MESSAGE FROM THE COACH:
Clich HERE to view U5s COACHING MANUAL

The last training session of the season went very well and although we did not have a full turn out we had almost 40 keen players. It is interesting to compare this session with the first one in September and to see how far the squad has come. From spending time on basic catching and throwing to playing something close to a game of Rugby is quite a transformation. All of the players should be proud of themselves, and whilst there is still a long way to go before the players all turn out for their full national sides, there is clear signs that the squad can develop into a strong force in Hong Kong mini Rugby.

All the players got a well deserved medal but well done to the players who won individual awards:-

Most Improved Runner up - Jamie Hill
Most Improved - Hamish Carragh

Best and Fairest Runner up - Charlie Davidson
Best and Fairest - Samuel Hewitt

There were many others who came close and have a good chance of winning next year if they push themselves and try hard.

I have some squad photos which I will post on the web site soon and I do intend to build a scrap book for the season with photos and reports so that you can all have a piece of memorabilia from the first season of Rugby.
(This will be worth thousands at auction when they are all internationals!). I do need you to send me as many photos as you can so I can include as well as my limited set. I hope to have this available for download in a week or two. (I will try to email all of you when it is there)

Next season will start mid September and you will be able to register from August onwards, I believe that I will graduate with most of the players to the U7Js (Under 6s) next season, but this is to be confirmed.

Next Sunday is the 7s competition and the U5s are invited to participate in the parade. The instructions are available on the web site and should jump out at you when you navigate here. I will not be able to make this due to work commitments but Nick and Matt will be there. (Guys I think the parade would benefit from a chorus of "We are the Warriors..." as we go round! I look forward to seeing this in TV. Therefore I will take this opportunity to thank all of the coaches and parents for their invaluable help during the season, and especially to the children who have been fantastic. It's been great fun and I hope the children enjoyed it as much as I know the all coaches did. I'll see you next season if not before!

P.S. Also a big thank you to Elisabetta in Italy (why?) for maintaining the web site for us, your help has been outstanding.
