Yes, we are back!

Training has now begun again, for those who were asking. Unfortunately I have been in remotest Devon with limited PC access but most of you should have worked out that the first session or the year was yesterday.

This Sunday we have training at Letchworth - note new weekend training times above - and then one more session on Thursday before the first fixture of the new year, against Saracens. This will include both U18s and U15s - we can be confident about Saracens bringing a good party of the latter, and when I last heard discussions about our link-up with Ampthill were going well so that we can field a combined side.

We should also be virtually injury free now - Laura, Jess and Sasha seemed to have survived their game with the Candians unscathed, and hopefully Megan, Mel, Emily and Carla are fully fit again, and everyone has avoided bizzare chocolate-related (or similar) accidents over Christmas this year - so we can put the first half of the season behind us and look forward to second half with some confidence, indeed excitement - the tour, tens competitions, then the sevens - there is plenty to come between now and May.
