NLD u17s announcement
Due to the adverse weather and water logged pitch conditions THERE WILL BE NO u17S training session on Monday 17th February at Newark RFC.
The next session will be on Monday 24th February, subject to pitch inspection and improved weather.
The U17s Trials were held at the University of Nottingham on Sunday afternoon and some 51 players were put through their paces by the NLD Coaching Team assisted by Dave Andrews, Head of Game Development.
After the session’s conclusion, the Coaching & Management Team met with the difficult task of selecting those players who will go through to the next stage.
Following this announcement, dates will be posted giving the dates for the forthcoming training and selection sessions together with the dates for two warm up games for the Squad.
