Hi, 

Looking forward to a trip up the M5 next Saturday. How much for a ticket these days?  Think its been about 8 or 9 years since our last visit! 

Cheers

I've got a feeling that it's £5 for preseason friendly matches

[Admin]

Club has just confirmed prices for pre season games as £5 for adults and under 16s get in for free.

Looking forward to the first game of the season and seeing the new players and old players perform and start the season with a fully confident performance.
See you Saturday.

Back from the game. Impressed with the new players I think we won 40 -28.had no program so can't give names but the no 4, no 8 ,full back ,centre and hooker shone for me. Williams on the wing has got some pace and scored a good try.
Conditions were typical Billsley gale and rain and not seen us playin those sort of conditions that well ever.

[kingsheathlad]

Correction we won 40-23

Decent performance, roll on next game !

A good game to start with. 6 tries to 3. Some excellent running from penn and williams and a nice chip from brightwell for his first try. Overall we have some very promising acquisitions.

Never saw buster today, is he injured??

[welshexile1963]

Loved it, more of the same please!!

[Gerald the Fish]

I spoke to Buster yesterday and he does have a small injury as a result of the JP Morgan sevens at Northampton last week. He said he hopes to be back in time for the last pre season friendly.

Really enjoyed the game. It was great to get back down the club. It's only our first friendly, but the atmosphere was great, the team looked like they were up for the game. I am going to miss the next two friendlies, but cannot wait for the season to start proper.

Any news on how other teams in the division have faired in their opening friendlies?

John - a good (free) place to get the pre-season results is Rolling Maul. This is the link to 'The Championship' page.

The Rugby Paper (every Sunday £1:50) carries many of the results/reports.

Thanks Comms Team
Few names there I don't recognise - Scott Browne, Jack Lea, Douglas Randall, Adam Parkin, David Evans ... Are these Colts players, trialists and/or DRs?

[willbassett]

To part answer my question (!), Adam Parkin is a DR and Scott Browne is listed as a Canterbury player on Statbunker, so I assume a trialist?

[Communications Team]

Will

Adam played for us last season on DR from Northampton

The pre-season games offer the coaches the opportunity to run their eye over some of the more promising triallists in a match environment

If any are signed on we will advise via the club website
