Kick off will be at 10 o'clock so we should aim to meet at 9:30 and the game will be played on the astro-turf at All Saints College.  

As this is an astro-turf pitch please ensure the boys have suitable footwear, this should either be football trainers or a boot with blades. No studded boots please. The forecast for the weekend is good so please also make sure they have plenty to drink.

LRFC Cougars Training 26 June 2013

Good training session this Wednesday despite an early disaster for George (G) who put his hand in doggy-doo-doo!

Friendly Fixture v Fintan FC

With the Southside Tournament, unfortunately, cancelled we have been able to organise a friendly match against Fintan FC. The details are to be finalised but it will be 6th July with an afternoon kick-off of around 2pm.

The match will be played on the All Saints astro-turf a surface that we normally perform well on. 

Details of the squad are in the calendar appointment and if you have not confirmed availability for this please do so ASAP.

Park Run

Also a reminder that on 20/07 the Cougars are going to take on the Park Run course. To date Sam, his dad and his grandfather have committed so if you're up for this get in touch. Once we have played the friendly match Wednesdays 10th and 17th will be training for the Park Run.

Southside Tournament - CANCELLED

Unfortunately due to lack of teams participating the Southside Friendly has had to be cancelled.

We had two teams entered into this tournament so will look for alternatives.

Too many?

You cannot have too many Max's, Dan's, Will's, George's or Carters.

Apparently!

Cheltenham Park Run - 20th July

Every Saturday, startng at 9am, there is a free to enter, timed run called 'Park Run'. This is a countrywide initiative to simply get people running.

It's not a race. It's a timed run.

Run it, run-walk it or walk it. You get an official time and then you try to beat that. 

Simple!

On Saturday 20th July i would like to have as many players take part in this (mums, dads and siblings shouldnt be shy about joining us either). 

Among the players we have a wide range of running ability but i stress that this isn't a race. Register online then print and keep your barcode safe. Run on 20th July and get a time. Then get motivated to beat that when we next run as a team or if you want to on your own. 

Simple!

How does this fit in with your football? Well that's even easier... while we are a match, on our day, for most teams we are not the biggest or the strongest team so to compete we need to be the fittest.

LRFC Cougars U13 Season 2012/13 Review

A difficult season. Funnily enough not necessarily because of ability but more because of availability. The league table does not lie and we have finished 5th out of 8 teams - comfortably outside relegation but not challenging. 

We played 14 league matches scoring 46 goals (which includes 2 own goals) but conceding 48.

When you consider availability we have had four players that played every match this season, Willbo, Louis, Luca and Freddie............

The full report including the players end of year report can be read here.

Week beginning 03/06

Training

Just a reminder that there is training at The Burrows from 1830hrs on Wednesday evening through to 1930-1945hrs. It might be good for the lads to bring running shoes, if they have them, or other trainers that they can run in for the start of the session. They should, obviously, also bring their football trainers/boots and shin pads too.

Presentation Day

The LRFC Club Presentation day is this coming Saturday (08/06) details are on the club website here (http://leckhamptonrovers.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/lrfc-presentation-day-8th-june.html). Hopefully we'll see a lot of the lads there and wearing their kit. 

Paintball

The following weekend (15/06), aswell as being Fathers Day, is also when we go paint-balling. More details will follow and can i also request that anyone that hasn't paid arranges to do so in the next week.
