Eastern Counties Rugby Union

Dear Players /Parents

Please note that training today is CANCELLED and the U17’s programme has therefore come to an end. The coaches have taken the view that many players have commitments to academic studies, important club cup games or school 7’s programmes and, in some cases, are suffering from minor sprains or niggling injuries; in these circumstances we all felt that, in the interests of player welfare, we should cancel tomorrow’s session.

Anybody who would like personal feedback is invited to email the appropriate coach who will be happy to write or talk to them.

For the avoidance of any doubt, all players in the current U17 squad will progress to U18’s in the autumn unless they are individually contacted before then by one of the coaches.

If a player is still U17 on 1st September this year, they will join the U18’s but will also have another season at U17!

I will publish the dates for the U18 programme as soon as they have been finalised so that you can make your forward plans.

On behalf of the whole EC team, I would like to thank players and parents for their efforts and support this season and say that we are all looking forward to working with you next season.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,
John P R Mackay
Manager EC U17 /18G
