Mumbles Knights Under 6 Tag Rugby

Sunday 26th February

2012-02-28T15:16:00.000Z

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to say what a great session we had on Sunday! We tried a few new exercises which seemed to go ok considering the great number of players we had and a big thank you for all the dads that helped out!

Was great to see two new faces, Rhodri and Tommy and that Gwenan returned to give the boys a run for their money.

The skill sets are definately improving and we will continue to work on our defence, passing and catching in readiness for our next match. Special mention to Sam Williamson for his chip & catch which was awesome!

Keep up the good work Knights and I'll see you on the beach on Sunday!

Thank You Lisa

2012-02-28T15:10:00.003Z

Hi Guys,

As mentioned below, Lisa is going to take a break for a few weeks and I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank her for all her help and support with the Knights and I'm sure you'll all echo me in saying that she will be missed by us all! Thanks Lisa!

Mumbles Knights 1st ever Match Report.

2011-12-04T18:51:00.003Z

A big thank you to the Mumbles Dragons for inviting us to play them in our first ever match, and showing us how great sports men behave. Thanks Dragons we had a great time.
It was a cold wet morning so it was great to see so many of the boys arriving with smiles on their faces. The boys did well staying up right as it was very slippery under foot.
We had a strong 12 man team, Dylan did well to keep the 4 subs rolling in & out of play. Junior coach Bill Fabb did a great job keeping the subs warm and ready to go.
All the boys kept the pressure up, with lots of tagging, keeping the Dragons away from the try line. However the Dragons are a strong, mature team and their experience showed scoring 4 tries. So when Will scored we were ready to go home happy, but you can imagine my surprise when I saw those little legs powering towards the try line a second time! Well done Will!
The Dragons showed us how to end a game well with cheers and handshakes, thanks Dragons!
Thanks Mums, Dads, dogs, Grandparents & boys, Lisa & Dylan haven't stopped smiling!

CHANGE OF VENUE to BISHOPSTON

2011-12-03T19:34:00.002Z

Dylan has arranged a Christmas treat for the boys, we will be playing a couple of matches against the under 7's, the year above us. So we'll be at BISHOPSTON playing fields. So early night after some carb loading, then be at Bishopston by 11am for the warm up!

2011-11-27T12:57:00.002Z

Great training today in the sunshine at Bishopston with the other junior teams. Amazing running tags and tries today from Harry, Sam, Ryan, Jo, Ossian, Mabon, Max & Tristam there were more but I'll have to start writing them down. Next week we are at Caswell at 11am.

We have had lots of offers of support; Cai's Dad is designing us a Mumbles Knights logo, you are all helping getting the boys get in & out of their tag vests, which saves time & moves the training along. Boys and parents behave like gentlemen have a look at the link below for parent and player conduct, www.pitchero.com/clubs/mumbles/a/code-of-conduct-4300.html . If any one would like to help out with coaching let Lisa or Dylan know and we'll put you forward for CRB check and short coaching course.

If you are doing any Christmas shopping with amazon you can also raise money for the junior teams. Access amazon by clicking on the Amazon shopping link on the below sites, shop as usual and the teams get a 5% donation at no cost to you.

Christmas plans and training.

2011-11-26T17:31:00.005Z

Sorry everyone I locked myself out of the blog spot, but I'm back just in time. Great rugby last weekend at Caswell, good tags and tries from Ben, Ryan, Lucas & Sam. The boys are really coming together as a team, their kicking & passing skills are improving.
So this Sunday 27th Nov 11am we're at Bishopston playing Field, meet at the comprehensive car park. We'll be there whatever the weather but keep an eye on the blog if it's extreme conditions!
There's been a bit of lost property over past few weeks, a wallet and a body warmer, Dylan has them in the kit bag let him know.
We are planning a little Christmas party at the Rugby club, date to be confirmed, it'll be bring a plate of food affair and great fun.

Not made of cardboard!

2011-11-04T17:35:00.002Z

The moons have aligned & we have a 3 week stretch of training at Caswell. So 6th, 13th & 20th Nov we will be at Caswell at 11am.
The boys are a pretty hardy bunch & as my Mum would say, 'they're not made of cardboard'. So we will be there in almost any weather conditions, but check the blog in extreme weather & I'll post a message as soon as a decision is made.

2011-10-29T07:45:00.002+01:00

We're on the beach on Sunday 30th at 11, we might even see some sunshine! Lisa is away so Dylan would be grateful for any volunteers.

Gentlemans game.

2011-10-29T07:33:00.002+01:00

Fantastic play on Sunday. We were impressed with the boys sportsmanship, they were supportive & congratulated eachother when trys were scored.
No rugby on 23rd back on 30th at 11 on the beach.

Knight's Team Work

2011-10-09T15:04:00.004+01:00

Fantastic session at Caswell this morning, well done Knights! They really worked together, those that were running in the wrong direction a few weeks ago, Mabon, were supporting & passing like pro's. Osian was organising the blues, great leadership, Niah did well great passes & a big smile on his face through out. Great trys from Sam, Tristan & Max. Bring on the 2031 World Cup! We also had our first girl join us, well done Ruby, by the end of the hour Ruby was keeping up with the boys.
I'd love to put some photos on the blog let me know if you don't want your child in them.
We're back at Caswell next week at 11, but we're off for half term on the 23rd Oct. Look forward to seeing you next week.

