U13s partnership

Dartmouth U13s have forged a successful alliance with Salcombe RFC. Both clubs had insufficient numbers to form a full side, and with a full fixture list ahead of them that they couldn't hope to fulfil, Salcombe had announced its plans to fold at U13s level. Dartmouth had not fixtures at all for U13s. But at the beginning of half term Jake, Jed and Olly (and Angus - but he's a bit young really) travelled to Salcombe to help them to victory against visiting Newton Abbot. Damon and Chris who went with them could not have been made more welcome and were plied with free breakfasts and beverages as a mark of gratitude. Tom Woods, the Salcombe coach, has now given me a pile of fixture lists and membership forms (our boys will have to register with SRFC for insurance purposes but will not need to re-register with the RFU) and the next match is on Nov 22nd away at Paignton. Please let me know if you would like your son to play on that day. I'll be at training on Thursday with all the paperwork. Salcombe train on a Friday and while they'd love to have us there they understand that Friday night is judo/youth club/pub night for us in Dartmouth! So if our U13s could continue to train together on a Thursday that would be great. This is a great way of keeping our lads playing together and keeping rugby alive in Dartmouth and Salcombe. Let's help to make it work.
