Hove B - Runners-up at Crowborough Festival
Congratulations once again to the B team. After winning the Plate at last week's Worthing B Festival, this week they were runners-up in the Crowborough B Festival.
The pool stages were tightly fought with Hove playing in the same pool as East Grinstead, Cranbrook and the hosts Crowborough. We drew with both Cranbrook and Crowborough and beat EG 5 to 1. Then there was an anxious wait whilst Cranbrook played Crowborough before we heard that we were winners in our group.
The semi-final was played against our old rivals Haywards Heath in what was again a very tight game. The scores stood at 2-2 at full-time and we moved into extra-time with the Golden Try rule. Coaches and parents watched nervously - would our heroes rise to the challenge? We needn't have worried as we scored straight from the restart in a move built on a brilliant run, two driving mauls, 2 off-loads and a long stretch to score for victory.
And I think it is true that for the first time in Hove's long history a First Team prop was seen to wipe a tear from his eye at the end of a game. The tackling, driving, passing, will-to-win and teamwork impressed all who saw it and won justified praise from the other team's coaches.
So to the final against Brighton. The boys didn't know it, but Brighton, fresh from their Cup victory at the Worthing B festival had swept all before them - their semi was stopped because they had scored 7 tries with no reply! The game began and neither team had a clear advantage - Hove had the possession, Brighton the territory - until from nowhere a break away try by a Brighton player who must have been a relation of Linford Christie (apart from his blond hair) put us one down. Try as we might we couldn't breach the Brighton line and another breakaway from Brighton put the game beyond reach. Final score Brighton 2 - Hove 0.
This was a fabulous day on which each and every player contributed in their own way.
Congratulations Hove B - you showed real pride!

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.
England Saxons v. Scotland A at Twickenham Stadium on Monday 28th May (15.00 kick off) www.ticketmaster.co.uk Ticketmaster: 0870 902 0000Tickets priced £20/10 and £1 for juniors (under 15s).

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

H Trophy - Sunday 11th February
Please read the following carefully.
There are TWO "H" Trophy fixtures being held this weekend - one at Horsham, and one at Hove.
Below are the team lists for both, and the order of play for both.
Jay, Francois and I will NOT be there on Sunday, so instead Lester and Stephan Pfeiffer will be looking after the team at Horsham, and Adie and Badders will be looking after the team at Hove.
I previously asked for two pitch Marshalls to help out at Hove - can you please make yourself know to Chris Betts - who will apparently be in a tent, in fancy dress. He should give you directions, and will already have laid out a pitch. He may have also prepared a running order - which he will give you, but as I haven't seen anything yet - So I have done one just in case!
Teams are as follows;
Horsham
1 Freddie Packham
2 Lawrence Wright
3 James Hadfield
4 Luke Griffiths
5 Mikey Howell
6 Freddie Garth
7 Max Karous
8 George Karous
9 Samson Pfeiffer
10 Henry Wallis
Hove
1 James Cull
2 Louie Pattenden
3 Lewis Steele
4 Gus Upton
5 Rafaele Milne
6 Freddie Nehls
7 Davis Badcock
8 Oisin Harris
9 Cal Hope-Magin
10 Luke Stacey (Probably)
I have not had any confirmation from Tom Healy, but if you can make it Tom, please go to Hove. Same for you Cameron if you become free.
Please arrive by 9.45am for both tournaments - preferably well before to give time to warm up. Both first games are at 10.30am. parking at Hove will be difficult with 3 visiting teams at every age group, so please bear this in mind allowing plenty of time.
As you can see, numbers are very tight, we literally have one reserve for each team - so if you have any problems whatsoever please let me know ASAP.
Horsham Order of Play
1 10:30 Horsham v Hove
2 10:50 Haywards Heath v Heathfield
3 11:10 Haywards Heath v Hove
4 11:30 Horsham v Heathfield
5 11:50 Hove v Heathfield
6 12:10 Horsham v Haywards Heath
Hove Order of Play
1 10:30 Horsham v Hove
2 10:50 Haywards Heath v Heathfield
3 11:10 Haywards Heath v Hove
4 11:30 Horsham v Heathfield
5 11:50 Hove v Heathfield
6 12:10 Horsham v Haywards Heath
All this leaves is to wish everyone the VERY BEST OF LUCK. Play hard like you have been training and we should have some good results!
I am really disappointed to be missing out on everything, and hope to hear via text message progress from both Horsham and Hove how everything is going.
P.S. The following Sunday - 18th is Home to Lewes & Hastings in a triangular fixture. Please all try and turn up again for this - as it should be another great opportunity to put all we have learnt so far into practice!