2011-10-08T09:25:00.002+01:00

Great work from all the boys last Sunday at Bishopston in the sun. We can't promise sun but lots of fun this Sunday at Caswell 11am. See you there!

Change of Venue

2011-09-28T22:25:00.001+01:00

Unfortunately due to a high tide the Knights will be training at Bishopston Comp Car Park on Sunday 2nd Oct. A shame now the sun has finally come out! See you all there 11am.

Rain Doesn't Stop Play for Mumbles Knights

2011-09-18T15:09:00.002+01:00

Some confusion about meeting point today, sorry my fault. But great to see so many faces at both meeting points despite the weather.
Next week we're back at Caswell at 11am. See you all there.

2011-09-13T19:42:00.003+01:00

Our first beach rugby session went well with a great turn out despite the wind. The boys had a great time & look like they'll become a strong team, as long as we can get them to run the right way! Our name, which will follow us until the boys are teenagers, had unanimous support it is MUMBLES KNIGHTS.
Next Sunday we will be at Bishopston Primary School, meet in the car park at 11am, we'll be training in the playing fields.
It would be great to see more players & Lisa wants more girls!

2011-09-06T20:00:00.001+01:00

Coaches have been found but more help is always needed! Beach Rugby is starting this Sunday 11th Sept 1145am. All welcome!

2011-05-15T22:15:00.006+01:00

Well that's it. The end of the first season for the Dragons.

We had a our last training session of the season on Caswell beach. We all had fun playing bulldogs, relay races with the parents and finished with a game of tag rugby.

I have a number of people that I need to thank.

Thank you Dexter, Rhidian and Will for the present.

Thank you Dylan for your help.

Thank you Grant for helping us get started, for the T-Shirt and for the cash from shirt sales.

A big thank you to Nigel for helping me throughout the season. I would have been lost without you!

Finally thank you, the parents, for supporting your kids rain and shine.

I hope the kids had fun, I know that we did!

See you on the grass in a few months!

Mark, Grant and Nigel.

2011-05-07T21:40:00.003+01:00

The Dragons played their first game against another club today. They played against Gwernyfed RFC Under 6's in Underhill Park. We then mixed with the visiting team and the Predators for another game.

I was really impressed with the Dragons they got stuck in and enjoyed themselves. That's really impressive especially when playing against bigger boys.

If anyone has photos please send them to me and I will put them on the blog.

I hope you will join us next week for our last training session. I need to collect the jerseys at the end of the session so please make sure the kids wear a T-Shirt under their jerseys.

See you on the beach,

Mark.

End of Season Newsletter

2011-05-07T21:28:00.003+01:00

Last training session
The end of the season is almost with us. Our last training session will be at 10:30 on 15 May at Caswell.

What happens next year?
If your child will be 6+ years old on 1 September 2011 they will stay with the Dragons and start playing against other teams. If they are under 6 they can stay on the beach for another year.
The first event for everyone will be the Rugby Fun day on the ‘Cracker 7’s’ weekend. This will take place on Saturday 27 August in Underhill Park.

Welsh Rugby Union Registration
The Dragons (players over 6) need to register with the Welsh Rugby Union before they can play next year. This registration also covers personal injury insurance. We will be handing out registration cards. Please complete these, with photographs, and return them to Mark as soon as possible.

Who will the Dragons play?
We will play against other under 7’s teams in the Swansea and Gower area. The club also hosts touring sides from all over the UK. The Dragons first game next year is against South Gower (away!) on 4 September. The provisional fixture list is enclosed. All our home games will be held at Bishopston.
Communications

The Dragons have a new blog page: www.mumbles-dragons.blogspot.com

For beach players the blog address remains un-changed: www.mumblesbeachrugby.blogspot.com

The Dragons will continue to use the ‘Teamer’ web site to send you text messages about events.

Are you able to help next year?
We are looking for volunteers to run the beach rugby next year.
Nigel and I would also appreciate help with the Dragons.

If you would like to help with coaching please let Mark know. Mumbles Rugby Club will pay for you to do a tag leaders course. The courses are run by the Ospreys development officer. They are good fun and very informative. These courses are suitable for complete rugby novices. At this age it’s all about having fun.

Thank You!
I hope that your kids have enjoyed the rugby and will continue to play next year. I was really apprehensive about becoming a coach but have really enjoyed it.

Looking back at the photographs on the blog confirms just how much passion and effort the Dragons put into their playing............when they weren’t building sand castles!

Because of the high tides we played at Bishopston this week with the older tag teams. The weather was fantastic.

David won the bulldog game and scored a great try to finish.

We split into 4 groups and practiced the 'tag and pass' sequence. Will, Oliver Sam and Luca really impressed me with their passing skills.

The relay race was good fun. The Dragons passing and catching was great. Well done.

The Dragons finished by playing their first match. We joined the Mumbles Predators and played in 2 games. Nigel Grant and I were really proud of how well everyone played.

A few parents have asked if they should get 'togs' (rugby or football boots). I think it's a good idea. The kids love them. We will be playing on the grass again this year. You can get a really good quality pair for a reasonable price in discount sports shops such as Sports Direct in town.

Nigel found a child's Fat Face coat. He will bring this next week.

