BLUF:

Early email this week – can parents please confirm to your age group coach whether you will be available for the next two weeks over the half term?

Sadly, Madras have pulled out of their visit to us, so numbers dependent, training will be on. Please note we are likely to merge age groups to have sufficient numbers.
Note next week the P3-P7s are away to Howe of Fife for a mini tournmament.

Youth, Juniors and Tigers Back at Hillfoots

Every age group will be at normal training from 1000-1130

Madras apologise for not having the numbers available to properly visit us and hope to re-schedule later this season. From their P7 coach:

“We would really appreciate if you could let them know that it would have been great to have gone along, as our last match with them was just super! It was really played in the spirit in which rugby should be played – a nice bunch of kids!”

Fingers crossed that the weather will keep the ground from freezing. Unless there is a very hard frost combined with freezing temperatures, training will be on! We can avoid any contact and tackling, but there are plenty of skills that we can focus on! If there is no message on the club’s facebook page by 0930, training is definitely on!

Great win for Hillfoots RFC U14 v Kirkcaldy U14, 50-5

Well done to the U14s who last week beat a very spirited Kirkcaldy side 50-5. Despite the quagmire and a slight drizzle that made the ball a bar of soap, both sides tried to play an open and fluid game. Hillfoots came out on top, by maintaining a great attacking shape and demonstrating true grit and determination in defence. It was great to see the boys from both Academies play so well together – hopefully, we will be able to exploit their success next season when we aim to play both a U15 and a U14 side.
