All,

Congratulations on the 1sts and the 2nds winning their games last weekend (and especially to the 2nds for getting through to the next round of the cup). We have a full programme of 3 games this weekend (1sts and 2nds are away on Saturday, and the 3rds are at home to London Lithuanians (2pm KO). For those of you who aren't playing this weekend, make sure you get down and show your support.

 

The club will be open this week during the following times this week;

Wednesday - "Training & Curry Night" - DM GH open from 7.30PM

Make sure you come down to the club on the Wednesday. For those of you who play, please keep up the effort and the great numbers we have seen on recent training sessions. We are on an upward curve as a club and we don't want to loose momentum. Curry will be ordered/served for those who want it as well.

 

Wednesday - MENS TOUR MEETING 9.15pm

The 'WiggyTours' rep will be holding a brief 2014 mens tour meeting after training, so if you are interested in loosing a few days of your lives (along with brain cells) but gaining lots of stories you cant repeat....then come along for the 'welcome meeting' in the clubhouse.

Training & Matches this week

Guys,

Firstly a well done to the 1st team against Stanford Le Hope and an even bigger well done to the Llamas for their cup win against Writtle.

That said, it was not the best feeling to have to cancel the 3rd team fixture due to a lack of numbers so please, let's remedy that this weekend with 3 league fixtures to be played.

The 1st team travel to Pegasus, the 2nd team travel to Upminster, whilst the 3rd team have a big fixture against London Lithuanians at home.  Let's have three strong squads for the challenge ahead and let selection and the team managers know ASAP that you are available.

Training this week is Wednesday only, I ask for one night a week so please don't let your teammates down by not attending.

We're winning because we're training...

See you Wednesday

David

Six Nations

All,

You will have now received an e-mail if you were successful in your application for Six Nations tickets – unfortunately every game was oversubscribed so a number of applications could not be filled but we have applied to the RFU for more tickets.

If you have been successful please ensure you pay promptly and that your membership is fully up to date, as otherwise we will have to re-allocate the tickets to those on the waiting list.

Any questions, please let me know.

Sunday - 2003 RWC Celebration QUIZ NIGHT

DM & Quiz Master TBC open from 3PM, quiz from 5.30PM

This is a new monthly slot which Jo our social secretary has set-up. So come down and pit your wits against your fellow members.

The first quiz we are doing is a charity one to raise funds for the RFU Injured Players Foundation. It is also themed to tie into the 10th anniversary of England winning the world cup - so plenty of rugby related questions to go at.

The RFU Injured Players Foundation is the official charity of England Rugby. With your backing, they look after seriously injured players for life and help prevent future injuries through research and education (and they have provided us with medical kits in the past for free).

Places are only £5 per person (with a max of 8 people per team*)

*Mr Beech can only play in a maximum team size of 1 - otherwise it's not fair ;-) 

Games this weekend - 23rd November

Evening All,

After a quiet November so far everything ratchets up this weekend with games across all the Mens playing sides. The games are:

1st XV vs Stanford Le Hope @ Home

2nd XV vs Writtle II's @ Home (re-arranged JAT cup game)

3rd XV @ Dagenham II's

We really need to get three strong teams out this week for to lay a marker down of three wins for the rest of 2013 and beyond. Email selection@millwallrugby.com with your availability. 

Also, many thanks to those who headed down to training tonight but we really need to step it up on Wednesday prior to the games at the weekend. Be at the club at 6.45pm for a 7pm start, we need to get the most out of the session that we can. 

See everyone at training on Wednesday.