Well done Dragons you were great!

See you on the beach next week. We will return to Bishopston on 27 March.

Nigel, Grant and Mark.

2011-02-27T21:52:00.005Z

On 27 February The Dragons played some really good rugby despite the poor weather.

We thought the ospreys and ostriches game would help develop reaction times and tagging skills. What it did do was to identify those Dragons with initiative; more commonly know as cheats!

Last week, 6 March, Dexter won the bulldog game, again! Sam really impressed me with the quality of his passes. Will and David scored fantastic tries in the tag game.

Next week the tide is in and we will need to play at a different venue.

Training times are now displayed on the right hand side of the Blog page.

See you next week.

Nigel, Mal and Mark.

Some fantastic photos from Luca's dad

2011-02-25T22:12:00.001Z

2011-02-25T21:59:00.003Z

We had a great session last week. It was nice to be back on the beach after a couple of cancelled training sessions.

We were joined by some new Dragons.

I was really pleased with the rugby, especially the tag game at the end.

After the rugby we went back to the club for hot dogs.

Hope to see you on the beach next Sunday.

Nigel and Mark.

Dragons hit the beach again after the Christmas break

2011-01-09T14:10:00.002Z

The Dragons were back on the beach today after the Christmas break. We had a great time in lovely weather.

The team looked fantastic in their new jerseys.

We welcomed a new Dragon to our team today. Roan played really well and scored 2 tries in his fist game. Well done!

Dexter won the bulldog game and then beat the rest of the team who were trying to tag him. Luca did some fantastic tagging.

I was really pleased with how everyone played today but we still need to improve our passing and catching. If you get a chance try and practice this at home.

See you on the beach next week,

Mark, Nigel and Mal.

2010-12-16T19:50:00.002Z

This Sunday will be the last session of the year. To celebrate Christmas the other Mumbles junior teams are going to join us on the beach. We then plan to go back to the clubhouse for hot dogs. Please try and join us if you can.

If we have to cancel rugby because of the weather I will send a text and put a post on the blog.

I hope to see you on the beach at 10:45 on Sunday 19 December.

Mark.

2010-11-30T19:31:00.002Z

High tides and freezing temperatures resulted in us playing in the afternoon for the first time.

The weather was bitterly cold but the 7 hardy Dragons who braved the cold at Caswell beach were brilliant. It was so cold that I did not bother with photos this week!

We were joined by Luca who scored 2 tries in the Tag game at the end of the session; well done!

The blue team played some brilliant defensive rugby under the expert coaching of Mal.

I am sorry for the disruption. We are back on Caswell beach at 10:30am on Sunday 5 December.

I hope to see you on Sunday.

Mark.

2010-11-27T13:12:00.003Z

Another nice day on the beach.

The Dragons appeared to have lost the ability to tag! Our game of bulldogs could have gone on for ever. After we got over that problem everyone played really well.

Thank you Mal for helping us with the tag game.

Player of the week was Alex who scored a great try in our game of Tag at the end of the session. Well done.

I think we also showed South Gower, who were training on the beach as well, just who was the better team!

See you next weak,

Nigel and Mark.

2010-11-11T21:36:00.002Z

Another good session on the beach last Sunday. The weather was fantastic again.

Everyone enjoyed the warm up game running around pretending to be Hook, Tiatia, Henson and Williams. I just hope Gavin Henson does not spot the Dragons doing the waltz when I call out his name!

We played a longer game of tag rugby than usual and it was great to see the Dragons passing the ball and supporting each other. Well done everyone.

Nigel and Mark.

2010-11-05T20:24:00.003Z

Rugby, on Sunday 7 November, will be at 10:30. See you on Caswell beach, Mark.

2010-10-31T22:22:00.002Z

It was Halloween today so we had a spooky training session. I forgot that the clocks had gone back and messed up the tidal forecast so had to switch our session to Underhill Park, Mumbles.....Sorry!

Once at the park everyone had a great time. Some of the players spent more of their time diving on the muddy grass than standing on their feet but they had fun.

Rhydian deserves a special mention this week. His tagging and ball interception were really good; Well done.

My favorite bit of the session was watching the Zombie impressions. Grant was a natural!

Hope you enjoy the photos. See you on the beach next week.

Grant, Nigel and Mark.

2010-10-24T20:39:00.002+01:00

The Dragons played some fantastic rugby today. I've just been looking through the photos and you can tell how much effort they are all putting in to their rugby.

Dexter deserves a special mention. He won the bulldog game and beat the rest of the Dragons who were trying to tag him. Well done!

In the tag rugby game at the end Aedan scored a great try; our very own Shane Williams!

Finally I would like to welcome Douglas to our team.

Great playing everyone. See you on the beach next week.

Nigel, Martin and Mark.

2010-10-17T13:00:00.003+01:00

Just back from another really good day on the beach. The weather was fantastic again.

Welcome to our new Dragon, Max. He helped me run the bulldog game and scored a great try in the game, well done!

We played some new games with the Dragons today. The boys and girls are starting to play some really good rugby with passes and tries in the tag game.

The Dragons homework is to practice passing and catching the ball. Remember to hold your hands up and make an 'O' for Ospreys if you are catching. When passing hold the ball with both hands and aim for the catches chest.

See you on the beach next week. Grant, Nigel and Mark.

