The A/Bs trained at home with Twickenham while the Cs took on Rosslyn Park and London Irish in round 1 of the WLDL. This fixture always seems to come a little early for us and both RP and LI fielded well organised teams with Teddington going down 25 - nil in each match. Our boys just need more game time together and it was pleasing to see the second halves of both matches were better than the first. Well done Cs, its early days.

Things to note / action:

1) Player Availability - we have a load of fixtures through October, every player will be called up on 11-Oct where we are looking to field 3 teams. Please make sure your child's availability is recorded on the website so the coaches can select teams.

2) Injuries & Illness - please let us know asap if your child is carrying an injury or you suspect may be coming down ill so we can adjust the squads / call up replacements in time for fixtures.
