players per side playing at once ,with rolling subs as required. Age
limit U13 and above.
Please could you confirm if your Ladies team will be able to attend as
places will be limited. Once Your team has been booked in I will forward
more details. We will be playing F.I.T (Federation International Touch)
Rules. A summarised version can be found on the Ladies section of our
club website.
Training is now at 6.45 on Tuesdays & Thursdays at Saltcoats Park
Hi Ladies , we have an away match with Bury St Edmunds. The date
for it is Sunday 6th September with a 1.00pm start.
We should aim to be there for 12.30. I estimate it will take
about an hour and a half to get there , so we need to leave
South Woodham at 11.00 am at the latest. Car sharing would be a
good idea. The match will be Tag Rugby and possibly some Touch
if we can persuade the opposition.
Please can you let me Know your availability one way or the
other EVERYONE ! As matches could be few and far between this
season. Lets make the most of these opportunities when we can
even if it is a bit of a distance to travel.
Thanks John
