Games this weekend - 5th October 2013

Evening Millwall, 

Another 100% weekend this weekend with the thirds rolling over Old Brents 61-7 at home in the only game, and I hear that tonights backs session was useful so good work all around.

We have a full calendar of games this weekend with all three teams in action, and with a strong past couple of weeks, let's keep this momentum going throughout the season.

1sts vs May and Baker @ home 

2nds vs Wanstead II's @ home 

3rds @ Ilford (now away) 

Email me at selection@millwallrugby.com with a yes or a no to let me know your availability.  

It should be a good night in the club afterwards so let's make sure to get as many players out as possible, I want three full squads taking to the field and a dominant weekend. 

Also, the ever popular Thirst Thursdays are back this week to whet your appetite for the weekend and allow you a Friday night in to be raring to play or support come Saturday. This month we'll be in the Ledger building in the Wharf. A table is booked in the name of Johanna from 6pm so get yourself down there.  

See everyone at training on Wednesday.

Games this Weekend - 28th September

Evening Millwallians,

Fantastic results this weekend with the firsts beating Brightlingsea 21-7 with 14 men to go top of the league and the Llamas winning 35-15 at home. Unfortunately we weren't able to fulfil the third team game as there weren't enough bodies.

With that in mind let's get a full contingent of games fulfilled this week, there's only two matches so there's no excuses:

1st XV - bye week since Phantoms have pulled out of the league

2nd XV @ Canvey 2nds

3rd XV @ home vs Old Brents 3s

Let us know if you're available by replying to selection@millwallrugby.com with a yes or no and let's get two strong teams out this weekend.

Thanks to everyone who came down for the forwards session tonight, we made some good progress on lineouts and continuity play. Backs session next Monday at 7 on the park. 

See you at training on Wednesday.

Clubhouse Sub-Committee Meeting Tuesday 24/09/13

All,

Forwards Training - This Monday (23rd September)

Guys,

Firstly, massive congratulations on two wins this weekend, huge character and pride shown in the face of adversity.  For 14 players to win away in the league is remarkable and shows what should be achieved for the rest of this season.  But such achievement will only be reached through hard work and training.

We have barely scratched the surface of our potential and therefore this Monday will be a training session purely for the forwards.

Date: 23rd September
Time: 7.15pm sharp
Venue: Millwall Park

This session is hugely important for the season ahead as we will work on our pods and more importantly, our lineouts and variations.

If you can't make it, please let me know asap by email: headcoach@millwallrugby.com or text: 07789 942430.

See you all tomorrow

David

Cost: £32.50\£65

We're running the above course for Physios\First Aid volunteers and Club Members so we have people at the games and in the club house in the event of accidents. Its an excellent course, designed specifically for Rugby and also counts towards First Aid at Work if you need one of those.

If you'd like to do the course but prefer not to commit, you can pay the public price of £65.

Booking
We've reserved 6 places for the physios so the remaining 6 will be available to club members. Managers\Players and frequent attenders of the clubhouse will be given first preference.
