Did we actually cover 5K? We're still not entirely sure... ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿป

What we do know is that last Saturday's pub crawl had lots of laughs, a lots of drinks, some questionable drinking games, an intense game of Jenga, a visit to Jaz Bakes cake shed, a bit of rugby training along the way (yes, someone bought a rugby ball with them), and pizza and kebabs to finish off the night.

A great day spent with great people.

Thanks to all the pubs who hosted us along the route:

๐Ÿ“ The Prince of Wales

Some of our senior players got together tonight for another off-season training session with David Conlon personal training, our Strength & Conditioning Coach.

Romanian deadlifts, core work, jumps, push-ups, and pull-ups were on the menu... safe to say there'll be a few sore legs tomorrow!

As well as playing for the club, Dave is also a Personal Trainer and does a fantastic job helping the squad develop their strength, fitness and athleticism.

Thanks Dave!

On Saturday, some of our seniors headed to Kingsholm to watch Gloucester take on Newcastle in their final game of the season.

Great result, great atmosphere in the shed, and a decent social to go with it. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday. ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿป

Next up: the Cainy 5K this Saturday. See you there!

Our Minis & Juniors enjoyed a fantastic end-of-season celebration in May.

It was lovely to see so many young players receiving their medals, certificates and awards, and even better to see so many families coming together to have fun and celebrate another brilliant season.

Well done to everyone involved! ๐Ÿ‰

And we want to say a huge thank you to all the volunteers at our club ๐Ÿ‘

There is so much that goes on behind the scenes every week, across every age group and every part of the club, and it would be impossible to list every role or every task. But what is clear is that none of it happens without the selfless time, energy and commitment of our volunteers.

From coaching and team management, to organising fixtures, cooking hot dogs, serving drinks, setting up pitches, planning and helping at events, fundraising, safeguarding, and everything in between โ€“ your efforts keep the club running.

So from everyone at the club: THANK YOU!!! Your contribution makes a real difference, and it is genuinely appreciated.

On Friday 8th May, members of the club gathered at The Hill for our End of Season Awards Dinner โ€“ a fantastic evening celebrating the achievements of the season and the people who make our club what it is.

Congratulations to our award winners, pictured on the evening with Club Chairman Adam Carter:

๐Ÿ† Coaches' Player โ€“ Conor Glassonbury
๐Ÿ† Most Improved Player โ€“ Conor Glassonbury
๐Ÿ† Club Person of the Year โ€“ Mark Newman
๐Ÿ† Spirit of Rugby Award โ€“ Mark Powis

A special mention goes to Conor, whose clean sweep of Players' Player, Coaches' Player and Most Improved Player is a remarkable achievement and something rarely seen.

Congratulations to Mark Newman on being named Club Person of the Year. As 1st Team Captain and a regular helper with Mixed Ability and our U13s, Mark embodies the commitment, leadership and community spirit that make our club so special.

Congratulations to Mark Powis on receiving the Spirit of Rugby Award from our Mixed Ability Rugby section. This award recognises the values, inclusivity and camaraderie that sit at the heart of rugby, and celebrates those who make a positive impact on everyone around them.

A special thank you to Jo Carter for planning and organising the evening. From start to finish, it was a brilliant celebration of another season.

Finally, thank you to everyone who has played, coached, volunteered, sponsored, supported from the sidelines, or contributed to the club throughout the season. Whether you're pulling on a shirt, helping at an event, coaching a team or supporting from the touchline, you all play a part in making this club such a special place.
