It has been another successful year for the section in all sorts of ways, we have even more members again this year, many successes on the field and some new Companies helping us with Sponsorship opportunities, a special thanks of course going to CIS for the kit deal for all age groups. There have been a number of festival and tournament victories in the mini's during the season, and finalist and semi finalist places in the NLD competitions for the juniors, well done to everyone concerned once again. We should not forget the Gullivers Tournament of course, five squads attending this year, from under 9's to under 13's, all doing very well in the competition and gaining even more experience from this event. We have two of those squads through the finals day at Twickenham on the 30th May, under 9's and under 10's will represent the club in the prestigious event as the curtain raiser to the England v Barbarians match in the afternoon, very well done to all concerned.

The day included the now annual match of Vets v Coaches, a tremendous game taking place and provided an entertaining afternoon of "rugby", the Vet's achieved victory this year, but the coaches will be back in force again I'm sure!!

A special new award was included in the presentations this year, the new Clubman of the Year cup, named after it's first recipient, "The Milligan Cup", was awarded to Roger Milligan for his tireless support within the club over so many years, well done Roger. Photos of Roger receiving his trophy are to the left of this page.

So, we look forward to a summer break before training begins again, enjoy the rest everyone because September is only just around the corner!
