Message from Pete Dendy - Club Captain
Hi, I am delighted to say that we have had an excellent start to the season with the 1xv having good wins against London Welsh, Harlequins Amateurs and Old Actonians, There are some tough matches to come but it looks like the 1xv is coming together and playing some great running rugby.
Our links with the school have really paid off and recent leavers Joe Grindle, Tom Keenan and Morgan Brown have made great contributions alongside expeperienced players like Sam Wilson, Duncan Peel, Adam Gilbe and Andy Jones. It's great to see Kempy and Glam playing again after injuries which kept them out for most of last season and more.
We have worked really hard to get 2 sides out but it would help it we fewer people decided to get married during the season. Please remember it's much cheaper during the week or just live together!
Joking aside we must run 2 sides- promotion back to London NW 3 would not work running 1 team only. We have a very simple "game plan" for a successful season and you all have a role in this. Please train, play, support socials, pay you match fees and subs and help with recruitment- we need more players as well as the ones we do have playing more regularly.
I must thank the 2's players typified by Chris Jones who have just got on with it when we have been short and people have had to play of position. We will get there!
We have a great new committee this year with a wide range of age and experience and I have been impressed with their enthusiasm and hard work.
We have 2 good young captains in Guy and Kevin and an excellent coaching team of Alex Leggett and the legendary Nick Cook.
The club needs your support and contribution on and off the pitch.
Peter Dendy
