Guys and gals - it's time to put down the pies and start supping those protein shakes - pre season training starts Tuesday August 3rd 7pm - it will be on one of the artificial pitches down at the smelly end of Valley - actual pitch number to be confirmed next week.

We'll be alternating between the artificial pitch and C'Way Bay ground for few weeks between Tuesdays and Thursdays as we wait for the luxurious Valley turf to be relaid again - before they relay it again - and again...

It's important that you make as many of these sessions as possible because we all know what the heat is like come that first match of the season and we are likely to be playing some friendlies in the last few weeks of September rather than 7s or 10s.

For those of you on the pre season tour to Singapore - 46 of you at last count - it's even more important that you get along to the pre season training as those boys at SGCC will already be used to running around in the heat and humidity and although we will have critical mass (by which i'm not referring to Olse, Riebe and Jelly) it will still be a lung busting couple of games so dig in!

Cheers

Arrann
