Welwyn U17s took on Cheshunt for a place in the Plate Semi Final.
After a rusty start the tries started to flow, sadly the conversions were less frequent...
It was good to field a full strength side, and to have Matt back on the touch line - even with his crutches.
The lucky cigarette once again worked its magic for a coach (you know who you are), and Welwyn U17s were 32 to nil winners at full time.
Special mention must be made of the following outstanding participants;
Dave (the water bottle) Schroder - who despite his son not turning up, he did.
Dan - gave up with the kicking tee and still missed...
Jack - very very sharp and back to his ripping best.
The entire squad for the strength of its defence.

U17s Raise £250 for Help 4 Heroes
The U17s Squad recently undertook an afternoon of bag packing at the SavaCentre at London Colney. Armed with bright orange buckets and tour shirts, the squad raised money for their Tour and H4H.
Help 4 Heroes were really pleased with the £250 contribution to their fund raising efforts and sent the squad a H4H wristband each and a letter expressing their thanks and gratitude. The letter is on display within the clubhouse.

It is with much regret that I am standing down as Mini Junior Chairman .I have a young family and a daughter with special needs. Due to the heavy work load that comes with the position of chairman I often spend in excess of 40+ hours a week in either being at the club or on administration. I have enjoyed my time being chairman and the Minis and Juniors are a great bunch of kids. I would also like to thank those who without I would have gone madder than normal and do the real job behind the scenes.In no particular order Karen Afford, Tracey Slaughter,Gary Peterkin,Bendy Wendy and the kitchen staff. Nicola and Francis, Phill Boon and Vincy Wincy, Greg Maxwell and Cliff and all the coaches for all there hard work even when they have been a pain in the arxx.
I am sure the Mini Junior section will continue to flourish and the bad news is I will still be around coaching and playing. So chin chin and Tally Ho !!
Regards.
