Sunday 21st March 2010 - Home training

The start of spring – A lovely morning at Camberley RFC.

A good turn out on this Sunny day. Tim was at the pitch early, who has the cones! Maybe they will arrive before 9.59am!!

Tim started with a warm up and running drills, the day was going to be full on with plenty of game play. Plenty of opportunities to stop the play to explain stuff to the players.

The players were divided into two teams on a full size u11’s pitch. Loads of good rugby with end to end play. Late into the match William took hold of the ball moving to his right being tracked by the opposing team, he darted back with a forward run towards the left wing, no tackles yet. William was no near to the try line when he cut back inside with two hefty tackles (ouch), but momentum took him over, the ball just about to touch the grass (mud!) as it slipped out of his hands and painfully fell away. A gasp from all. ‘He’s dropped it’. Brilliant solo effort nevertheless. Tim and Coaches very pleased with the days play.

Followed by a rendition of Happy Birthday lead by Ben, followed up by Andy's ‘How Old?’ Fortyyyyyyyyyyy were the resounding shouts. Adrian looked V embarrassed. Best you get your cash out for later.

Good mornings play - see you in the bar.

Sunday 14th March 2010 - Home training

A beautiful sunny morning at Camberley for home training, a good number of 24 turning out on this Mothers Day. We should have been away at Chobham but unfortunately they could not host this fixture (great to be back training after all the poor weather recently).

Thanks to Andy, Mark, Tom and John for running the session, with a warm up and then training drills, concentrating on kicking. Certainly a sight with all our players kicking balls into the air at the same time – Who has the camera?

Good amount of time on games at the end. Both teams playing well. Matthew W rushing through a defensive line to score a try, no tackles there then! A brilliant moment during the match with a good kick up field into the in goal area, picked up with a hefty boot back to where it had just come from. This high ball drifting to the right, a couple of decent and kind bounces into the hands of Matthew J running forwards and towards the right wing. Good sprint along the wing passing half way, running at speed. The other team in pursuit. Matthew passing the ball to his left with a momentous swing into the hands of Myles S moving forwards through the gap in defence and over for a try. How easy was that! Maybe this style of play could rub of on England – they certainly need it!

Well done to all. Warm down by Andy and off to spoils the mums. Who’s buying lunch?
