Mumbles Knights 1st ever Match Report.

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**

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!

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.

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!

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.
