Pick yourselves up from the performance on Saturday. The big thing we need to achieve is the spark; to be sharper to react, more aggressive in contact(in a controlled way) and quicker to the breakdown so releasing the ball quicker to the backs.
Totnes away - all those who couldn't make it on Saturday try to clear your diaries for the first league game of the season lets start the league as we mean to go on.
On an aside, I didn't manage to speak to many as quite a few had to shoot off after the game. The U8/U9/U10 junior sides are in desperate need of coaches. They coach on a Sunday 9-10am and play 12 a-side (I think). U8/U9 play tag but are coached a little bit of contact, the U10s play contact but unopposed scrums. Even if there are people willing to take a session every now and then, something is better than nothing. I would be very grateful if we are able to grab this opportunity to pass our accrued knowledge of the game onto the youngsters coming up. Anyone willing to put themselves out every now and then to help please contact me or any of the junior coaches. Even once will help - you never know you might even enjoy it!