2010-10-16T09:40:00.002+01:00

Our next tag rugby session on the beach will take place at 10am on Sunday 17 October. See you on Caswell beach. Mark.

2010-10-10T23:27:00.002+01:00

The weather was fantastic today and we all had a great day on the beach.

We were joined by 4 new Dragons Oliver, Dulan, Rhys and Evelyn. Welcome to our team.

Nigel and I were really impressed with the Dragons rugby today. Running, scoring and passing was all really good. We were particularly pleased with the tag game at the end of our session. There were some great tries and some good passing. Well done everyone.

Thank you to Martin for helping us during the game.

I hope you enjoy the photos.

Mark.

2010-09-28T19:56:00.002+01:00

The Dragons had a great session on the beach. The sun was out, and fortunately so was the tide; but only just!

I was really impressed with the running, swerving and scoring.....just like Shane Williams!

The tag game at the end was really good with some fantastic tries from the boys.

We followed the rugby with a trip to Mumbles Rugby Club for free hot dogs. I hope this is something the kids enjoyed. We will do this again, but not every week, as I am conscious that you probably have other commitments.

I was really grateful for Nigel's help with the coaching. If any parents would like to do a Tag Rugby Coaching course please let me know.

See you on the beach next week,

Mark.

Dragons first session on the beach

2010-09-19T21:22:00.002+01:00

The Dragons had their first session on Caswell beach today. Everyone, players and coaches, had a great time despite the windy weather.

My highlight of the morning was William who ran the entire length of the pitch and sored a fantastic try.....in his own half! When he realised he ran all the way to the other end and scored again.

I have posted a few pictures of the session and will try and put the rest in a slide show at a later date.

I am sorry that I did not get the opportunity to talk with the parents. Next week you are welcome to join the other junior teams at the rugby club for hot dogs. We should have a bit more time for a chat then.

Please watch the blog for details of next weeks training.

Mark.

Rugby starts this Sunday

2010-09-13T23:17:00.004+01:00

The new season starts on Caswell Beach on Sunday 19 September at 10:30am.

This seasons beach rugby

2010-09-02T23:37:00.003+01:00

The new rugby season is here. I have been persuaded by John to be a coach for this years beach rugby. My old school games teacher, Mr Wyn Thomas, would find this most amusing!

I intend to start the beach rugby again mid way through September. This will give me time to recruit a few more players when school starts again.

Our team will be called the Mumbles Dragons.

Beach rugby is a great way for the under 6's to experience tag rugby in an amazing setting. We will play each Sunday on the beach at Caswell. Our training times will vary with the tides; watch the blog for details. Please give me a call if you are interested in joining us.

See you on the beach, Mark (01792 417185).

Rugby Fun Day

2010-09-02T23:22:00.003+01:00

This year for the first time Mumbles Rugby club organised their first fun day to coincide with the Cracker 7's. The event was a great success.

The fun day took place in Underhill Park on 28 September.

Two of our players, David and Rhys, joined the 'Predators' (last years beach team) as they played their first match against Gowerton.

No one was really sure of the score but in the words of Grant Broad "rugby was the winner!"

I would like to thank Phil for refing and John for allowing our boys to join his team.

After the match both team met Ospreys stars Alun Wyn Jones and Jonathan Thomas. Their signed photos will make other envious in 'show and tell' when they return to school.

Saturday 28th August - Family fun day at Underhill Park

2010-08-25T14:47:00.003+01:00

This Saturday, the club has organised an event for the junior division on the eve of the Cracker 7's tournament. The fun will begin at 2.00pm until 5.00pm.

Members of the first XV will run a BBQ and offer coaching clinics. There will be a kicking competition, a tug of war and Stocks to "soak your coach". The available beer tent will be selling both alcoholic and soft drinks.

The U6's and U'7 (that's any new Beach Rugby recruits and the Predators) will have the opportunity of a training session and dependent on numbers some may even have a match. So bring your togs and we will have an early start and warm-up session at 1.30pm on Saturday.

The Ospreys' new captain Alan Wyn Jones and Welsh International Jonathan Thomas will be joining us to give a short coaching session and sign autographs. So, bring your autograph books and pens!

Please spread the word and encourage as many parents & kids to come along. See you on Saturday!

Last training day of the season!

Beach Rugby will continue this week with the penultimate end of Season training with normal format. Next week Sunday the 9th May will be the last "Hotdog" training session of the season with the Predators saying goodbye to Caswell beach. Over the next two weeks we need to get all players registered for next season. Unfortunately we can only register the first twenty five players next year so we would like to give all the beach players the first opportunity.

Below are some photo's of last weeks fantastic rugby fest. I would like to send a great thank you to all organisers,volunteers & Grant Broad + family for a well organised event.

All Predators did themselves extremely proud and we had some fantastic feedback from older players & coaches about how well the Predators played both on and off the pitch. I'm sure you will all agree that we are now ready for some fixtures of our own!

Tony, Chris & I were extremely proud of all players and how they integrated & played. Well Done All!

Note: Any rugby shirts not handed back, please can you bring and hand in over the next two weeks. Next year Kit will be provided, but the club would like to evaluate how many new shirts need to be ordered for next year.

See you all 11am Sunday, keep an eye on the blog.

