Alton Rugby Football Club

The week ahead w/c 12 March

Training on Thursday evening is CANCELLED due to the Alton Music Night which many of you will be attending.

A very solid performance at Andover on Sunday. It has been sometime since we last had to phone around on a Sunday morning to chase up a team, but some late drop outs saw us struggling.

No such struggle on the pitch as Andover were dispatched for 50 points and 8 tries. We were also fortunate not to incur any injuries though one Andover player went off in an ambulance after landing on his head after a fierce but fair tackle on the hard ground. How different conditions were compared to last week!! We have since heard from Andover that the player is fine.

With 8 tries on Sunday the U16s have reached the milestone of 100 tries and passed the 600 point mark for the season - amazing totals considering it's only mid-March. Oscar and Will are now joint top try scorers each with 14.

RFU Grand Draw
