On Saturday 15th and Saturday 22nd August we will be holding club trial matches. They are open to all senior players, and initial selection for all teams - from 4ths to 1sts - will be based upon individual performances on these days.

Everyone is welcome - from 1st team to 4th team, from Colts to Vets with games starting at 3pm.

It's a good opportunity to meet our new club coach Feao Vunipola (a.k.a. Vinnie), and a great way for him to see what strength in depth we have. For anyone with ambition to play in the 1st or 2nd teams this season it is obviously a great way to introduce yourself to Vinnie as he will have no pre-conceptions regarding individual players or positions.

Also on the 22nd we will be having a club BBQ to officially start the season and "open" the refurbished clubhouse. All wives, girlfriends and kids are very welcome!

The season starts for real on the 29th with the 1st team at Ruislip and the 2nd team at Beaconsfield (both friendlies), then the full league fixture programme begins on September 5th.

See you on the 15th.
