Taking stock of what we've got.
Saturday was yet another mixed day at the office for our senior sides. The 1st went down to just three meaningful attacks in a game wherein they dominated territory and possession (see website for report) and the Vikings were overcome by Worthing. Our "social" sides, the Warriors and the Barbarians kept the flag flying with good wins against Dorking and Eastleigh respectively while the Vets kept things on an even keel drawing 19-all against Weybridge Vandals. .
On Sunday our Academy 2nd XV were well beaten by a Chichester Academy team that would have challenged our Academy 1st XV. Nevertheless, the Farnham boys got a match, played their hearts out and learned something about themselves and the game. As that game took place, our grounds rang with the shrill cries of our sizeable Girl's Section at training. Meanwhile our Junior sides were out competing in Waterfall Cup fixtures.
The volume and quality of rugby your club delivers week-in, week-out is mind boggling!
The ball keeps rolling next weekend
Next Saturday we welcome London Irish Wild Geese to Monkton Lane for our next London 1(S) encounter. 3.00pm KO.
The game will be preceded by a special supporters lunch sponsored by our principle partner, Fish Saltus - who are also sponsoring the match ball.
We'll gather at 1.15 pm to be seated at 1.30pm to enjoy steak and kidney pie*, cheese and coffee. This is afforded by the diner entering a £15 raffle. To book your seats email chairman@farnhamrugby.org.
*The Phoenix Hospitality team are happy to cater for special dietary requirements, but need 48 hours notice. If needs be, please make them aware via Gerry at gerry.b@farnhamrugby.org.
On Sunday we have a full Mini Junior schedule while the Falcons open their league season away at Bracknell.
And finally in this round up, don't forget to pick up your fireworks tickets in advance from the club house. Numbers are limited due to Covid restrictions and they are selling fast. The clubhouse is open all day over the weekend and on Tues, Weds and Thursday evenings between 6.30pm and 9.30pm.
