Following previous successful competitions we have introduced another one. On the website there will posted this image
I know there is one on this post but there’s another one somewhere else on the website (very funny quoting this one!) nor is it the one in the ‘pelican brief’ that again is just advertising the competition – I give up!!
The first one to email me where it is on the website will win. The date it will posted will be Sunday 7th March. The prize…… something a little different; a personal graphite drawing 10”x 8” on paper of the winner in action, signed and dated. (personal choice of image and style) there are examples in the latest newsletter found on website as a pdf or a paper copy in the clubhouse
it has now been posted on the website, as of 8.13pm Good luck

Well it appeared to be a wash out this weekend for many followers of rugby. On the international front, apart from the Irish all the home teams all sunk without trace. A trip to Twickenham for a few ended with being wet on the outside as well as the inside!
| Team | P | W | D | L | F | A | PD | TF | Pt | ||
| 1 | France | 3 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 77 | 39 | 38 | 7 | 6 | |
| 2 | England | 3 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 63 | 49 | 14 | 5 | 4 | |
| 3 | Ireland | 3 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 59 | 60 | -1 | 6 | 4 | |
| 4 | Wales | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 68 | 80 | -12 | 7 | 2 | |
| 5 | Italy | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 39 | 58 | -19 | 2 | 2 | |
| 6 | Scotland | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 45 | 65 | -20 | 2 | 0 |
On the Pinner front: The 1st XV were able to rest this weekend following their hard fought battle and victory over London French “Sour French meet their Waterloo at the hands of Pinner” (Harrow Observer), we won’t mention the Reza Sibilant self appreciation society yet again I promise!!
| Herts/Middlesex 3 | ||
| 1 | Ickenham | 19 |
| 2 | Pinner & Grammarians | 16 |
| 3 | London French | 16 |
| 4 | Thamesians | 12 |
| 5 | Hatfield | 8 |
| 6 | Old Tottonians | 8 |
| 7 | Watford | 3 |
| 8 | Cuffley | 2 |
This weekend they entertain Thamesians RFC who are currently 4th in the Herts/Middx 3 League, should be a great game as Pinner will want revenge for an earlier defeat and secure their place as second in the league. Its worth coming down to the club this Saturday to cheer our lads on and undoubtedly watch a great competitive match.
On the Youth Section side; their away fixture with Hammersmith and Fulham RFC was cancelled owing to a waterlogged pitch, something a lot of clubs had to put up with this weekend. This weekend the under 13’s will be at home training.
The mini section had to unfortunately cancel their home fixture with Enfield Ignations RFC at the last minute, pitch inspections by several coaches (Steve George still missing under what is thought 3 inches of water) confirmed that the pitches were unplayable; it was posted on this site as soon as it was announced and texts were sent (if you didn’t receive a text please let your administrator/Jo know, also, some might find the need to turn their mobiles on in future!!)
On Sunday 7th March the mini section will be at home with Staines RFC visiting.
It will be a very busy clubhouse this weekend so make sure you don’t miss out, reminder:
1st XV @ home versus Thamesians Saturday 6th March 2pm kick off
Under 13’s @ home – training Sunday 7th March 10.30
Mini Section @ home versus Staines Sunday 7th March 10.00
A big hello to all the new members who have joined us recently, especially to the car full who turned up on Sunday ready to play in the rain (dad then promised them he would pick up a rugby ball and get muddy!)
Other news: player profiles for youth and mini sections required; (speak to spud)
New caption competition photo – it doesn’t need any introductions!
Pinner six nations table – a Mr. S Griffiths retains his top spot for the time being (this being St David’s day, we’ll give him his moment of fame!)

Sunday Training – the last of the melting snow
Training for the Mini Section resumes this Sunday after a prolonged Christmas / New Year break. The recent inclement weather (snow) has meant that there has been no formal training so far this year which means that we now have to be put in an extra effort in the coming weeks. Enfield RFC were due to visit this weekend, unfortunately the weather has knocked this on the head. We hope to see all of you ready to start at 10am prompt. Wrap up warm – plenty of layers, bring a change of clothing as it will be a very wet and muddy session.
Last Sunday saw a number of people come down to the club for an impromptu snowball fight/snowman building; a great fort was constructed which, in turn in true rugby tradition became an outside bar! (Thanks to Steve Woad who provided hot toddies).
Coming fixtures:
January 10th T Training CANCELLED
January 17th H TRAINING Enfield Ignatians (H)
January 24th A Slough
January 31st T Training
February 7th A Hammersmith & Fulham (A)
Party Feedback, Fixture and training decisions
- A big thank you to all who brought food, presents, spent time setting up,serving and clearing up The P & G Christmas Party. From what I saw it was a great success.
- Instead of me writing about it on the website / next newsletter can I ask you to ask your kids to email me their comments, or you yourselves are welcome to contribute. That way I can publish the member’s comments alongside the images Paul took.
- We are playing host to Hackney Bulls. They are bringing their U7’s – U11s (11 & 12s will play together as usual as their U12s have a tournament match). Please try to come along for our last fixture of 2009.
- I would like your opinions – we have on our fixture list one last training session on 20th December then two weeks of holiday, returning on the 10th January. Would you prefer to have the 20th off and 3rd on for training as it is at the end of the hols? PLEASE email me back with your opinions.
If I don’t see you before we at P & G wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year.
Jo and all admin and coaches and hard working helpers.
