Following the Prime Minister's announcement last night, we regret to inform all our players, parents and members that the club will be closed as from Today, Tuesday 5th January to adhere to the national lockdown rules.

Whilst this is obviously disappointing I’m sure you’ll agree, keeping our members and players safe is, and has always been throughout this pandemic our first priority. Sessions for the whole club are cancelled as per latest Government and RFU guidance. No sessions will take place until (at the earliest) we receive further guidance from the RFU and the Government. As always, we are committed to continually reviewing our risk assessments in line with best practice - our Committee are taking steer from Government and RFU. Further guidance can be found on RFU website

The next few months will be extremely challenging for all, keep talking to your friends and families, don’t suffer in silence. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and we look forward to seeing you all back at the club in the coming months. Keep a look out for postings on our website and through our social media, please do make sure you are following us.

With community rugby currently at Stage A on the Return to Rugby Roadmap, it’s important for players to continue to stay active, even if it’s from home.
There is a selection of online training sessions available. The ‘Get Your Shirt On’ series of workout sessions were led by former England players and aimed at the 6-18 age grades. Ugo Monye, Danielle Waterman and Danny Care have taken it in turn to put viewers through their paces. Some of you took part first time around, and I’m sure you’ll agree these sessions can also help young players to stay active at home during these latest restrictions.

Week One: Ugo Monye
Session 1 here (U10s and below)
Session 2 here (U11s to U14s)
Session 3 here (U15s and above)

Week Two: Nolli Waterman
Session 1 here – (U10s and below)
Session 2 here – U11s to U14s
Session 3 here – U15s and above

Week Three: Danny Care
Session 1 here (U10s and below)
Session 2 here – (U11s to U14s)

In the meantime, take care, stay safe and we will see you on the other side!