This week Tony, Owen and I felt there were some fantastic tries, from reds and yellows, as each side put passes together to score. Also some great tagging from all players with Aiden & Torin do very well in the bulldogs. Other tries scored David, James, Ethan, Rhys & Torrin. Great running and warm ups by all.

We are on the beach this week as normal 11.15am Tony & Chris will run the session. I am at the Hong Kong sevens doing some rugby research for next year!!

We then intend to have an Easter break for two weeks, hope that is ok with all. As mentioned prior we will finish this season some time in May. We have two main events before then, traditional Hot Dogs on the beach to say goodbye to Caswell Beach & Mini Finale tournament with the other juniors at Underhill Park. Dates will be confirmed after the Easter break. Keep an eye on the blog.

Caswell 11.15am

2010-03-18T20:45:00.001Z

Hope to see you all on the beach this weekend weather permitting. Please keep an eye on the blog.

Mumbles predators show off skills at Bish!

2010-03-10T20:14:00.006Z

Tony and I were very happy with all of the play this week, the predators showing some great lines, tag tackles, tries & some strong running from all.The theme of the session was to keep warm and fight the cold snap. Well done to Torrin for winning the tag bulldogs this week. Thanks to all the Mums and Dads for turning out in record numbers.

Some predators & family asked about how long we would keep practicing for this year? The plan is to train until the end of May. During May we will have a mini tournament with the under 7's & under 8's at Underhill park. We will then break until the summer hols. During the summer school break we would like to meet once a week probably a week day early evening to keep the predators learning and fresh for next season. Fixtures and training for the 2010/11 year will begin officially in September.

Kit: We have one rugby shirt left up for grabs, 1 hat (£5), No gloves (£5). We plan to put another order in for September. However, if there is enough demand then we can order through the club before. The rugby shirts are "hand me downs" and I am asking some of the older teams for spares and my goal is to find kit for all. We would like to start collecting subs of 50p per week to cover hot dogs and save for next year, hope everybody is happy with that amount.

Hope all that went back to the cricket club enjoyed the hot dogs. We are back on the beach this week at 11.15 am. Chris and Tony will be running the session this week, Tracy & I are in Dublin doing some rugby research and spying for the predators. Keep an eye on the blog!

Change of Venue!

2010-03-06T16:26:00.002Z

We will be training at Bishopston Sport Centre's playing fields this week at 11.15am. This will give the opportunity to view the older teams playing their matches - something the Predators will experience next season.

If any of the players have togs, please feel free to wear them. All junior sides are invited to the Mumbles Cricket Club after training for hotdogs.

Tags & Tries on a Sunny Caswell Morning

2010-02-25T22:08:00.010Z

Thanks for the great turn out and parental support on what was a great sunny morning with lots of tags & tries.

Hope everyone enjoyed the thorough session this week, we like to give everyone a good workout and a go of tagging and running with the ball, hence the extra recent numbers have forced slightly longer sessions.

The predators did themselves proud with some fantastic tries, tags, running and passing. We were particularly pleased with some tries scored after two or three tag passes with Ethan, Daff, Rhys T & Rhys M showing some great support play.

Well done to Zoey & Will for some clever play in the Bulldogs with Will once again winning outright.

Reds beat yellows this week 4 / 2 with some great tries from James (2) Zoey (2)David & Ethan getting 1 each.

Spacing Out!

Making Plans.

Well done Will.

Great Passing & lines! See you all next week at 11.15am. Keep an eye on the blog.

New Starters Shine!

2010-02-19T19:26:00.004Z

It was great to play on the beach with no rain and although a little chilly the predators once again did themselves proud.

We were particularly pleased to see the new predators Aiden & David playing well amongst the vets, together with the new starters Rhys & Dylan. Hopefully we will see them over the next few weeks and give them their first predator caps.

Well done to Will & Ethan for winning the bulldogs! Also thanks to David Morgan for stepping in for Chris.

The boys & girls are generally doing very very well. However, we are now in the Autumn of the season and Chris, Tony, David and I will be following the tag rules more closely over the coming weeks in preparation for next seasons fixtures.

Although most coaches bend the rules eg running out of the lines and knock on etc: some don't. So the predators need to start getting used to things not necessarily going to plan or their own way.

The main focus areas are passing, tagging and declaring with your hand in the air, staying inside the lines, no diving, contact, hand offs etc. So if you get chance predators practice in your gardens with your friends and family during the week.

Sorry all, about the lack of photos we will try and remember the camera this week.

SEE YOU ALL SUNDAY 11.15am weather depending, keep an eye on the blog.

Back to 11.15am!

2010-02-12T19:56:00.002Z

Yes, rugby is on this Valentine! Meet usual time of 11.15am and wrap up warm as it will probably be chilly!

9.15pm this Sunday!

2010-02-05T13:09:00.012Z

Due to a high tide at around 12.00pm we have decided to meet earlier instead of cancelling. We will start at 9.15am which is somewhat earlier however the cafe will be available for strong coffees etc.

We were pleased to have a few new players joining us on the beach last Sunday. Well done for adjusting so quickly to the warm-ups and rules of play. We hope to see you again on Sunday.

Thank you to Tony for being Referee whilst Jon was away - a job well done!

Also thank you to Nigel for the photos. If anyone takes any beach rugby photos please feel free to email them to me at 'PriceTA1@cf.ac.uk' and I will try and use them for the blog.

