Training off Pontardawe Match ON

With the overnight rain on top of yesterday the park is a real mess today and we will not have training (Ben also off on a stag!)

Match on Sunday vs Pontardawe. Meet at the Pontardawe Leisure Centre playing fields (not the clubhouse grounds) at 10:15. When you turn off the A4067 at the roundabout left into Pontardawe (just after the Tescos), the Leisure Centre is signposted on the left. SA8 4EG.

Another Tour Match

Some more good tourists news. I had a call from Wexford in Ireland yesterday, and Gorey RFC u13s will be visiting Mumbles on 10th April. This will be a Friday match (more fun than training). Kick off expected to be about 5:00, but will finalise near the time.

Please can everyone respond to the SATURDAY tour match teamer as well. We need to know we have enough players not involved with football that day.

Injuries
It has been a difficult season with injuries and we could not believe Lloyd's luck picking up a bad knock to the finger last Sunday. Hopefully this one will heal much quicker than the last. Jacob also was in the wars and could not complete the game. The latest news is Ethan, who has struggled with a knee problem for most of the season. We know Ethan will play through anything, but the sensible decision now is a proper rest and he will take the last couple of months of the season off so he can have a good break before being back in fine health for the start of u14s. Injuries are always frustrating, but the best thing is not to rush it. While on the subject, apologies for lack of action from the coaches in training for the next couple of weeks, as both Ben and Mike are suffering with their shoulders. Ian, as usual, is in perfect health.

Tour Match

We have an extra game booked in on Saturday 28th March. We will be hosting an English touring side and playing at Underhill as a curtain raiser before the firsts play Cwnllynfell with a kick off of 11:00. Unfortunately this is not very flexible and obviously being a Saturday morning there is a football clash, which will put our numbers down, but we should still be close to a full side and it is a good opportunity of some extra rugby for our big squad. Tour matches always fun as well. The teamer is going round now, please everyone respond yes or no so we are sure we can go ahead. 

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.
