Training!
Touch rugby has now started on every Thursday evening at 7pm at the club: over 30 players attended the first session! Pre-season training will commence on Thursday July 19th under the supervision of new coach Dave Sayer. The first league match of the new season is on Saturday September 8th at home against Lakenham & Hewitt, but there will be ‘friendly’ fixtures before this and the dates and venues of these will be advised nearer the time. We are also talking to specialist coaches who we hope to engage as ‘guests’ at various training evenings during the season.
Playing Committee to revitalise match days
A playing committee has been formed consisting of Dave Sayer, in his role as coach, Rob Briggs, who has taken on the position of Director of Rugby, Ian Parsons & Ian McLees. This group, with the addition of the captains, who will be in place by August 1st, will oversee all playing matters for the club.
A selection policy has already been drafted and will be communicated to all members in the near future. It is intended that this process will be more transparent and inclusive.
It is hoped that by the end of season 2007/08 Newmarket Rugby Club will be regularly fielding three senior teams.
