πŸ₯Š PRE-SEASON GRIND MODE: ACTIVATED πŸ₯Š

The lads have been putting in the work at training, and you can see it starting to come together. πŸ’ͺπŸ‰

Auckland grids. Speed. Fitness. Handling. Pressure. Repeat.

No shortcuts. No excuses. Just putting the graft in and getting better every session. 🟒⚫

🎡 Cue the Rocky montage… 🎡

The intensity is up, the standards are rising and the boys are getting themselves ready for the season ahead.

And then… right at the end… someone remembered they were supposed to actually catch the ball. πŸ˜‚πŸ’₯

That sound effect was 100% necessary.

Pre-season isn't pretty. It's progress.

Keep grafting, lads. 🟒⚫

🚨 **IMPORTANT SEASON UPDATE** 🚨

As many of you will have seen, the RFU has announced that the start of the **competitive community rugby season will be pushed back to the week commencing Monday 21 September**.

While this isn't the news anyone at Blyth RFC wanted to hear, the decision has been made with player safety and the condition of pitches across the country firmly in mind following the prolonged period of dry weather.

We know our players, coaches, volunteers and supporters have all been working hard through pre-season and are eager to get the new campaign underway.

# # # πŸ‰ WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR BLYTH RFC?

πŸ”Ή **Our competitive league fixtures will now begin from the week commencing 21 September.**

πŸ”Ή We are awaiting further information on when any postponed fixtures will be rearranged and will share details as soon as we have them.

πŸ”Ή **Pre-season friendlies can still take place** where pitch conditions, player readiness and safety allow.

πŸ”Ή **Training will continue**, but as always, pitch conditions will be assessed to ensure sessions can be carried out safely.

πŸ”Ή We are also awaiting further guidance around **Age Grade fixtures** scheduled before 21 September, with coaches keeping their respective teams updated.

It's obviously frustrating to have the competitive season delayed when everyone is chomping at the bit to get started, but there's plenty we can do in the meantime.

**We'll keep training. We'll keep building. We'll keep preparing.**

And when the league season finally gets underway, we'll be ready to go. πŸ’šπŸ–€

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Blyth RFC β€” players, coaches, volunteers, sponsors, parents and supporters.

**See you at Plessey Road.** πŸ‰

πŸ’šπŸ–€ **VICE CAPTAIN RETURNS!** πŸ–€πŸ’š

With Cole Charlton stepping up to lead the side as 1st XV Captain, we're delighted to confirm that **Vegas Liddell** is stepping back into the role of **Vice Captain** for the season ahead.

Vegas brings plenty of experience, leadership and, most importantly, a huge amount of commitment to the Blyth jersey. Having previously held the role, we're delighted to have him back supporting Cole and the rest of the squad as we head into the new season.

A strong leadership group is already taking shape, and we can't wait to see what this group can achieve. πŸ’šπŸ–€

Welcome back into the role, Vegas! πŸ‘Š
