"our next opponents should be running scared ...."

Sunday saw the first set of matches under the new team colours with Green and Blue teams playing 2 games against Mansfield. ( rest assured Red and Yellow have not been forgotten and play our next match, see match schedule).

As always the teams warmed up with some fun rugby orientated games to get those fingers and heads in the right place and more importantly get the muscles warm.

As is the norm so far the weather was perfect for Rugby, the ground even more so ( apologies for the washing).

The Green teams started against the more experienced of the Mansfield teams and started strongly although a little indisciplined with some poor and dangerous tackles, great to see the Newark boys outraged at a breach of the rules, shows that all that training has worked and they know the difference. Throughout the game the boys played fantastic, with good support, running and confidence giving them a comfortable 5 try win over Mansfield A, followed by a double digit try fest over Mansfield B.

The Blue team triumphed in similar fashion, with some amazing tackling and teamwork.

Reds and yellows unfortunately did not play, however from a training and preparation side, our next opponents should be running scared as they are clearly champing at the bit to play.

Overall a great day with many comments about the standard of play and more so the discipline and sportsmanship shown throughout the games, in what is looking like a potentially strong side. Well done to all the team( and parents) they were a credit to Newark.

On the coaching front, we were pleased to have 3 new level 1 coaches, with Rob, Jon and Will completing the course over the Christmas period.

Another great day of Rugby, thanks for the support.
