29th March 2009
Sunday and the touring side from Harrogate are here along with our friends from Duns for a Mini Tournament for the kids section aged 12 and under. We have kids in the mini section from the age of 5. They play non contact for the most part and the basic elements of rugby are taught in stages so that they have some clue about passing, tackling and running with the ball. The most important thing is for them to enjoy it and to have fun. When you are coaching them it is usually a lot of fun too when they chat away to you. For the most part we have very supportive parents as well who come along to support their kids. Without this section of the club we would have no future. Aero was their after a plea for help from the Mini section and he gave me the low down on the 1st team loss. Murrayfield seem to have benefited from the coaching they have been receiving from some of the Edinburgh Pro players. Aero reckoned they were the best drilled defensively that he has played against this year.

The 1st XV lost on the road at Dalkeith and the 2nds lost very narrowly against Gateshead. The 2nds have been the unsung heroes of this season for me. They don’t get the publicity that the other teams do, they play in 2 very competitive leagues and they have struggled because the number of players has dropped. The First team can always pull players out of the 2nds or Colts but the 2nds haven’t had a 3rd team to call upon this year. Humey and Grant have tried their best to get a team out every week even though at times they have been playing for the 1st team at the same time. Next season they are both stepping down and I’ve spoken to a few people who are willing to manage the team, coach it and also to captain it. So next year we should have a new Captain and Vice Captain, a Team Manager and also a couple of coaches and someone to run the line for them as well. We just need more players. Anyone that wants to come back to Berwick then just come along.

Past Blogs
“Rugby Life” - A blog by the VP
The aim of this blog is to give a day to day view of what goes on at Berwick Rugby Club. I don’t mean it to cover everything that goes on at the Club otherwise I’d spend all day writing it. It will hopefully inform the members and players about events in the pipeline and the things that are going on. The views and comments on this blog are my own personal views and should in no way be taken as representing the Executive of the club.
