Happy New Year All. Welcome back to rugby! I hope you all had a good break and, like all of us at the club, are looking forward to the action resuming.
Having seen our last games before the holidays cancelled (all fixtures across the leagues were postponed) it is great to be back. The players will have had a good period of rest and we resumed training this week to get any festive ,”rustiness” out of the system.
This Saturday we see The Gents away to Thanet and the Firsts playing CS Stags 1863. The Seconds this week are away and playing Bournemouth RFC, which is set to be an exciting challenge.
Sitting 4th in the league the First XV will has a tough challenge against CS. Although our visitors are struggling this season they have some good players and as I have said many times, there are no easy games in London SE Premier. We will need to be at our best and come out of the blocks quickly for what is our first game in a month.
As we enter the second half of the season, we know we are in a strong place to compete for a high finishing position in the league but will (cliche alert!) be taking each game as it comes.
The weather doesn’t look that good for Saturday, with rain likely and a sticky pitch probable but the boys will do their best to serve up another entertaining game. All support is welcome, giving you the first real opportunity to break that attempted ‘dry January’ 😃