Sunday 31st January

2010-01-29T13:58:00.007Z

Well done to everyone last Sunday. Players showed skills with passing, catching, spreading out across the field and good running resulting in the odd try.

Same time again this week, 11.15am (weather permitting). Please keep your eye on the blog, and changes will be announced by 10.00am Sunday morning.

Rugby Fest at Caswell !

2010-01-17T17:40:00.011Z

Turning up at caswell today was like walking into a rugby festival! It was great to see our neighbours from south gower showing their skills & strength in depth.

After a short delay, the predators then showed off some skills of their own with a
very good warm up, excellent passing, bulldogs & with a first class game; yellows winning 3/2.

The highlights today were Daff, James, Ethan (tries) James, Will, Ethan for tagging. Whilst Zoey, Rhys T & Will had great results in the bulldog games. Rhys M had the best" Shane Williams " today with some brilliant running and dogging. Luke, Zoey, & Rhys T also showed great support play.

Home work : To practise with mums, dads, brothers & sisters for all predator's to spread out in line, remember if you can touch a player in line, attack or defence, you are too close. The following pictures demonstrate good lines.

Fingers crossed for a repeat of the sunshine like today.See you all next week 11.15 am at Caswell, keep an eye on the blog!

Rugby Back On!

2010-01-16T17:46:00.001Z

Yes, we are back on at the beach tomorrow for 11.15am. Hope to see you all there.

Sunday session cancelled

2010-01-08T20:01:00.001Z

Due to the bad weather forecast and cold temperatures, Sunday's session is cancelled.

Happy Rugby New Year!

2010-01-05T21:28:00.013Z

Just thought I would remind you all of the Tagtastic Rugby & Try Fest on the Family tag day before Christmas. With the predators beating the parents 10 tries to 4. All the players looked and played fantastic in their new kit. Thank you to all the players & family guests for a very enjoyable morning.

The predators would like to take the opportunity to thank Grant & the ladies at the rugby club for providing selection boxes & hot dogs & games. Everyone enjoyed.

See you all Sunday at 11.15 am, weather depending, keep an eye on the blog!

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.

The Predators win the battle with winter conditions!

2009-12-01T22:38:00.004Z

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.

Keep your fingers crossed for good weather

2009-11-27T21:30:00.002Z

The tide is on our side. The players are keen. We just need the weather. So we will plan for 11.15am and hope for the best. Keep an eye on the blog. We will make a decision by 10.00am Sunday with an update on the blog and a text to all (as long as we have a mobile contact).

Hope to see you all there!

Rugby is cancelled

2009-11-22T09:49:00.001Z

Weather seems to be getting worse, not better. Keep an eye on the blog for next week.

Rain forecast for Sunday

2009-11-20T20:04:00.002Z

Once again I would like to apologise for the late cancellation last Sunday. Hopefully you all got a text.
Unfortunately heavy rain is forecast again this weekend but on Sunday morning it turns heavy to light late morning. So we will try for 11.15am meet and will brave light rain. Any worse conditions, please keep an eye on the blog anytime up until about 11.00am.
There is no getogether at the cricket club this week as all Mumbles Rugby teams are playing away. We will rearrange for another time.

Gig at the rugby Club next Saturday

2009-11-17T14:45:00.001Z

The Contenders are playing a Gig at Mumbles Rugby club next Saturday. Watch the Argentina match then rock the night away.

The Contenders are sponsoring the under 12s team this season, so all proceeds will be going to their new kit. Txt Mike G if you want tickets (07846 334962). £3 in advance or on the night. Bargain.

Beach rugby cancelled!

2009-11-15T10:00:00.002Z

All Mumbles Rugby cancelled, including Beach Rugby, due to general high winds and cold rain. The get together at the Cricket Club is also cancelled. Hopefully we won't have too many disappointed players.

Let's hope our good luck with the weather returns next week. Keep an eye on the blog.

11.15 am Beach Rugby & Hotdogs !

2009-11-12T23:31:00.010Z

This week we will have a later start once again, hope this time is OK with everyone.

Every week the Mumbles RFC U'7's 8's & 9's (all tag teams) have started to meet at mumbles cricket club for hot dogs. This week we have an invite to join them. The sides normally play at Bishopston school and arrive at the club between 11.30 & 12 noon. This will give the predators a taste of what is to come next season.

The facility is ideal for the kids and provides a mini social for parents. I plan to speak to the caterers and organise some extra hot dogs for the "predators". If we arrive for circa 12.30 I hope the hot dog rush will be over and the predators can fill their boots. This will be an ideal opportunity to get some feedback from parents, organise registration ,subs & discuss forthcoming events for example the Mumbles Tag Rugby Christmas Party & The traditional Christmas Parents v Mumbles Predators game that must take place before the end of the year. So I hope you can all make it to the club for a short while. See you on the beach for 11.15am, Jon.

For Directions to Mumbles Cricket Club please see link on Wildcats or Vikings page.

Tag--tastic !!!!

2009-11-08T21:53:00.016Z

We have had some great luck with the weather, today being no exception. The beach welcomed us with large waves, sunshine & lolly pops.

