What a great season for the club, with the 1st and 3rd ‘s winning there division and the 2nd’s pulling of some great results, I gather they beat Cheltenham North 17-13 too. There have been a few 4th team games which saw the training figures hit the 50 mark ,This summer should give us chance to try and boost the player base of the club, with a new coach arriving next season lets get behind the club and encourage new players.

Trudi Lewis / 2ND TEAM CAPTAINS REPORT
It was always going to be a tough season and we would have ended up much higher in the merit table if we hadn’t been stitched up on numerous occasions. What stood out for me was the player’s commitment on the pitch, never giving up and always letting the opposition know they had been in a tough game. We have gained a lot of respect this season and no team will take us lightly next year.

WOMENS RUGBY
The last game of the season against Hucclecote finished the season on a high for the ladies. Although we did not win, we produced a fantastic team effort and performance to finish the game within 5 points, having played the whole game with one player less due to injury. We finished the season in 5th place, and although the season has been plagued with injuries we have continued to improve as a team at each game. Many thanks to Steve Cooper and Teri Watkins for giving up their time to coach us this season. Enjoy the summer and see you at pre season training soon. Sarah Hayes
