U17s: Harpenden

Well done to all those who were involved yesterday you proved how much we continue to progress as a squad. However it was clear to see from such sides as Basildon, that there is so much more work we need to do.

well done to Mel who had a blinder of a day especially in the first game against Basildon. A special mention also needs to go to Steph who also put in some brilliant tackles and carried the ball forward well. Also a mention for Robyn who continues to progress in skill and confidence.

And so to the formalities.

Tackle of the tournament : Steph.
Steph made several covering tackles that were crucial to our success on the day.

Player of the tournament: Nim
Nim has continued to step up to the mark and made several key contributions yesterday. She led the team well, made several vital tackles (covering tackle against basildon in the first minute) and also got her name on the scoresheet. Oh and came away with a wonky nose.

As John has said there is so much potential for next year and with such a huge squad im looking forward to it and I hope you are to. We need to take another step forward next year and this means commitment to training increasing.

Unfortunately because im touring in South Africa im unable to start regular preseason sessions. Instead Im looking to get together on the following selected dates.

Wed 26th July
Wed 2nd Aug
Wed 23rd Aug (depending on my return flight not being delayed)
Wed 30th Aug

These dates may not always be physical training sessions, instead some maybe team building session indoors and may not necessarily be at the club but we will cross the bridge when we come to it.

Can you please let me know whether you can make the above dates by return email.

If there is sufficient interest I am more than happy to start these session earlier maybe the beginning of July for example.

Thanks again girls for a brilliant season. Lets take what we achieved and move forward again next year because it could be my last.

Finally Letchworth RFC would like to wish Nim good luck in whatever she decides to do next season. You'll be sorely missed by both the squad and the coaching staff.

Have a great summer
Many Thanks
Joe