Great to be back on home soil (sand)! It was good to have an almost full squad on the beach, made up of some new faces. I thought the new young lady that had her debut, did particularly well, scoring a try and winning two of the warm ups. Sorry Mum, I should have given you a reg.form, see you next time.

Today was very pleasing for Chris, Tony & I as it was the first time the predators tagged six times in a row to claim the ball from the opposite team. Both red & yellow teams were tagtastic! Once again Will, James, Dav & Ethan showed great defensive skills and some seriously body-on-the-line tags.

Both Torin & Oliver did some great running in bulldogs today, with the try fest provided by all players - the best in my opinion coming from Luke (from Ethan), when the yellows showed great support play. Hope all players enjoyed the new games, we will practice these over the next few weeks.

Making a Plan & discussing tactics !

Deserved Refreshments !

See you all next week, weather & tide depending, keep an eye on the blog for times.

11am start & back to the beach!!

2009-11-05T20:11:00.005Z

This week we will be having a later start, hope that is OK for all. Once again their is a particular high tide which arrives at 9.30am & the park is flooded due to the monsoon rains. See you at 11am on the beach, boys don't forget warm clothes as the temperature has now dropped and you can always remove layers if needed.

No Beach rugby this weekend 1st November

2009-10-30T19:20:00.003Z

Due to half-term break there will be no beach rugby this weekend, see you back down at Caswell next weekend the 8th, time to be confirmed.

The Predators Graced Underhill Park

2009-10-27T20:24:00.005Z

It was great to see the predators play so well on grass. Highlights of the session came from Will & James who showed some great tagging skills with strong running & scores coming from Luke, Louis, Ethan, Rees & Torin.

This week we had a spy up at the Ospreys tag training ground in LLandarcy, so over the next couple of weeks we will be introducing some new games & fun warm ups.

The park provided a good alternative venue to the beach when we have high tide. I was asked why we don't play there all the time? The main reasons are, officially all the predators would need boots and also we do not have an official slot from the park keeper or Mumbles RFC, however this will all change next year.

Hope everybody enjoyed the extra hour in bed not like coach Jon & family, who forgot about the time change and turned up at the park one hour early! Stop Laughing!

Keep an eye on the blog for next weeks arrangements !

Change of venue for this weekend!

2009-10-23T19:51:00.002+01:00

The tide is against us this week so we will be meeting at Underhill Park near the swings for 9.15am. If the players have boots they can wear them, otherwise trainers as usual will be fine.

Ps. Please remember any outstanding registration forms. We will also be collecting a joining fee of £5.00 per player.

It was Wet and Windy

2009-10-11T18:20:00.003+01:00

Well done to all the players who made it to a wet and windy practise! It was our first weather challenge and the arrival of players persuaded the coaches to continue as planned.

The prime objective of the session was to stay busy and warm and we all got a good workout. Everyone should sleep well tonight! During the game once again there was some great solo tries and the coaches noticed the beginnings of some good support players. Well done, see you next week - 9.15am.

A note to the parents: We will be looking to start collecting subs for the Mumbles Predators account next week. We are proposing a £5.00 joining fee with a £4.00/month standing order. All monies will be spent on the team.

Lastly, please pass the word around to any interested Year 1's who would like to join The Predators. We are hoping to build a full side for next season's fixtures down at Underhill Park.

More great weather at the beach

2009-10-05T20:33:00.002+01:00

Sunday morning gave us another great day for beach rugby. The players were in full spirit and enjoyed the usual warm-up, drills and game of TAG rugby.

Welcome to Torin who displayed winning talent with good tagging skills and a debut try. Other tries came from Louis, Luke and James. Well done lads!

This Sunday (11th) the tide will be coming in, and we will be tight for time and possibly space. But not wanting to disappoint the players we will begin at 9.00am and play for as long as the tide allows. See you down the beach.

"Mumbles Predators" have arrived!

2009-10-02T20:13:00.008+01:00

Following agreement from the players on Sunday, we have decided on our name: "Mumbles Predators".

After a good warm-up, a passing skills practice and an introduction to the TAG belts the players impressed the coaches with their first game of TAG rugby. All players had the opportunity to handle the ball with tries from James, Mason, Ethan, Will and Louis, giving a result of Reds: 3, Yellows: 3.

We hope to see more of the same next week. Same time of 9.15am.

Same place, same time.

2009-09-24T20:31:00.002+01:00

High tide is around 11.50am this Sunday, so we will be meeting at 9.15am as usual. See you there.

High tide delays kick off!

2009-09-20T20:42:00.007+01:00

After an unexpected high tide delay, apologies to all, our second session kicked off as planned with 11 keen players. Welcome to the three newcomers, Marley, Jess and Louis.

This week we introduced "stuck in the sand/mud" which the children thoroughly enjoyed. Mason and Ethan's side stepping skills impressed Coach Chris. All players now understand the rules of touch and try lines though practice is still required.

After splitting into two relay teams Coach Jon was pleased that all players scored some great tries and Oliver and Will showed some great ball skills.

During the end of training game Luke, Rees and James showed excellent support skills with Dav running in two late tries. Well done all! See you again next week for our first game of TAG!

Parents please can you remember the registration forms. See you again next Sunday, time still to be confirmed depending on tide times.

U6's kick off with fantastic weather at Caswell

2009-09-13T21:24:00.008+01:00

Well wow, what a good start to this season's beach rugby! The weater was definitely on our side.

