Uplands v Mumbles Pirates

Late kick-off tomorrow for the game at Uplands, due to some of the Uplands team playing up from U10s.  Anyway, meet at Uplands 11.30am for a 12.00pm kick-off.

TRAINING CANCELLED TONIGHT TUES 6th Dec

Sorry to report due to School Xmas Plays, work and illness we are unable (a first I think) to field sufficient coaches for a safe and effective training session tonight. On Sunday we are home against Uplands and will meet a little earlier to train pre-match.

Match v Penclawdd DEFINITELY ON, but 10:30 kick-off

Had to change the time on Teamer, it's a 10:30 kick-of, meet at Penclawdd at 9.45.

Final Teamer

Just sent out a final Teamer text to the two teams, after a few adjustments for lifts and what-not, to make sure everyone gets to the right venue.

Sunday 4th final squads

Penclawdd 9.45

Sunday 4th Dec v Penclawdd Away and Morriston Home

In view of the recent gap in matches we are keen to get everybody back into action with a full game. This will also consolidate positions and patterns of play which we have been working on. This is ambitious and is a first for the season hence the unusually persistent texting this week: we have arranged to field 2 sides of 12 at different venues both against quality opposition.

It is important we meet early to learn the positions and practice (Penclawdd only have 12 so they always know their positions).
Teams are listed as above:

Penclawdd 9.45am prompt for 10.30 ko
Bishopston 10.15 prompt for 11.00 ko

Possibility of sharing accommodation for smaller groups, staying somewhere else locally (and getting day pass to Bluestone), just coming for the rugby on Sunday or discussing fundraising to subsidise cost of tour (see Alex's blog below for more info on weekend).

Thanks

Sunday's match

We have a definite match against Penclawdd and an offer of another match against Morriston. As we have a few more players now we may be able to play two teams. Please respond to the Teamer so we can get a feedback on how many are available.
