No training this week...training on Jan 5th

Happy Christmas all!

We are not training this week.

Training will recommence on 5th at Morriston School at 11am.

We have our first match back on the 14th January against North Wales (South) at Newtown RFC at 10.30am.

We will travel up on the Friday night and stay locally. Since we are in the Cup competition for real now, we will be making our first "selection". So it is likely we will take around 20 boys maximum.

Parents are very welcome to join us on the coach and at our accommodation, but I will leave these arrangements to individuals. I will post the details on the site during next week.

Training this week (21st and 22nd)

We are training at the uni at the same place as last week.

On Wednesday, at 4pm Adam will lead a weights session. It will last around 2 hours.

On Thursday, at 4pm, we will do a skills session, for an hour.

Hope to see you all there, and if not, Merry Christmas.

CHANGE OF VENUE

We are training at the Indoor Running track at the university on Thursday at 4pm.

Apologies for the early start time, and understand if you cannot make it.

We have a weight training session next Wednesday - will post details soon.

Training on Thursday BRING TRAINERS

Training as usual on Thursday. Please bring trainers in case we need to go inside.

Bridgend game and Aberavon game

The Bridgend game is still on. All meet at 9.30am on Saturday at Morriston RFC.

The Aberavon game is OFF.

Training off tonight

Waterlogged pitch

Training on Thursday, game on Saturday, game next Wednesday

Training as usual on Thursday and then playing Bridgend A on Saturday morning. Then playing Aberavon on Wednesday away. Aberavon are in our part of the draw for the Dewar Shield.  This game is after Christmas.

Well done again on Wednesday

Another good game against Bridgend A, with a victory. Again, the manner of play was more important. Great contact skills and plenty of ambition. Remember the Bridgend boys had not played together and were disrupted in the last quarter of the match with players out of position. On the other hand, we played with style and looked to work on our key policies.

We are due to play them again a week on Saturday, and then Aberavon potentially the week after.

We have been drawn against the following teams in the Amdhal Bowl, to be played after Christmas. All these teams came last or 5th in their groups.



Round 1 - January 14th
N W West v Aberavon
N W South v Swansea A

Round 2 - January 28th
Swansea A v N W West
Aberavon v N W South

Round 3 - February 4th
Aberavon v Swansea A
N W South v N W West

Well done on Saturday!

Not just a good win, but the style of play was excellent.

No one ever "deserves" to win a game. You win a game because you: work hard to make your tackles, clear the contact area, pass to space and GO FORWARD.

And the variety of passes out of contact was brilliant.

Looking forward to Wednesday.