All fourteen players impressed the coaches (Jon, Tony and Chris) by learning fast. After the warm-up the theory of try and touch lines was quickly understood. Splitting into groups of two's and three's they demonstrated their ball skills and learnt how to pass the ball across their body with pointed fingers in the direction of their receiving team mate. It was heard that one team claimed 110 passes! Let's hope their optimism continues. It was a productive hour which ended with several games of "Touch bulldog" and a game of touch rugby producing 3 tries!

Parents please remember your signed registration forms and we hope to see you all down the beach again next Sunday at 9.15am. To all the boys and girls, well done!

Mumbles Beach Rugby 2009 wants you!

2009-09-09T21:39:00.002+01:00

Hello to all Year One's (boys and girls). Come join us on Caswell Beach, Sunday morning 13th Sept 9.15 - 10.00am. And if you struggle to get your parents out and about, remind them there is a great cafe serving hot drinks, bacon butties etc.

Dress according to the weather and only trainers necessary.
All welcome!

End of the Season!

2009-05-11T09:33:00.000+01:00

We were blessed with great sunshine and warmth at Underhill on Sunday, and a great time was had by all. The Vikings team did really well and should in no way be put off by some of the Wildcats players! You will definately all be able to run and score tries in games next season when you play against teams of your own age!

On behalf of Grant and I, thanks for the beers! It has been a pleasure to work with your sons over the last season and we look forward to many more exciting opportunities ahead!

Have a great Summer and see you all fit and raring to go in September!

Sunday 10th May:

Wildcat - Vikings Tournament, BBQ . DON’T MISS IT!

I am pleased to say that normal tag rugby service will resume after the Easter break - check the blog next week for an update on the time.

Have a great Easter break everyone!

See you all at 9.30 usual place this Saturday!

Sponsorship and help for next years beach team

2009-03-30T10:06:00.003+01:00

We have come to that time when we are thinking about next year. Many of the older junior club teams have kit sponsors. This involves kind donations from establishments helping towards the cost of a kit for the Mumbles Vikings for next year. Obviously the more sponsorship we can get, the more kit items we are able to supply to the boys in the team. If you or if you know of anyone who may be in a position to help with this for next season please speak to Grant at the beach and he will be able to provide more details.

We have also had some parents asking about coaching for next season at the beach for the next team coming through the age groups. All current coaches for the Vikings will be moving from the beach to the park for Sunday morning tag rugby. Therefore the new beach rugby team for next year is in need of some coaches. We have one Dad say he is keen to get involved but due to work commitments is unable to "front" the coaching team.

Obviously, the people who decide to give it a go will not be alone, they can draw upon the expert knowledge of Grant and also have the opportunity to go on Osprey run coaching courses to help with ideas to keep the team entertained for an hour on the beach!

Again, if you know of anyone or if you have a son/daughter who is the right age for next year and want to get involved please speak to Grant, Lee or Matthew (or email mathrees@btinternet.com) at the beach so we can help get you started.

Great Session today - despite the weather!

2009-03-28T11:36:00.003Z

I think it is safe to say that all boys have progressed really well this term. Thinking back to the standard we had when we first started, all boys have moved on and are beginning to understand the game of rugby. It is really good to see them enjoying the experience, which hopefully will keep them interested for the rest of their lives!

There will be no session next week due to some of the coaches going on a camping trip! I shall let you decide which one is Grant, and which is Matthew.

Training this week, and news of our first fixture!

2009-03-24T11:40:00.003Z

As we are nearing the end of the rugby season, we are beginning to think of introducing the boys into a full tag game situation. The next age group up from our team is the Mumbles Wildcats. They have invited us to Underhill Park for a tag tournament. The dates for this will be sometime in May, hopefully we can choose a sunny Saturday or Sunday morning for the game. The idea is that we will split up into 3 mixed teams and everyone will play each other to get an idea of what is in store for next season.

We will hold a session from 9.30 this saturday at the beach, there is a high tide at around 7 am but hopefully there will be enough sand for us to have a run on at our usual time.

Session 9.30 at the beach 21st March

2009-03-17T12:38:00.003Z

In preparation for an afternoon / early evening televisual feast of rugby, we will have a session at the beach at the usual time.

See you all then!

Training Saturday 14th March

2009-03-10T10:01:00.002Z

The Sea seems to be against us regularly this year! Full tide at about 8.30 - quite a high one too. With the weather forecast not looking to promising either we have decided to call off the training for the team this week.

One or two have asked if we could train on Underhill but there isn't much to be learned playing tag rugby in a bog. The boys have a great introduction to rugby and there is no need to put them off in the wind and rain.

Enjoy your lie in!

Predictions for the 6 Nations games;

Italy 6 Wales 21
Scotland 12 Ireland 15
England 3 France 21 (Sorry Scott!)

Sring has Sprung - training at the beach this Saturday

2009-03-02T11:56:00.002Z

Hopefully, we will be able to feel the warmth of the early spring sunshine on our backs this Saturday. Meet at 9.30 at Caswell for training this week.

See you all there.

Saturday 28th February

The tides are not favourable for us again on Saturday, so we will make the call to have a session down at Underhill at 9.30 this Saturday morning.

Hopefully we will be reliving the events of the previous night - a fine Welsh victory.
