Talks, Touch, Sidesteps and Scrums.
Great games last week against Lenzie RFC – what a great team to play! Well matched game at every age group. some P6/P7’s first taste of the scrum too. The P4/P5 showed some great skills and style, and showed character in the face of a stern test against Lenzie. The Tigers are also showing great potential with the tackle shields and coaches flying everywhere!
Carl was giving a great teamtalk at the weekend, P4s are a bit light on numbers just now, which has its limitations but also has its benefits as it allows great coaches like Carl to bring on the players’ skills in all fields. Due to more 1to1 time and by understanding the needs of the player to facilitate a fun, positive and creative learning environment for them to thrive.
A great finale to the Tuesday night touch sessions with 26 players having fun in the park! Touch will continue on Thursdays at Alva Academy 7-8pm on the Astro – remember no metal studs.
Tuesday nights will remain Youth training from 6:30-8pm in Tilly Park until the end of November when we move to Alva Academy Astro too.
Hillkirk’s first match a resounding success!
The Youth side travelled to Fife on a rather dreich Sunday to take on a 12 man Glenrothes side. From the outset, three of our players volunteered to play for the opposition to make it 15 a-side, which we swapped for each of the three ‘halves’. Some great individual efforts in the first third saw us stretch into the lead by four tries. By the second third and having reinforced the opposition with some of our stronger players , we saw a greater contest with a further 2 tries being scored by Hillkirk and 3 tries by Glenrothes (including one from one of our players!). In the final third, we focussed on our set piece and second phase ball and played some fantastic rugby despite the slippery ball and sodden pitch. While we finished up with a total of 8 tries to 4, more importantly, everyone (and that’s both sides) came off the pitch in good spirits having enjoyed their morning. Thanks to Glenrothes for a really enjoyable morning and great stovies to warm us up!
