Return to matters domestic - Awards evening etc.
After a thrilling climax to the I E Weldon's tour today at Hertford (7-5, Corrie scoring the equalising try with final play, and then the winning kick going over - anyone remember who kicked it? Nerves of steel) its back to matters domestic.
But before doing so a big thanks to everyone who made it today - I know Weldon really appreciated the support, both today and at Welwyn. The whole team have signed the flag with messages of thanks etc. which will go up in the clubhouse on Wednesday. I also have some copies of their tour guide to give out.
Incidentally there have been many comments in praise of you all from the English teams since Wednesday - things like "I have to say that for one of the stronger sides in the region your girls are good sports and a pleasure for the visiting team". Well done everyone!
Anyway.... Tour meeting Wednesday - as covered elsewhere (have you seen the countdown clock to the right? Joe's idea). On Wednesday could we also have trophies back from Hayley, Natalie, and Jess as well. You also need to start thinking about your "Player's Player" award winner - we will be asking for nominations soon. This should go to the person you think it key to the team, ie. not necessarily the "best player". It is also worth remembering that the U17 Player of the Year is being decided on a points system this year, based on turnout at training, match appearences, and so on - so there could be some unexpected winners this season!
These awards - plus the "Most Improved" award - will be given out at a special junior awards dinner (including boys teams down to U13) on Friday 27th April at the club - so make sure you are available!! Tickets will not be expensive - about £6 probably - so there is no excuse to miss out.
