Holidays!

Just a quick message wishing everyone a good holiday and a reminder not to study too hard!!!

Rugby will resume as usual the 2nd week back after the holidays. This will give us time to sort things out for the summer term and get prepared for some 7's and touch competitions.

Enjoy your break!

Training as normal

Please note that there will be training as normal this Wednesday (28th March) from 4pm till 5pm. Try and get as many folk down as possible for us to have one really good session before the holidays begin on Friday.

P.S. - I am currently looking for a fixture for either the 1st or 2nd week back after the holidays. Please note that due to academic priorities that any arranged fixture will have to be played after school as I am not prepared to take seniors out of class at such a crucial time of studying.

Game cancelled!

Due to unforseen circumstances at Websters High School the games due be played between the schools on Wednesday afternoon have had to be postponed. I will try and make sure that the games are played as soon as possible but this may be after exam time in June.

I apologise for this late cancellation as I know all players were looking forward to this match but make an extra effort to get to training this week for a good run out before the well earned Easter break.

Apologies once again!

Mr C.

p.s. Another apology is to be made to players whose names I mis-spelt in my previous team list. Oooooops!

Update

Just a quick update on preparations for next weeks match against Websters.

Both S1/S2 and the Senior teams are due to be playing at the same time with an estimated 3pm kick off time but keep checking as times may change over the next few days due when plans are finalised. Could all players make sure they get to training on Wednesday for as much of a final team run as possible.

Also, Mr Marshall is running a Strength and Conditioning programme every Thursday lunchtime from 1.10pm and some Tuesday evenings after school for senior players. With the intensity of the modern amateur game the requirement for high fitness levels is crucial so make the most of this opportunity and give it a go. Remember, regular attendance is the key to developing your fitness effectively and it can be a lot of good fun at the same time!

Anyone who has a question about the upcoming fixture or training please see me in Room 128 as soon as possible. I don't know about you guys but I am looking forward to giving the team from Kirriemuir a good run for their money!

See you at training!

Mr C.
