TRY - TASTIC !!

At last, the sun was back, just in time for the last training day of 2009 and what a way to finish the year? The Predators scored lots of tries today, with all players showing their skills. Well done to Zoey & Ethan winning the bulldogs & great tries coming from all, highlights being James, Aiden, Rhys, Will, Daff & Luke. Yellows just scrapped a win against the reds, well done yellows your support play & reds for gaining the most tags, all in all the best game of the season so far.

Hope everyone enjoyed the hot dogs, including us Dads! Thank you for the Wildcat Mums for making us so welcome and cooking the Predators well deserved fodder.

See you all next week for the Parents V Predators, we may also have a debut match playing with the Vikings U7's. Keep an eye on the blog for arrangements.

The Predators win the battle with winter conditions!

For the third week in a row all Mumbles RFC junior rugby was cancelled. All, except for the youngest side, the predators. This week Tony and I were very proud of all the predators, Mums & Dads as we won the battle against the elements fighting sleet, rain and cold wind.

It was great to see a new team member Rhys T, we hope to see you next week. All the players did very well, we were particularly pleased with the several series of passes put together even though some of the players had cold hands. Also support play was very good in general. Our main focus this week was to keep moving, running and stay as warm as possible. Thank you to Owen & Myles for making up the player numbers and assisting the coaches for the day.


Next week we have some special surprises for the predators that may help any further fights with mother nature. We would be particularly pleased if all players old and new could make an extra effort to attend this coming week, as we would like to issue some winter kit & give each player a half term report. We would like to meet regardless of weather at 11.15am at the cafe on the beach, the plan is to have a short presentation then training weather permitting. If the weather is bad we can use this time to cover some new registrations & feedback. Keep an eye on the blog for an update.
