Interested in a trip to Twickenham to see England Saxons?

Hi all

On Bank Holiday Monday, 28th May, England Saxons play Scotland A at Twickenham Stadium in the Barclays Churchill Cup and U16s are able to watch the game for just £1. Adult tickets are priced at either £10 or £20.

I think this might be a great end of season day out for the kids and at least as much fun as the Wasps trip. Other age groups are considering going too. More details are below.

Is anybody prepared to volunteer to organise this trip? If you are happy to help please let me know by emailing me at jay@teamvoyage.com .

Barclays Churchill Cup
For the first time ever young England fans are being given a fantastic opportunity to watch their heroes play at the Home of England Rugby for just one pound. On Bank Holiday Monday (28th May) the England Saxons squad take on Scotland A in the Barclays Churchill Cup and under 16s are able to watch the game for just £1.

This is the first time the Barclays Churchill Cup has been staged in England and England Saxons against Scotland A is likely to be one of the biggest matches of the tournament. A strong Scotland A side beat the Saxons in Toronto last summer (13 - 7) and reached the final of the Barclays Churchill Cup where they lost to the New Zealand Maori.

B Team Tournament at Crowborough 25 March

Firstly, congratulations to the B team who won the Plate Competition at the Worthing Festival on Sunday. Excellent teamwork and passing helped the team win all but one game. This achievement is even more remarkable as there were only 9 players and so every player played every minute of every game.

The A team at Chichester had a more difficult time, drawing one game and losing the other and therefore not qualifying for the knock-out stages. Despite some great individual performances teamwork let us down in the end and there is clearly more work to be done in training.

Next Sunday there is another B tournament, but no A tournament. The 9 players who were so successful at Worthing have all been selected for next weekend's B team and we have added 3 more players to make a squad of 12. The team for Crowborough is:

Cameron Simpson (f)
James Hadfield (f)
Sam Pfieffer (sh)
Dylan Broe (fh)
Lewis Steele (c)
Davis Badcock (c)
Freddie Nehls (c)
Rafaele Milne (w)
Osin (w)
Yoann Steque (w)
Daniel Foulds-Holt (c)
Louie Pattenden (f)

Please email jay@teamvoyage.com to confirm you can play asap.

Start time at Crowborough is 10.00 so please get there 10 or 15 minutes early. Directions to Crowborough RFC can be found at http://www.crowboroughrugby.com/directions.html

For all other players training at Hove is from 10.00 until 12.00 as usual.

Cheers
