'Coach's Comments'

Well done to everyone who turned up at training today, including those with a 'hangover' after a late night watching England prevail against 'Les Blues.'

There was a lot of effort from everyone in both the mini matches and the training drills.

This is a mix (mini matches and drills) we will use in coming training sessions. The idea is you learn something in the drills and then take this onto the match pitch and use it.

The key elements today were the 'DEFENCE' set up (remember your numbers; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and the positions!) and the attacking 'ARROW' (remember to set your position against the person receiving the FREE PASS!)

In the games the forward running; running into space (not face!!) and the 'running support' is improving - keep it up!

The passing when tagged was also quicker - well done.

REMEMBER, We must ALWAYS get back ONSIDE - between the opposition ball carrier and OUR try line - when defending.

This week's Player of the Week award goes to PIPPA. She contributed strongly throughout the session, as well as listening and paying attention to everything asked of her - setting a good example for others to follow!!
Her running, passing and tagging was also very good; so well done Pippa.

Unfortunately I am away next Sunday, but Simon, Chris and Jon (along with his new found knowledge from his SQA course) will be there from 10.15 - PLEASE try to be on time so they can get the session started.

See you a week on Sunday for our matches against St. Neots.

Eric mentioned about St. Neots, the plan is to put out 2 teams (St. Neots are also planning 2 teams so it should be a full morning). Can you please let me know your availability so we can be sure to have 2 teams.

Thanks
Simon
