Sunday 21st December 2008 - Home training

A dry chilly morning. Better than last weekend where you needed a boat to get to the clubhouse – matches cancelled due to waterlogged pitches.

Today is the last training session before Christmas. Tim arrived dressed as Santa, he looked the part especially as he had been up most of the night. Certainly outgrown that one!

Looking around the playing area there were red images everywhere as coaches got into the festive spirit. I’m sure the bar will be busy later!.

The players started to arrive, with Andy setting out the training. Shortly joined by Tim, Richard and Adrian.

Starting off with running about and the first game involving kicking the ball over the post to score points. The morning was very eventful with the players kept very busy. Cops and robbers certainly got then moving and passing well – otherwise they ended up in JAIL - What a quiet Christmas that would be! The coaches were running about too – well that lasted about 30 second - Ok then, a minute!.

Richard unwrapped sets of new red and yellow vest. The players were split into two teams for matches at the end of the training. A very entertaining and enjoyable session to watch with good support from all the parents.

Tim congratulated the players at the end of training and duty bound as ‘Santa’ a bar of chocolate for all – or more in some cases. A great first half to this season.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Sunday 7th December 2008 – Home against Farnham RFC.

Was it snow!!. No, Jack Frost had certainly been busy. It was white and very chilly outside. Thankfully there was blue sky with the morning sun shining through.

Farnham RFC were on their way, would the pitches be soft enough to play. Only time would tell.

Camberley had 20 players turning out – very well done on this very cold and frosty morning. Farnham RFC brought a good number aswell and the coaches got down to it, with the players warming up on pitch 2 in the areas brightly gleaming from the morning sunshine, allowing for matches between the squads to take place later into the training session. Farnham very well done and thanks for your visit to us.

Bob their head coach sent a text ‘Can you pass on our thanks to all the coaching team in u10s at Camberley. The Farnham boys had a great day. We all played some great rugby and considering the conditions we were very pleased to play. Good luck in the Season’.

Likewise Farnham, have a great season yourselves. See you at the Festivals!!.

Training Wednesday 3rd November 2008.

They are out there somewhere!!.

Only the hardy players turned out tonight as it is nearly zero degrees.
Andy, Richard and Alan are taking the training. It was more of a dry cold night than the cold and wet of the last two Sundays.

All the players were well wrapped up and they certainly cracked on with the training.

A very warm welcome to Sebastian who came along tonight to try out contact rugby at Camberley RFC. Certainly a delightful cry from his mum as he scored a try during the match at the end of training. The players moving and passing the ball well, Stuart also scoring with a diving try, he cut his lip in the process but it was all worth while.

Sunday 30th November 2008 - Home against Bracknell RFC

A ground hog day again – a very cold day at CRFC just like the week before!. Surprise Surprise it started to rain at 10am.

Tristan had his gum shield this week, so he will not be going home for an early bath like last week, shrewd or what!.

Today was training and matches against Bracknell RFC. Welcome to Camberley. Good numbers from both squads especially as the weather was awful.

The coaches started the training to keep the players moving and during the training the players seemed to be in high spirits as they were kept very busy. As the day moved forward Tim organised for two matches of 10 aside and to continually rotate the players on the sidelines. Both the Camberley teams did well against a very competitive Bracknell teams. Both Camberley teams running over a number of tries.

A big thank you for the efforts of the coaches, players and parents of both squads for this training session and hopefully you have all thawed out by now.
