Nice work Jason, quite a programme. I will make the ones I can.

Was great fun today….even in the pissing rain.

See you on Tuesday.

Fixtures update

Dear all

I hope the recovery has gone well. My aches and pains have gone but my smile just wont go away!!! Awesome performance on the weekend!!

Jason Bolwell (jason.bolwell@hotmail.com) will continue to take training on Sundays, 10.30 at Woodside (Field of Dreams) and also a fitness session on Thursday nights. I am going to hand over all email comms to Jason now (hope this is OK Jason) so hopefully he will now email you all with details.

Just to confirm our next fixtures;

December 12th – Totton (Home)

January 2nd – Eastleigh (Home)

both 2pm KO’s

Owen is now officially the fixture secretary so I am sure he will be emailing you all with more details.

See you on Sunday.

Jason

Return to the Field of Dreams

Hi all

Time is upon us again to get back onto the Field of Dreams and defend our unbeaten record. Players, please be at the Pavilion at Woodside Park at 11am, as before we will train for 45 minutes and then get changed and play the game. Kick off is now at 12.30 but we still need you all there for 11am.

Please spread the word, it would be good to see the crowds down there again. As before post game is at the Chequers for a Chilli and a couple of pints.

Bring some cash as we will have some polo shirts on sale, £20.00 each.

See you all there tomorrow.

Cheers

Jason

Wednesday training – cancelled

Dear all

We seem to have come to a brick wall with midweek training, despite everyone’s efforts to help and accommodate us we have not been able to confirm anything regular. I would suggest we have to stick to Sunday morning training at Woodside, this is also free so suits the club bank account.

Sorry about this, if it changes I will let you all know but for the foreseeable future it is training on Sundays, 10.30 at Woodside.

See you there,

Jason

Sunday training – always ON!

Image by Jeremy Brooks via Flickr

Hi everybody

I missed the email cancelling training Sunday, so there was only two there – me and a new player!

For future reference, I WILL ALWAYS GO TO TRAINING ON SUNDAY, 1030 to 1200, unless you hear from me otherwise in advance, or unless the weather is dreadful (apply common sense!). I will bring a ball and some bibs.

So anyone who cannot make Wed eve (as with me on occasions), or just fancies it, you are most welcome. Even with just a few players, I think it is nice to do some fitness stuff and throw a ball around for an hour or so.

Best to everyone

Chris

Wednesday night training – watch this space

Dear all

Hopefully you are all recovering well (Adam and Nathan I know this is going to take a while!!) and are ready to get back out there. I have just been to see the football club to see if we can use their pitch again tomorrow and it is looking hopeful. We may have the option to train next to the football pitch on Thursday as they have training anyway which would also work as an interim solution. We are waiting to find out. So please be on standby to train either tomorrow or Thursday.

We have momentum now so lets keep this moving. Looks like we may have a game against Fawley on the 21st so we need to keep training.

Again, speedy recovery to Adam and Nathan.

Cheers

Jason

WHAT A DAY!!!!!!

Image via Wikipedia

Hi all

Just a quick note to update you on Adam. I have just returned from the hospital and although in a lot of pain he is OK but does have a 22cm hole in his bum!!! A really bad cut but hopefully no permanent damage.

Thanks to John and Nud for administering the first aid on the side line which has been praised by the doctors. Nathan was also injured yesterday but I have not been able to get an update on his condition, hope you are OK.

So apart from these injuries……..WHAT A DAY!!!!!!

We played well, got better as the game went on and had a lot of fun.

Fantastic work from everyone. We did suffer from a problem I was not expecting and that was too many players, I am really sorry about the few of you that did not get on, time just flew by and we must learn from this and manage our subs properly. The support was unbelievable and goes to prove we were so right when we said Lymington needed a Rugby Club, it was absolutely amazing.

Thoughts are now to our next game, the chat last night was for us to get some 2’s and 3’s action rather than just vets games, I personally think this is a great idea and I welcome your thoughts on this. I think a game in the next 2 to 3 weeks would be ideal.

Will let you know about Wednesday training but lets keep the Sundays going, 10.30 at Woodside.

All in all a fantastic day, all the hard work has paid off.

WE WON!!!!!!!!!!

Thoughts go out to Adam and Nathan, get fit soon.

Cheers

Jason

the final hurdle

Last night’s training took place at Lymington Town Football club’s ground under floodlights at 6pm. We did some contact, rucking and lineout work in the forwards and the backs working on some moves and support. We rotated the work across the pitch and avoided scrums – we want to be able to use the pitch again! Cheers Dom for sorting that out.

Jason sent an email out today – “the council have said they have issues getting our posts ready. Long and short of it is we need to help them out at 8am on Saturday morning or the game has to be cancelled. We have come too far with this to cancel now. I need 4 or 5 volunteers to help out at Woodside, 8am this Saturday. Who can help? “

This was the urgent message that without Lymington Mariners helping out the council where unable to get the posts erected. Needless to say the volunteers were forthcoming and the game goes ahead.

OK, good work lads, Ronan, Phil J, Tom, and Jamie L. These lads are meeting on the pitch at 8am on Saturday. If anyone else wants to help them I am sure the extra hands would be appreciated

Otherwise see you at Woodside tomorrow at 1pm

Great value rugby gear

Hi guys

Here’s a couple of the websites I’ve used recently for cheap rugby gear in case any of you were looking. I know that both Newitts and MandM don’t use royal mail and can do a next day delivery if you need any stuff before the weekend – (I personally have gone for it big time in the additional protection/padding purchases!)

all the best
