Welcome back to an exciting new season, we finished last season with an encouraging performance at Dings, which we were all proud of.

The new season brings with it some law changes that mainly effect the forwards;

Change 1: Contested scrums, this means pushing in the scrums and being able to hook for the ball.

Change 2: Contested line outs, this means being able to compete for the ball when thrown in from a line out.

We will be working on these during training over the next few weeks, along with lots of other new stuff. The coaching team has a new addition this season and now consists of Derek Golding (Deej), Shaun Golding (Archie) & Alex Walker (nick name to follow).

On a safety point of view, please ensure you all get gum shields ASAP and if possible (although not essential) scrum caps. Training cannot continue to the next level without gum shields.

Let's look forward to a fun and successful 2011/12 season, remembering that success is not always measured by winning
