THANKS FOR THE HOT DOGS

A big thank you from all the Crusaders to Davies's of Swansea Market for the kind donation of bread rolls for the hot dogs at the Fall Bay game last weekend.

Winter Training

In order to save the boys from Mike Morgan's Winter training bootcamp (pictured here) we have secured the use of Bishopston Sports Hall and Ashleigh Road Astroturf for the colder months of the year. Starting Friday November 4th. Details will go out via Teamer.
We will be sharing the facilities with the u10's - training one week at Bish followed by a week on the Atsro.
This will run for 12 weeks and get us through the worst of the winter weather.
In order to help pay for the winter training at both these venues we are looking for a £20 contribution from each player. Please see me at training or the game next week for any more info or to hand over your hard earned cash.

Thanks

Fall Bay game this weekend - KO at 12

We will be welcoming our good friends from Fall Bay to Bishopston this coming Sunday.
As the World Cup Final is on the same day the kick off is being put back to 12 to give everyone who wants to a chance to watch it.
Training as usual at 4.30pm this Friday and keep an eye out for Teamer invites for the Fall Bay game.

Anyone who knows they will be away in the coming weeks please let us know and we can make the required adjustments to the matrix.

Players, supporters and parents bring some cash for hotdogs which we hope to be on sale at the match this weekend. All adding to the carnival atmosphere!

DEVON TOUR - Deposits due!

Kay needs to collect in deposits from everyone going on the DEVON TOUR in May.
The amount needed at the moment is £35 per head, which will obviously be deducted from your final cost.
The payments need to be by cheque and made payable to TEAM TOURS DIRECT LIMITED

Please can everyone going get cheques to Kay either Friday at training or the game on Sunday.

v BONYMAEN AWAY

We are at the Highveld of Bonymaen this weekend. Please be there at 10.30am
If you are playing and havent replied to Teamer, please reply.

PLEASE REPLY TO TEAMER

A bit of a common theme, and at the risk of nagging everyone can you
PLEASE REPLY TO TEAMER!!
We rely on your reply to Teamer so we can field a team for the game on the weekend.
If you are unable to attend please DECLINE as soon as you can so that someone else can be given the chance to play. If you can attend please ACCEPT as soon as you can so that we know we will have a team for the weekend.

Mouthguards: boil and bite v fitted v no gum shield

In response to people asking me about what sort of gum shield they should get, here is a leaflet from Opro:

Note that gum shields prevent more than losing your teeth. They reduce the potential of cuts in the mouth and concussion. Boxers don't wear a gum shield to protect their teeth.

MAY TOUR - Numbers needed Friday

Thanks to all who responded to the Teamer invite for the Devon Tour.
Kay really needs to know numbers on Friday at the latest so we can let the company organising the trip know and get spaces allocated for us.
We will go round as many as possible on Friday at training. If we miss you can you please let Kay know by email or text or phone if you are available, if you would like to go and numbers you will be taking. All the details for the tour are further down the blog.

Kay's contact details are:
