County U12s - after the first ever session

Excellent turnout yesterday by the new U12s section - but still time for more to join in. We had 14 girls, half of whom had only previously played tag, but by the end of the session everyone was playing full contact - and enjoying it too.

The next session will be on 30th September, probably at Welwyn again - 2pm start. We know this clashes with a tournament in North Herts, but this only affects a minority of the girls - and moreover the more experienced players - and it is really the newer girls we need to work with if we are to be ready for the Rochford Festival on 14th October (only two weeks later!).

The main things we want to look at next time will be areas not covered this week - mainly forward set-pieces like scrums and line-out, but also mauls - mainly so that everyone has an idea about what the rules are!

In the meanwhile well done everyone - and if you have any friends who also might like to play, bring them along too!
