The U18’s Management Team would like to thank all the players who came to the Divisional Assessment Day on Sunday. The selectors noted that the general standard of player attending was much higher than usual and therefore competition was incredibly fierce. This made selection lively and difficult. Further details regarding the North Division Development Day and the Divisional Festivals will be promulgated to players and parents shortly.
Yours in Rugby,
Jason Kennedy
Team Manager
North Division U18
