Mumbles Vikings at the Liberty

Training 5pm @ Underhill ; Fall Bay (AWAY) Sunday 10.30am

A great result at the Liberty Stadium with a 5:2 win. With another ref taking charge in a more competative type tournament, it wasn't just rugby that was the winner this time! We are through to the next round and more details will be posted in due course for round 2.


Thanks to Matthew Gumpter and Steve Ace today for acting as a referee and coach respectively when we hosted Dunvant. The team really showed signs of development and improvement. It was great to see them dropping and spreading across the field after each tag, with a readiness to tag again and put Dunvant under pressure. When in possession it was also really pleasing to see the team supporting the ball carrier, and a number of great team tries were scored with quick passing as soon as they were tagged, (passing to their nearest team-mate in support and not just their best pals).


Training this week is again on Friday 01/10/10 at 5pm at Underhill - (and shall remain so from now on until advised otherwised).


Sunday 03/10/10 - we are AWAY to Fall Bay RFC with Phil and Lee as coaches. Directions for Fall Bay RFC - http://www.fallbayrfc.co.uk/find-us/

Despite being a competative knock out tounament, the event is primarily about having fun and enjoying the atmosphere (irrespective of the result) - please emphasise this and not the importance of winning to your children. The game will last 7 mins in total, so don't blink !

Gowerton (AWAY) 19/09/10

A 3 way round robin of matches today with Penclawdd and Dunvant was a great success enabling everyone to have plenty of time and opportunity to get stuck in.

Next week it's our old friend Gowerton (AWAY).

Lougher & Neath played and Penclawdd 'Donkeys' next up

A fantastic job was done by Phil and Lee today (no doubt ably assisted by our ever growing coaching team) in satisfying our equally ever expanding and sizeable squad by playing a triangular set of matches with Lougher and Neath. Training will be 5pm at Underhill again this week with Penclawydd hosted at Bishopston on Sunday 12th - 10.30am. Back to the Rugby Club for hot dogs at 12pm.

A massive thank you also to Sam Ward-Jones and Tracy Caplin who along with Tracy Price (from the Predators) faced the trials and tribulations of the Mumbles RFC kitchen. We hope to have catering volunteers from the Wildcats next week when we host Penclawdd at the rugby club(12pm), but there will be plenty of further opportunity through the remainder of the season for other Vikings parents to put up their hands and be counted in the kitchen, so please don't be shy - our hot dogs need you!
