Numbers increase as the first game of the season fast approaches!

This week 16 players turned up for junior training an increase of 4 from the previous week. This week also saw players from Gosport and Fareham RU trying their hand at league. The players join other local rugby union players from Trojans, Tottonians and Eastleigh in what is fast becoming a skillful looking outfit. Coach Tyreman hopes that next week session numbers continue to grow as the club prepares for the London 9s on Saturday March 3rd.

This weeks top performers in training were:

1. Finn Hills 5pts
2. Tom Stanley 4 pts
3. Gary Smart-McMullan 3 pts
4. Chris Wallis 2 pts
5. Mohammed Sampson 1 pts

Coachs Play of the Day
This week sees Tom Stanley and Finn Hills both earning 5 pts each.

A great break from Finn caused problems for the scrambling defence and then Finn found Tom Stanley (inside push) for the score. A great try from pushing hard and supporting the ball carrier and excellent decision making skills on display.

Check out the RJM Junior Memorial Award table tomorrow!
