Sunday 21st February 2010 - Redingensians RFC Festival

A trip to Redingensians RFC festival for the ‘A’ Squad today, torrential rain at Camberley if you fancy rugby and water polo combined. Arriving at Redingensians there was no rain, but the ground was very wet and muddy – should be fun!

1st Game : 1020 : Farnham 0 - Camberley 0
2nd Game : 1100 : Camberley 3 - Abbey 0 (Tries from William, Ben & George)
3rd Game : 1200 : Camberley 1 - Redingensians 0 (Try by Dan Davis)
4th Game : 1340 : Camberley 0 - Maidenhead 3
5th Game : 1500 : Camberley 0 - Bracknell 1 (Try scored in the last second of the game)

All played as a team today and were a great asset to Camberley RFC. Each game was differently executed but there was great deal of communication. Good Scrummaging from the forwards, defence from the backs, great kicking where required and massive spades of passion and the hunger to win. Great to see the drills and set pieces coming to fruition on the pitch. Whilst we took a few knocks and sustained some injuries the players kept going.

The breaks towards the end between games took a bit of a toll on the team BUT the last game against Bracknell was full on. Fantastic defence by the whole team and to concede a try in the last second of the game was by no way a reflection of the game that was played.

Overall, great passion and play from the team today, something that all the coaches and parents were really proud of. Well done Team.

Sunday 14th February 2010 - Home Training

A dry and cold day for home training on the training pitch. Tim and Andy arriving early to set up. The start of half term but still a good turnout of 23 players (good time to impress the coaches ready for selection to the Redingsians festival next week). Plenty of space to train today. A game at the end to finish the session

Enjoy the remaining part of your Valentines Day!!

Sunday 7th February 2010 - Home training at Kings

Should have been at Wimbledon RFC today, but their pitches are still waterlogged. Thank you to Tom H for organising a fixture of home at short notice, training at Kings International College.

Another cold and wet day, but another good turnout. Tim setting up for the session.

Later on the U10’s packed up early, allowing for the use of a larger pitch for the match at the end of our training session. The extra space allowed for some very good passing and recycling play. The final score being 3-3.

Home to dry out and warm up. See you soon.

Sunday 31st January 2010 - Home Training and Coaches Presentation.

Good turn out today of 31 players on this very cold and frosty Sunday morning, the ground at Camberley was rock hard. Most had turned out in trainers for this light training session, not a good day for studs!

Tim set out the session early awaiting his band of merry coaches to discuss the training schedule ahead before the start of play at 10am. No contact rugby today.

The temperature stayed near freezing most of the morning with the sun coming out later, you could definitely feel the rise in temp. Out with the sunglasses from the glare of the white frosted ground!

The players didn’t have a moment to stand around with the running and passing exercises leading to two games of touch rugby to finish. Well done to you all.

Presentation of the Xmas Quiz prizes. Simon drew the first name out of the hat – Tim P, with the first prize of £15. Then Simon drew out the second name – Miles T. Did someone shout ‘Fix’? Well done to Tim, Miles and the other players who took part.

Now for the ‘main event’ the presentation to the coaches for all their efforts during the first part of this season. Thanks to all our parents for their contribution towards the ‘vintage’ bottles of port. Thomas was on hand to present the coaches with their bottles, Andy, Mark, John, Tim V and finally head coach Tim. Adrian’s bottle was collected on his behalf by his son. Thanks again.

Adrian thanks for taking the photos today - cheers.

Next week is away, depending on the weather! Who knows!!
