In preparation for the transition to contact, could all players please sort out Gum Shields. You will need them for training on Sunday mornings, and when participating in Festivals. They are generally available from all sports shops.

Coalville Festival

The Under 9's display on a wet and miserable day in Coalville was excellent. Outstanding commitment, great running, good scores, superb tagging and above all enjoying the day has to be celebrated.

Well done Isabelle, Olivia, Ewan, Edward, Adam and Charlie, we were very impressed with your performance and commitment and there are encouraging signs for the future. Thanks to those on the touchline for supporting on such a damp day, your presence is appreciated.
