GOWERTON GAME CANCELLED

Sunday game against Gowerton RFC cancelled due to waterlogged pitch.

COMEDY NIGHT (STRICTLY ADULTS ONLY!)

Dear all,

I have arranged a comedy night at the rugby club on Friday 11th March 8.00 for 8.30. There will be 3 comedians and an M.C. to keep the night rolling. The night is open to all members and their guests, male and female. Inevitably there will be some choice language and blue humour but hopefully not to the point where anyone who has been fore warned will be offended.

Tickets will be £8.00 in advance or £10.00 on the night but I am hoping to sell out in advance of the night. To purchase tickets please contact either myself or Skinny behind the bar.

Your support of this event would be greatly appreciated.

Fancy learning more about rugby?

The local Referees Association, in conjunction with the Ospreys Coach Development Team, will be holding a series of practical clinics on various aspects of our game. The first of these sessions will be at Dunvant Rugby Club starting at 6.30 on Wednesday February 2nd. To receive direct future notifications please contact Tony Thomas on ahthomas@wru.co.uk or 07584488257.

The topic to be covered in this clinic will be the Scrummage. The referee James Jones will make a presentation on the subject and Duncan Jones, the Ospreys and Wales prop will be in attendance to provide a player’s insight into the murky world of scrummaging.

Even though competative scrummaging is still a long way off for our players (see 'Player Development' page opposite and click on the Pathway summary for more detail), all parents are welcome to attend if they want to gain a greater appreciation and understanding of this 'dark art'.

Week ending 23/01/11

Training continues on Fridays in Oystermouth gym at 5.30pm from now on until further notice(probably until the light allows us to return to the Park).

We play South Gower 'Seahorses' AWAY this Sunday - please meet in time to tag/warm up with Phil and Lee for an 11.00am K.O. Keep an eye on blog and Teamer for last minute notifications regarding frozen pitches.

Richmond RFC (LONDON) - Tournament 20/03/10

We have kindly received an invite from Richmond RFC to enter a tournament on Sunday 20/03/11. The day starts at 10am and will involve a minium of 5 games through the day, so together with travelling (independently I'm afraid - no bus as yet confirmed as on offer) it will prove quite a long day unless people choose to travel the night before and stay overnight (again independantly).

We also already have a committment to play Lougher RFC (away) on that day too, and so would also need to split the available squad that day to honour both events.

If you would definately like to enter the Richmond tournament could you please indicate this by 28/01/11 at the very latest. The event is totally free of charge but if we don't get the numbers required to enter and also leave enough to honour our game with Lougher, then I will need to inform Richmond RFC of this on Sat' 29/01/11 to allow them to source another club.
