FIRST COACHING SESSION AT PLAYSPORT FOR BOTH SENIORS AND JUNIORS

The Junior RLCGA Squad at their Practice Session at Playsport with Lesley Mackay

The Junior Girls had their first coaching session of this year today Sunday 19th February at Playsport. It was a very cold day and so Lesley Mackay kept the girls busy practising a variety  of skills which kept them  active and focused.
11 girls attended with 6 apologies as it was the end on the School holidays.  Early days for the girls but the standard of play as the day progressed was very encouraging.   The girls really enjoyed their day.
Thanks go to Liz Hale (Junior Convenor) for the report

Well done to everyone who attended a freezing Playsport today.  Great effort by both Senior and Junior Squads.  Those who couldn’t manage along missed a fun time and the usual ‘banter’.  Welcome to our new Juniors.  I hope you enjoyed yourselves – remember to wrap up warm for the next time.
Maureen Woodhead RLCGA Captain
