Another fantastic season of rugby has been had by all in the Under 6 Team. We have really worked hard with both Reception and Year 1 children in developing core rugby skills. We have been extremely lucky in having a mild winter which has allowed us to train and keep an element of consistency throughout the season.
We have been fortunate to have the support of a fantastic team of coaches. I would like to thank Simon Turner, Phil Lane, Johnny Wilkinson, Tony Millward, Kelly Hewitson, Kate Martin, Gareth Farbon, John Burke, Neil Harrison, Alistair Middleton and Glen Young for their commitment and dedication throughout the season.
Christmas Assault Course
We’ve held a joint training session with Bedford Junior Blues – the first away session for some of the Reception children. It was a great day and wonderful to see so many families enjoying rugby.
We have also had a successful year in terms of fundraising, raising over £1000. This money will be used to support next Season in the Under 7 Team. In addition, in recognition of the player’s weekly commitment, at such a young age, we rewarded them with a fun day at Chicksands Military Base. Kindly organized by Coach Neil Harrison who is the Regimental Sergeant Major at the base. The fun day included an assault course, bouncy castle and a variety of rugby based games. It was brilliant to see the children engaging socially off the pitch.

Parents have also shown commitment throughout the season through supporting their children and the club by volunteering for parking and club house duties. Also assisting with fund raising throughout the season. Thank you.
We look forward to welcoming the children back next season in the U7 team.
