This week was an interesting contrast to previous weeks as we all worked up a bit of a sweat! We were greeted by Mel (captain of the Banbury Belles) along with our other coaches Keeli & Ryan which was a lovely surprise, it was nice to work with her!
We split into different contact drills; we did tackling on the cylinders which is always fun and I believe Sophie W won the competition for sliding the furthest! We then looked at the break downs and rucking, helping the forwards to link the training to game situations.
Finally, we had lots of fun doing contact exercises and practising mauls.
We finished off the session with a cross bar challenge! This weeks training has been particularly very valuable to the forwards and was enjoyed by all.
