Träningsdag Senior

Lördagen den 20 mars hade seniorlaget en mycket lyckad träningsdag som inleddes med English breakfast.

Saturday 20^th March Helsingborg Rugby Club – Gripen arranged a breakfast and training session with Ljungby RFC. This season Ljungby players will be supporting Gripen in the South of Sweden series. The day started with a FULL ENGLISH breakfast provided by Mark Coopers Cafe which went down really well. A big thank you to Mark, Sean, Leonardo, Göran, Erik & Vincent for cooking the food!

Whilst eating breakfast players were able to watch SKY TV a recent acquisition by the club to show LIVE rugby matches to add to the social side of the club. Following the breakfast there was a Players Meeting where 33 seniors attended which was a very good start to the season. Information was given out about the structure & organisation behind the men’s seniors team and juniors U19 and discussions were held on the plans for the 2010 season.

After the meeting a training session was held at Sundsgården where for the first time this year the players and coaches were able to practice on grass. Big thank you to Tim for fixing the pitch. The session was tough, combining full contact, ball handling skills and learning the basic’s again as everyone was a little bit rusty. Later the players split up with Sean & Emil taking the forwards with help from Jim and Mark & Mann taking the backs. The training finished with a full contact match which everyone enjoyed.

Even though the weather was poor a lot was achieved and another session is planned for Sunday 11^th April at Norrvalla IP.

Once again big thank you to all the players, coaches etc. who made this day possible. The future looks bright for Gripen Rugby!

Respect, Gareth
