved festival victory.

If you have not yet collected your mouthguard, you can now pick it up from the kitshop.

Hitchin u10's do the club proud.

Having lost three players during the build up to this game Hitchin arrived at Stockwood Park with only 16 players. From the start it was clear that the lads were up for the game, this season blessed with pace in the backs and strong hard running forwards, Hitchin were keen to hit the ground running

Training is planned for Sunday for those not going to Letchworth

Well what we can say about the Colt’s Rugby on Sunday 23rd????
Hitchin Colts playing at home struggled to hold Hemel, scoring 2 tries to Hemels 4 losing 10-24 on a hot Sunday afternoon.

On a bright, crisp Sunday morning we got to see some of that champagne Rugby we’ve all been waiting for, after a good summer of hard work and training. It also seems to be clear that a late kick off seems to suit our lads, or at least a good 90 minute warm up!

Club members who had an Opro fitting can collect their mouthguards in the clubhouse on Sunday 30th Sept. between 1000 and 1200.

Message from Chris Jones regarding the 3XV & 4XV Game this weekend

Another fantastic turnout this week with even more new players. Thank you again to all the parents that helped out during the session.

Player of the Week

Well done to Naomh Taylor who was awarded ‘Player of the Week’. Naomh showed excellent skills in the initial session and then performed well in the U7’s support drill and match.

Only 1 team can play at Letchworth.

An England win - hurrah!! More new U8 recruits - double hurrah!!

The following teams have been selected for Saturday 29th September

After four good training sessions the season gets off to a good start at Letchworth's Festival where we will also play Datchworth, Stevenage and Royston.

Dear Parents,

Another great turnout this week and a big thank you to Adrian, Tim, Mel, Tom and all the others who helped run the session on Sunday. I hear it was another great success and the children enjoyed themselves again.

Hitchin Ladies finished their second match of the season with a win against Peterborough.

The following teams have been selected for Sat 22nd September

Hitchin entertained newly promoted Saracens Amateurs on Saturday and were well beaten by a very competent and organised team.

Another excellent turnout - seems that an England defeat doesn't dampen spirits!!

Hitchin 2s went into this game with a slightly shuffled team (including a few players who were expecting a run-out with the 4s) looking to build on their spirited performance last week.

The following sides have been selected to play on Saturday 15th September

I was astounded by the turnout on Sunday (not sure if you noticed!) and I really hope that your children enjoyed themselves. It is wonderful to see so many smiling faces having fun and learning a new skill. Long may it continue!

Player of the Week
As mentioned the previous week, I will be awarding a ‘Player of the Week’ award to the child who has made the biggest contribution to the session. This week, I chose Sam Henshaw to receive the trophy for several reasons. In the last two weeks he has listened well and always paid attention to whatever is being said as well as showing good passing, catching and tagging skills. This week he also played really well when he was mixed with the more experienced U7s and U8s in a game situation. Well done Sam!

Hitchin competed well against a much bigger Chingford side whose size saw them dominate the scrums from the outset

Just to update you all on the competition, looks like our very own Tony Wuidart is winning, well he has to with a grin like that!

Hitchin Ladies travelled to Hertford for a preseason friendly. A tough game was expected having played them before and with Hertford playing in the league above Hitchin.

What a turnout!! What a day!

Visit to Twickenham to see the London Double Header is on. The coach is scheduled to leave the club house at 1230.

The following teams have been selected for Saturday 8th September.

"The Mini and Junior section are holding a Balloon Release as part of the open day on the 9th September. Buy a Balloon and the one that goes the furthest will win a fantastic prize (see Tim Jeffries for details!)

This is the best I can do because I can't remember much after the pub golf, which I didn’t see too many of you on, but what we did do we can all be proud of because everybody stepped up and put 100% in.

There was an excellent turn out at today's first training session of the new season (See team photo)

There were 9 of last year's 'Hitchin RFC Junior team of the Year' U7s; so welcome back Alex, Alfie, Ben, David, Harry D, Harry L, Jonathan, Jordan and Sam.

The pub golf tournament took place on Saturday 1st Sept.
