An Eventfull Week End

Some people may say it’s a lot of work, others look at the members of the club and see what they get out of it, gratfull to say I look at the latter of the two. From coaching for 3 hours on Saturday, then down to Kilsby Lane to help the other volunteers plant trees and shrubs, this is an essential part of the planning of Kilsby Lane and we have a laugh while down there. Well that’s Saturday gone, one more day to go then a nice peacefull week at work, well I can always wish for it!!.

Sunday and the under 13s in action in the cup with a team in a higher league, they did well, bit sleepy at times but they gave a great display and considering myself and Loz took the team for the first time in a game due to the management being away they listened and played a good game, we as coaches for the team took a lot away from the game to work with, in readyness for the next league game.

The only other game was the ladies and playing at home down Kilsby Lane on the main pitch with lots of room to work with, 2 great first half goals sealed the win for the ladies in a first half even I was pleased with as there manager!!. The 2nd half was just as good but a different type of play by the ladies we had to play the energy game and that’s one place we at Rugby can do with the oppostion pressing hard and Rugby looking for the counter.

With 2 ladies going for the ball the opposition player went down in a lot of pain, the game was halted and emergency services called, and another plus point for the Rugby Borough, the speed and efficently the fast response paramedic arrived followed by the amblunce to take the lady to hospital with suspected broken ankle. I am pleased to report a baddly bruised ankle and in some pain with may be ligiment damaged but not broken, the lady left Walsgrave hospital Sunday night, we at Rugby wish her a speedy recovery and back to football asap. It just goes to show some times bad injurys can happen, may be lucky or not but in all my time (8 years of coaching) 1 broken rest and a broken collar bone, while not nice for any one getting any injury it is a contact sport and I for one is thank full that is all the breaks I have had with over 100 players coached in this time. Best wishes to the lady, no one wants to see any one injured to a point of time out of the game.

Well that was the week end, oh and another meeting in the evening to finish, back to work now, but bring on Wednesday for midweek training, keep going Rugby Town Girls & Ladies FC and lets look for the strong finish to the season over the next few months.
