Waun at home

This weekend we have a match at bishopston vs Waunarlwydd. Meet 10:15.

Training this Friday at 5:00 at Underhill.

Best wishes to Ben who has picked up yet another injury in his comeback game last weekend. Horrible luck. On better Fox news, a fantastic achievement for brother Bonny who has been picked in the Wales u20 squad for the 6n match against France this weekend. Best of luck from all the Mumbles u13s.

Half term weekend

No training on Friday this week.

On Sunday we have an away trip to Cwmavon. Meet at 11:15. Directions to the playing fields will be put up here ASAP.

Briton Ferry Match

After Friday wash out we are lucky to pick up a last minute game with Ferry Steelers the visitors to Underhill Park. We have an early kick off, so please meet at 9:15 for a decent warm up.

Pontarddulais match OFF

Frozen pitches up in Bont. Just heard. Pass the word if you can.

This Weekend

Training on Friday is moved to an early start of 4:30 at Underhill. This is to catch the light and get a decent session in on the junior pitch, away from the bog that has formed by the changing rooms. We will also be done in good time for the start of the 6 Nations.

We will keep this going a couple of weeks, until we can get back to our usual 5:30 time, which is know is easier for many to make, including coaches.

The match on Sunday is away at Pontarddulais. Meet 10:15 for a good warm up. In the past we have always played at the comp in Bont, but this match will be at the proper club ground, at Coed Bach playing fields, SA4 8LG. This is just off Pentre Road (if you come via Penllegaer then take Bolgoed Road straight into Pontarddulais then turn left into Pentre Road at the traffic lights at the King Hotel). Note that the playing fields are not right next to the clubhouse/bar (which is near the school).

Dunvant

Firstly i want to congratulate the boys on a well deserved victory against a strong dunvant outfit especially after a difficult start to the year in which the boys did themselves immensely proud despite not picking up the victories.

  

It was really pleasing to see the boys stand up to physically much bigger dunvant side and how they showed a lot of maturity to close the game out. As you are aware players at this age grow at different times and different speeds so playing against bigger and more physical sides will become more frequent. To combat this our skill level, fitness and tackling technique which we have been working on alot in training will become more and more important. These have all become greatly improved over the last few weeks which i believe made the difference on Sunday so keep up the good work troops.

Secondly, injuries. Touching on what i said previously with regards to games becoming more physical so will the bumps and bruises the boys will pick up. As a team its hugely important that we support guys who do pick up injuries and help them get back playing in any way we can. As someone who has had a lengthy lay off with injuries i know how much it means to have the support of my team mates, coaches and parents to help you get through what can be a difficult and frustrating time. Adding to that it was great to see Lloydy back out there on Sunday i know how tough it has been for him and he looked like he had never been away and im sure all his shoulder problems are behind him so keep up the good work. Mention also to Nathan (appendix) Duncan (Shoulder) and Ethan (Knee & Cheek) who we all wish speedy recovery's from their various injuries and we will hopefully see on the pitch sooner rather than later. We have a great team spirit so as a team lets all get behind them.
