Sundays festival saw us entering the local festival at Mitcham. The day started with clear skies and a sharp wind which stayed with us all day. With the tent swiftly arranged for shelter, the squad was soon settled into base camp and ready for action. Sam C, Milton, Billy, Luke, Alex, Louis R, Sachin, Ralph, Cameron, William S and Sam V were soon warming up together and searching for the source of the fried bacon aroma. With Richard, Adam, parents and myself running some training drills, no time was wasted.

U7s Group final numbers:

I still need a response from a few people confirming attendance at the Christmas Lunch on 6th December. Please let me know as soon as possible as FINAL NUMBERS MUST BE RETURNED to the club by MONDAY 23rd NOVEMBER.

Hi U7s,

Just a quick note to say thanks for a great turn out on Sunday, we had 27 player out of 32 registered so were able to get on with some really constructive training drills and split up into 4 teams to play several games in the last hour. This week Luca deservingly walked away with the Player of the Week cup for his great focus and teamwork during the drills and matches. We've also gained a few more willing coaches in the last few weeks and it was great to see them so actively supporting Mark.

Hi everyone,

We managed a training session on Sunday morning with 12 players and finally the winter weather arrived! It was very wet but that never stops us!

Mark ran the training drills and I'm sure some of them acted like a rain dance so we did end up finishing a bit early with Ben Corbett deservedly walking away with the "Player of the Week" cup; it was probably full of rainwater by the time he got to the car park!

We'll be training once again at home on Sunday 8th November so I look forward to seeing you then - come rain or shine!

CHOBHAM ‘A’ RUGBY MINI FESTIVAL – 18TH October 2009.

An early start on a cold Autumn Morning gave us a reminder of the weather ahead this winter. However, this was soon forgotten and by 11am the sun was shining on us and we were blessed with another fine and warm ‘festival day’. With conditions set fair we were in line to be spoilt with some thrilling rugby contests combined with an improving standard of play.

Hi,

Thanks to everyone who made the Kings/Guilfordians festival a great success for our teams. I will post an article on our home page later this week and include some photos, but for now . . . . .

On Sunday 11th (home B) and Sunday 18th (Chobam A) we have festivals to attend therefore can you please confirm your child's availability for these so that I can select a squad for each.

Hello,

I’ve got a bit behind on the posts updates but at last . . . On the 27th we trained away for the first time at Effingham. They also hosted for Dorking so we managed to get some varied training and four friendly matches into the session.

We had 20 players turn out which was a really great result for an away training session this far away, so thanks very much for your support.

Harvey Knight walked away with the “player of the week” cup, as he showed some great skills with tagging and try scoring.

And yet again the sun kept on shining! See links below for a few photos.

Dear All,

We also welcomed 22 players from Kings minis who joined us for training. Finally, the session finished off with a couple of friendly matches which saw some healthy competition between both teams. A great effort by all our U7s in their first match with another club – well done everyone.

Congratulations this week to Milton Dunleavy who was awarded player of the week who showed great focus and try scoring skills.

Please remember to sign attendance register for your child each Sunday. I won’t be around this weekend but one of the coaches will be covering for me.

Hi everyone,
