Big match for the U15 Girls who look likely to win Surrey Cup if they win on Sunday, and they have had 3-4 players picked for the Surrey squad too. Wonderful effort from the girls so some extra support would be great.

Please note the pitch marked for cricket prep and avoid this area. Plenty of space so should not be an issue.

If you're visiting, please be good enough to follow our parking policy Netball marshalling the parking this week.

Quiz night has been postponed - email social@wmrfc.co.uk if you have paid and need a refund.

Most of the minis are away at Guildfordians - U6 and Inclusive at home. Car parking is the U12s (not U6s as marked).

John Woods writes to share news that eight of our girls are now in the County squads at either under 15s or under 18s (see roll of honour below). That's a great achievement in a very competitive county and a tribute to our girls and their coaches. You can see the u15s in action at home this Sunday against Chobham alongside a number of other youth games.

U15s: Georgie Barker, Esme Ford, Rebecca Jenkinson, Annabel Meta and Elizabeth Marriott
U18s: Fleur Feehan, Abigail Hooper and Yasmin Howe

Also, Fleur and Abi have been selected into the England centre of excellence at Richmond RFC which is part of the England player pathway. Brilliant news. The Wimbledon Rugby girls squads are absolutely brilliant right now! If you want to join get in touch with Luciana: girls@wmrfc.co.uk or 07739 369530

Just about all the minis are away this Sunday - U6 and Inclusive at home, the rest at Esher except the U10s who are on tour - hope you have a brilliant trip.

So lots of youth games at home as the Cup tournaments swing back into action. Welcome to all our visitors. Please be good enough to follow our parking policy:

Under 8s are on parking this week. Please remember to avoid parking on Drax, Preston and Hood (particularly).

There's a quiz night coming up on 15th March, 7.30 for 8pm prompt start. Organised by the social team from the minis, it's always a cracking night. Zoe and Frances have set aside tables for U6 to U11, Inclusive, Girls and Netball. Let's try and get at least one table for eight from each age group. Older groups and senior club members more than welcome.

Friday 15th March, 7:30 for 8pm start.
£10 per person, max. 8 people per team/table.
Price includes cheese / biscuits / antipasti on the tables.

Tables are to be paid for in full at the clubhouse. Perhaps age group managers could co-ordinate. Important: please ensure you complete the booking form too, so we know you've paid/how many tables are booked).

No 1st XV at home this weekend (a good win last week keeps them in contention in the top three of the league) however there is a full host of Six Nations that the club will be showing on Saturday. It was a great atmosphere last weekend for the Sunday game so do head down to watch if you are looking for a venue.

Pitch plan

Another busy Sunday coming up. If you can support the adult 1st XV this Saturday (2pm KO at the club) there's an A3 derby against Guildford. The lads would appreciate any support you can give from the touchline.

Moving on to Sunday, we have visiting teams from Kingston & Esher for the Minis and London Irish are visiting the U15s - welcome all. If you are visiting please park as per our parking policy and listen to our volunteers. And a reminder to everyone, if you are arriving after 0930 on a Sunday please do not attempt to enter Barham Road. Instead, park in one of the alternative sites on the parking policy.

Talking of parking - it's the U11s on duty this weekend. Please remember to avoid parking on Drax, Preston and Hood (particularly).

Paul Goss sends his thanks to all the coaches that attended the last meeting at the club. Lots of good ideas that he'll feed back to us all on and follow up.

Thanks also from James Boatman who reports that the City Lunch last December was a huge success with a big boost to the club's coffers as a result. Will make a huge difference to the pitch maintenance budget (specifically repairs and an irrigation system) - thanks.

There was the club quiz last Friday, hugely successful and won by the U9s with the Girls section as close runners up. Watch out for news of the Mini / Youth Quiz in mid March. Details to follow shortly.

Pitch plan

Lots of people out and about this week. Welcome to Dorking who are joining us for some minis joint training and to Farnham and Effingham for youth matches.

U6 on Parking duties (sadly no cake sales this week). If you are visiting please park as per our parking policy and listen to our volunteers. And a reminder to everyone, if you are arriving after 0930 on a Sunday please do not attempt to enter Barham Road. Instead, park in one of the alternative sites on the parking policy.

U10 on Parking & U11 on cakes please. Please all remember the parking issues and follow instructions this week please & coaches get there early to avoid issues

Second hand kit sales will be open. There's about 3 items of new kit to be collected still. Anyone needing new kit, come to the clubhouse to try on kit for sizing and then order from the wmrfc.co.uk/kit or go direct to the link - https://wimbledon.akumasports.com/

On club news - fantastic win by the 1st XV last weekend moving back up to 2nd in the table. Big games to follow, and one to target against 1st place Sutton & Epsom at home on March 30th. Also on that date there is the second Presidents lunch. It would be great if the Youth and the Minis sections of the club could put together a table each for this. Please let Paul Goss know if you are keen to join a table & support the 1st XV in their quest for promotion. Email: paulg@body-logic.co.uk

Thanks to those that came down to the club on Saturday to support the first team. It was a terrific game and Wimbledon came out on top 21-19. Next home game is Sunday 16th February against Gulidford.

As for this Sunday, please park with consideration for our neighbours and respect for our volunteering parents. If you are arriving after 9.30am please do not attempt to enter Barham Road and instead park in one of the approved off-site locations. U6s on cake sales, U11s on parking.

A big weekend of rugby this Sunday - welcome visitors from Guildford, Farnham and Dorking. With the grass now wet parking is at a premium. If you are arriving after 9.30am please do not attempt to enter Barham Road and park in one of the approved off-site locations.

Link to our full parking policy.

A reminder to all, club members and visitors to continue to show respect to the people who volunteer to park on a Sunday morning. These individuals (many of whose young children don a high vis vest to support their parents) are volunteers and under no circumstances should be abused of mistreated in any way. Car parking is a thankless but necessary part of club life, 100% reliant on the goodwill of volunteers.

Most people have been moved around to accommodate matches. Please check, read and inform your age groups where they will be this weekend so there is not chaos to start the morning.

Personally I would recommend arriving early for parking and set up.
