There’s a game against Tott’s 1’s on sat 30th, its going to be a mixture of us and the 2’s. If you would like to be considered then text me or leave a message on here. I will be contacting some of you who should be playing in this game.

This season membership is a one off payments of £130, or £ 5 a game. Last season we had the lowest number of players who we’re members in the whole club. So we let the side down. This season I don’t want this too happen again. So I would prefer that most players who are looking to play most weeks become members, if due too work commitments are less likely to play that often then become just a member of the club and pay the £5 when your able to play a game. I will be getting some membership application forms and will be handing them out.

Yes we are starting pre season in June, last season we didn’t and we didn’t play very well at all. So this season we won’t make the same mistakes, plus all the other teams will be starting then. This will allow us to start the season as we mean to play it, FITTER, STRONGER and QUICKER than we’ve ever been. This means we need people to some training on there own time, not just on a Wednesday night.
Last season we could use the excuses of losing some players , not having a coach, and others as to why we weren’t making the impact we should. This season we WILL be prepared. So there will be NO excuses.
Lets make sure we have 20 plus players down training, and lets give 100% in training. No prating about.
Next season there will be a perminate vice captain and a pack leader. As well as Marcus as coach. And yes you’ve got me as captain again.
Hope to see you all on June 4th, if not before.

We’ve decided that on the 19Th of July we’re going to help Scott and Oz celebrate their 21st birthday. So Isle of Wight here we come ( so dust off your passports ) It’ll be an early meet, with a full day of visits to a few of the watering holes the island has to offer. Tour rules and such like will follow shortly. Can you let me know if your attending as i might and see if i can organise breakfast with a pint.

It may be late in the season but it still doesn’t mean any game will be easy. This week we see Andover travel to Hooks lane to take on the mighty Hav AXV. It will be a hard fought game but if we play like we can them we should come out with the win. Meet at 1, kick off at 2.30. DON’T BE LATE.

Once again the lads pulled it out of the bag, Winchester came to Hooks lane determined not to be beaten by us again. Unfortunately they met a determined Havant AXV who we’re never going to let them win. This game wasn’t the free flowing rugby we all like to try and play, mainly due to the playing conditions, and partly due to the season we’ve been having. I think we won because like against Totts we wanted it more than them.
This season can be put down to a transitional season with us losing so many players over last summer, and recruiting some players as well, not having a coaching figure to run our training sessions, and the worst luck with injuries, injuries which couldn’t be played on, but injuries that required several weeks, months out. Even last week a player had a bad injury which will keep him out for the rest of the season.
It seems early to be talking about next season but i think everything we do from now on and over the summer will help us have a better season, like we did last season when we we’re in the top half of the table, won our play off, only for the play off to be cancelled.
We will be judged on how good or bad we are as a team and individuals on next season. S o its down to the players and the coaching staff to pull our fingers out and making sure we’re ready for next season.

After them winning the 1st league encounter at there place, then us winning a friendly at there place the game no doubt will be close. So we will have to pull our fingers out and produce a performance.
Its a 1 o clock meet, out on the pitch for 1:30pm, kick off 2:30. DON’T BE LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not the best game, we lost due to lack of training together as a team. Hoping to put this right starting this week, but we’ll see how many we get too training.
We’ve finally managed to get a game and the opposition want to play it as well. Its a 2:15 kick off, so that means a 12:15 meet at Havant or a 12:45 meet at Tott’s. Team to follow ( when everyone confirms )

Well done fellas, it was hard fought win, pompey came to make it difficult for us, they played some good stuff, caught us sleeping to score there try to go 5 – 0 up. We then put our heads down and ground out the win which we deserved.
There’s no training this week. Training will start on Jan 2nd. We have 4 training sesions till we play totts. So everyone to attend training. We need attendence and commitment to be better if we’re to turn this season around.
Mike
The last game of the year, hopefully it’ll happen, too many times this season so far we’ve not had a game. It’ll be a hard game as its a local derby. So we’ll have to turn up and perform. Going through the motions just won’t be good enough.
As always training’s important. No doubt I’ll see the usual suspects there, lets hope we see a few different faces as well. let me know asap if your available and more importantly if your not.
Mike
