Welcome to the 2009/10 Season

After a steep learning curve at the beginning of last season following the introduction of contact, the squad consisting of a core of 16 players worked hard throughout the season against some very big well drilled sides. We finished the season on a high with a convincing couple of victories at Avonmouth.

This coming season we plan to consolidate the core contact skills of tackling, rucking and mauling, as well as introducing contested scrums and lineouts for the first time. In addition, we will be developing ball skills and moves,and our moto will be PACE AND SPACE.

As coaches, our aims are to develop a broad range of game skills for the players and their long term athletic development be they tall, short, broad or skinny,to encourage success and healthy competition, but strictly within a supportive context with a strong focus on enjoyment whatever the result.

Training and matches take place every Sunday from 10.00hrs to 12.00hrs at Stow RFC, with some matches away to local clubs (details are sent to parents by e-mail in the preceding week). New recruits always welcome.