Fixture Update - Lewes This Sunday!!
As mentioned in an earlier post, following the cancellation of our anticipated trip to Teddington for their Tri-Counties tournament I was going to look for some other more local opposition.
I have managed to arrange that the U9's (only) go to Lewes on Sunday for some games against their teams.
They are keen to concentrate on a few areas themselves, and so have suggested that we spend the first 45mins to an Hour on our own training, before then going into games against their teams.
Usual start time of 10.00am - All are welcome, and everyone will get a game!
For those of you who don't know where their ground is please follow the link below.

Brighton College - Exhibition of Local Rugby!
I have been approached by Brighton College asking whether we would like to participate in an "Exhibition of Local Rugby" at their Senior School Open Day on Saturday 24th February.
This will be just two teams, us and Brighton, playing against each other in one game.
Their facilities are great there , so there should be no trouble with waterlogged pitches - so I am pretty sure this will go ahead! They will provide all the players with food afterwards too.
We are looking at a 10.00am start, probably about a 20-30mins game, and then food after - I would imagine finished by 11.30 absolute latest.
We need to select team a team for this additional fixture, and so can you please tell me by return if you WILL NOT be available. If I do not hear from you, I will assume that you are available and you will be considered for selection.
Thanks!

Training Cancelled - Weds 24th
Up until 8.15 Monday night, training was back on for Wednesday, but then I recieved a mail from the club cancelling it again!? I am sorry for the total confusion that seems to come out of the club - I can't quite understand why the decision couldn't be made yesterday to avoid this on-off-on-off comedy show! Hopefully we should soon be able to introduce the Wednesday night slot - watch this space for further info!
Following last weeks 11th hour cancelation, I need some help in establishing a way in making such "emergency" communications more effectively.
I am looking for 5 people, who will be willing to make 5 calls each in order to quickly spread the word. I will provide all the names and numbers, but I just need the commitment from those 5 so I know that everyone gets the message as quickly as possible.
Can you please mail me, or use the "comments" option on this blog if you are a willing volunteer and I can give you a list.
Thanks!

I am looking for 5 people, who will be willing to make 5 calls each in order to quickly spread the word. I will provide all the names and numbers, but I just need the commitment from those 5 so I know that everyone gets the message as quickly as possible.
Can you please mail me, or use the "comments" option on this blog if you are a willing volunteer and I can give you a list.
Thanks!
Fixtures and Training Update
As many of you heard yesterday, the Tri-County fixture at Teddington we had scheduled for this coming Sunday has unfortunately been cancelled, due to their pitches being heavily waterlogged.
This is a real shame, as everyone has been making real progress over the last couple of weeks, and it would have been great to be able to put what we have been training into practice against some stiff opposition.
We are going to try and arrange for either a local team to visit us, or for us to go to them, but as yet, have not got anyone lined up - so watch this space! We will let you know either way later in the week!

"H" Help Required!!
The H Festival is on the 11th February with an A team heading to Horsham to play in the tournament against Horsham, Haywards Heath and Heathfield.
This year, for the first time, we have managed to also arrange a "B" H Festival, which will be played at Hove.
We will be entering a team into both!
What we need however is to arrange for a couple of volunteer Pitch Marshalls for the U9's. The responsibility on the day is to ensure that the correct teams are on the correct pitch at the correct time with the right referee, and that the games keep as close to time as possible. It isn't a huge tournament, with just four teams, so it shouldn't be too complicated.
Can anyone who is willing to help out back at Hove on this day please let me know ASAP.
Thanks
Neale
