Sunday saw November arrive and with it the only rugby of the month due to the new lockdown. That's it now until the rules change and we can come out to play again, so no training and no Sunday morning rugby for the rest of November. Hopefully from 2nd December we will be back.

Let's end on a positive though ... within the law and RFU rules we have done what we can to keep players involved in the game and with good numbers returning despite the restrictions, they all appeared to enjoy it. Thank you to the volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to create the site safety arrangements that allowed it to go ahead. Thanks also to all the coaches and the many parents who stepped up to help as registration/welcoming volunteers.

Having surveyed and recognised the mixed views, on our final (for now) Sunday we decided on playing matches between the age groups of our club rather than bringing in visitors, with the Under 13's and older boys teams mixing it up with the U15s and U18s girls teams for a great late morning session of ready4rugby matches. Even the weather held off just long enough to keep it sociable. There was some great rugby played and close games enjoyed by all teams. Thanks to Hendo for organising it and the coaches, referees and players for giving the parents and other spectators a taste of rugby to watch before the lockdown. We hope to return with more of the same. Stay safe, keep active where you can and see you soon.
