			<description><![CDATA[Well done guys, were in the playoffs! Birmingham Away next week, though as we are playing their 1st team at OC's. the thinking is that we may do a double header at our place. As we've not played for weeks, we need as many down to training on Thurs nite so we can have a good hit up and work out some set piece stuff.

Now the season starts to get interesting!]]></description>

			<description>What a great win today. That together with the Bulldogs beating the Phoenix means that whilst we still have to win our last two games but if we do we will be Minor Premiers!

Leicester have to beat us next week to give themselves a chance to make the playoffs and then Birmingham still can make the cut if they beat us.

So, we now face our two closest and oldest rivals in winner takes all games!.

After our run, undefeated since Ty pinched the win in Leicester we must be feared by everyone.  ...</description>

			<description>Will we receive points and/or a default result for the telford (non) match? i read on the telford site that they were calling a meeting to discuss various problems (injuries, attendance at training etc). Could this lead to them dropping out as Redditch did with all results struck off?</description>

We need to win to maintain our lead at the top of the table. I understand their first team is playing away so this promises to be a good open game. 



As always priority goes to members, those that pay their subs etc. New players are given a weeks grace and students only pay £3 (normal charge £5)

Monday is drawing to a close and its time to get organised for Hopefully a carnival atmosphere at Old Covents this saturday. Those that played last saturday will want to make up for the 24-all draw and after hearing we were winning 18-0 must be feeling disappointed!! The general concensus was that we were limited as 3 players were injured leaving 13 to finish the game. This week we need the lads who are up and coming to come training and irrespective if you are injured,  ...</description>

Please wear sun cream in this hot sun. Skin cancer can hit at any age and those of us who cut a dash in shorts and top are more at risk. Any concerns, see the GP.

Also, take plenty of fluids on board on Saturday morning. Aim to drink 1.5 to 2 litres before the games.

Cheers men (and chicks).]]></description>

			<description>The injuries that our lads have suffered over the last few weeks have highlighted the need to have physio cover.

The insurance we have covers very serious accidents, but does not cover breaks and strains etc.

Players are reminded that they need to take out private accident insurance to cover loss of earnings etc.

We built into the budget the money to pay for a physio at all games. That has proved to be easier said than done. 

The budget was based on collecting membership fees and weekly match  ...</description>

<br />

<br />
This weekend sees the Coventry Bears A travel to Birmingham Bulldogs A. These are top of the league and have already qualified, so no doubt this will be a tough game! Can you start to let Dave knowles, or myself know if you are available. Hopefully we can put the disappointment of last week behind us and focus on this weekends game.

			<description>Men, just wanted to tap into your minds for hints and tips of being markers at the ruck. Ash and Tucker helped a lot at training last night (cheers) but let's hear what the rest of you have to say. 



So far I reckon the tacklers need to slow down the roll the ball by getting off the ball carrier slowly.  The front marker needs to stand square on and not too close to the ball carrier. (How far is too far?) 

He points in the direction of his best guess for where the ball will go, right?

			<description>Gents,



we replay the royals in which will be a very tough away game as they will desperately want to turn us over at their ground after we narrowly beat them last week. I need all players to either meet at Old Covents at 11am, leave at 11.30am prompt. Players travelling to the ground will not pay subs, although I do encourage car sharing. If you are going straight to Leamington please let me know.

   The address is Old Leamingtonians RFC, The crofts, Bericote Road, Leamington Spa, CV32  ...</description>

			<description>Alright Lads



its getting to the time of year where we go out in fancy dress and get ruined (except Timo who gets ruined off two pints!!)     



Anyone got any ideas for fancy dress social??



Could have the usual pub golf!! or go for deal or no deal boxes??



How about Irish night for Boomer?



Or of all things a Boomer night!!! All dress as Boomer!!    



What you think put your idea down, and get the banter going!! </description>
