Under 10s Page
Welcome to the Under 10’s team page. This is the part of the new Northwich RUFC club site dedicated to news, views and information about the Under 10’s team.
Like the rest of this site, the information included here will change and improve in time. I hope soon for example to include team photographs, match results and match reports. For the moment though we’re concentrating on accurate fixture details and for away matches, directions to the opposition club (click on the directions label name in the Result & report column or look at their web site - see link in the Opponents column).
Like you all I’m looking forward to the start of the new season, to playing again and training to improve the teams’ skills and to help everyone enjoy their rugby more. Don’t forget to tell your friends about your team as well, you can give them this web site address and better still, encourage them to come down on Sunday mornings at 10.30am for training. Like last season all ‘newcomers’ can come along during September for free, all they need is some boots. Also look out this year for joint activities with Sale Sharks and Sport Cheshire. We are one of Sale’s partner clubs this season and can expect regular visits by our adopted Sale player, by Sharkie their mascot and special offers on tickets.
 
The new season will start with Registration Day on Sunday September 1st. Come down in your kit for training with your parents and after we’ll be organising a barbeque. You should receive a registration for by post late in August, please bring it along on the day and of course if you have any questions beforehand or during the season, please feel free to contact me as always using my details below.

End of Season Report
This season has once again seen the team make big strides forward in terms of their overall rugby development and their gradual progression towards playing the full game.
Attendance at training and on match days has been very good, with having such a small squad this has been vital. We are definitely in need of recruiting some more players for this age group as we go to 12 a side next season.
The best recruiters are the players themselves so I would like to ask them all to see if they can make a big effort over the closed season to bring in some new faces, it would be appreciated.
As a team, we were extremely fortunate to have been offered the opportunity (along with the U11’s) to provide the pre match entertainment and the Guard of Honour at Twickenham for the England vs Scotland Calcutta Cup match.
What a fantastic experience to run out onto the hallowed turf of Twickenham and then watch a fantastic game of International rugby.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the parents for their tremendous support over the season and I look forward to seeing them all at the Awards day.

Last Season’s Report (U9’s 2001-2)
I took over as coach of the under 9's due to increased work commitments that were placed on Graham Mottershaw and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Graham for his efforts over the last few years. The season has been one of steady improvement with a small but very committed group of players and I would add parents.
I concentrated my efforts in all games and training to increase the skill level of all the players and I can honestly say that we have never been beaten by a more skilful side. The squad performed very well at the Cheshire Tournament and also at the festivals at Hoylake and Rochdale. I would like to thank the parents of the players for their whole hearted support throughout the season, a small mention must go to Sam Gough for getting his dad out of bed so he could get to rugby on time!
