The Scrummary - September 2015 | Page 18

The Sparrows and Robins, our youngest groups will continue to have FUN and learn about the basics of the game.

The Hawks will continue with their internal Super IV's League . The children are split into four teams which mirror the Senior Super IV's League, The Buccaneers, Sharks, Scorpions and Stormers. Will the Mini Scorpions win the league cup for a third season?

U12s will be holding a local league comprising of the Super IVs teams.

Matches will take place once a month with flashy new tops to boot!

They will also participate in concentraciones (day tournaments) in

Anadalucia against sides such as Marbella, Malaga, Estrecho, Granada,

Seville.

Additionally, we will host some touring sides from the UK and hopefull stage

our own tour to the UK in Easter; this will be a first for the U12s and we

really look forward to taking this group of talented individuals across to

the UK with the support and backing of their parents.

As always, the coaches ask that players bring a friend down to join them and

perhaps play for the same team!

We look forward to another year of exciting rugby.'

U14s intend to participate in the Andalucian League and will have a minimum of 8 fixtures over the season against teams from Marbella, Cadiz and Malaga amongst others. We also look forward to additional friendlies and hope once again to be hosting visiting clubs and schools to the Rock.

Training will be haled twice a week on Sundays and Tuesday's and we are about to issue the welcome pack and joining forms so that we can register players for next season.

We very much hope that providing the opportunity to represent Gibraltar and the guarantee of competitive rugby will complement the work of our development officer in the schools in order to attract players to the sport. Rugby is a sport that will equip an individual with team work, discipline, honesty and fair play. It's a sport that also opens many opportunities later in your child's life as they become young adults whether looking for employment or starting a university degree. Being a member and contributor to a rugby club will always open doors.
