Something to get you through the summer

Some clubs have already started training. However, in the best traditions of North Hertfordshire sport (its just a bit too keen, isn't it?) we are having none of that.

I mean, we have certain standards here. At Letchworth we firmly believe in honouring the traditions of the game - best exemplified by the U17s visit to Westcliff last season. Which many will remember. Okay I appreciate that some of you probably don't remember - even though you may have played in the game - but Mike has the film should you need to fill in the memory gap.

And Phil also still has the negatives should anyone think of stepping out of line with the new coaches...

Anyway we don't expect to see anyone of you for the better part of five weeks - but what will you do in that time? How will your rugby starved minds cope?

Well, there are the many websites mentioned herein in recent months - and Total Flanker certainly gets better and better - and to this list I would also like to draw you attention to The East Terrace.

This impressive - and really very funny - website has been going for some time, but had appeared to have died until recently, which is why I've not mentioned it before, However, it has suddenly woken up again with articles on the Worst Rugby Kit in History (though how anyone could hope to beat kits East Terrace have highlighted in the past, like Stade Francais and Calvissano I am not sure), gives illustrated guidance on how to celebrate a try (including memorable film of how not to score one) and more besides. Well worth a look.
