KRFC NEWS 29th MARCH

KRFC NEWS, THURS 29^th MARCH

 

New news – Good news re training pitch, call to arms to support the ones and colts this weekend, important M&J dates and a flat to rent in Kenilworth

 

• We start with very good news. We have been awarded a substantial grant from Sport England to improve our Training Pitch. More details to follow.

• Last week the ones put up a very good display against Burton before going down 24-32. We gained a valuable bonus point and nearly got two. There was a predictable big bonus point win for Whitchurch over Dunlop and Ludlow got a losing try bonus point at Camp Hill.

• W are now down to the last three games and we simply need to defeat Dunlop on Saturday and Whitchurch away after Easter to have any hope of survival. From the games to be played I guess Ludlow could be safe so it is between ourselves and Whitchurch for the third relegation spot. It would be nice not to leave it all to our last game, away at Old Halesonians. At the top Sutton Coldfield have a five point advantage over Bournville and it will be a real surprise if both these teams are not playing in National League 3, Midlands, next season. They meet on Sat in a championship decider. Perhaps it would be best if Bournville won to give them something to play for to the end of the season and their last game against Whitchurch. The situation at the bottom and the remaining games are:

• The threes lost a close game to Shipston 2’s 23-26. This week they are off on tour to Bognor Regis and we wish them well.

• The colts had a superb 12-5 win over Nuneaton to put them in very good spirits for their cup semi final with Old Coventrians on Sunday.

• This weekend the ones are at home to Dunlop in a must win, with bonus point, game. Please come along and support the lads.

• The two’s are down to play at home to Earsldon.

• The colts play Old Coventrians in the cup semi final at home on Sunday 1^st April, 2.15. The other semi is between Newbold and Nuneaton. Should we beat Old Coventrians then the final is to be played on Monday 16^th April at The Butts, 7.30 kick off.

• PAG Jones has arranged another Barbarians game and this is against Leamington on Easter Saturday, 7^th April at 1pm. The game is at Leamington.

• The WARWICKSHIRE COLTS SEVENS are to be held at Newbold on Sunday 29^th April.

• The Autumn Internationals (2.30 kick offs) are

• 17^th Nov, v Australia
• 24^th Nov, v South Africa
• 1^st Dec, v New Zealand

 

but there are no details on prices or dates yet so watch this space.

 

• The CLUB DINNER is to be held at the club on Friday 11^th May with food being provided by The Almanack. This Dinner is open to all members and is a very good night.
