A great mixed touch session, working on our drives before putting them into practice in a match to finish. Brilliant to see players of different ages and genders enjoying rugby together!

Weekend

U14s v Nottingham Casuals (Home)

Corsairs U14s welcomed a strong Nottingham Casuals side from just down the Trent in Beeston. A closely contested first half saw the teams level at the break, before an excellent second-half performance secured a 62–26 win for Corsairs.

The forwards worked hard to protect possession and create scoring opportunities, with particularly strong carrying from Oscar B and Ali. Harry’s distribution in the number 10 shirt helped turn that platform into points. Most pleasing was the quality of decision-making throughout the game - a great team effort.

U13s v Mellish (Away)

U13s were away against a strong Mellish team. The team made a great start putting Mellish under a lot of pressure. The game was fairly balanced, but Mellish had couple of outstanding players who tipped the tables with some massive runs. Mellish ran out deserved winners but the whole team held their heads high any persevered to the last.

Some great performances all around, but special mentions to Thomas who made some powerful runs in one of his first games and Ben who gave his all for the full match and took their biggest players on at ever opportunity.

U11s v Mansfield (Away)

An early 9.30am kick-off as the U11s travelled to Mansfield for the first time.

A great performance from the boys, with some really committed tackling and clever use of kicking. On the balance of play, we probably edged the try count too!

The boys loved receiving their new shirts for the season and certainly looked the part!

Thanks to Mansfield for hosting us in their clubhouse afterwards – the hot dogs went down a treat as always!

U10s Training

The team had decent numbers today to allow for a core skills session.

In the run up to a row of fixtures, coaches Tim and Kirsty focused on tackling technique and running onto a pass to take the ball further up the field.

The team were enjoying using the width of the pitch to move the ball along the line eating up yards on the field.

Skills were put to the test with an end of session team v team game.

Great progress made today by the team, with a final push planned for midweek training the team will be match fit for next Sunday.

U9s Training

Another week of intense tackling, and quick ball recycling today, with a game at the end to test it out. The team are really improving week on week. Also they all loved their new shirts.

U6’s Training

Our U6s had another brilliant session today! They tackled an obstacle course before practising running and passing through the gates, with a big focus on developing proper passing rather than just pop passes! They even started working on changing direction to confuse defenders and anticipating where attackers might go.

It's lovely to see their confidence growing week by week, along with their passing skills and understanding of the game. Some fantastic progress from our littlest Corsairs
