Lads,


Important win on Saturday, it secured the QF, and showed we are a much better side then our results of the last month. Match report is here: http://www.brfcparis.com/matches/report/68

It was really important that we qualified for the QF's rather then got there by luck, and the dates for the quarter Finals are here: http://www.idfrugby.fr/ click "Club de Samedi" and check the "Calendrier de la Saison" - they are also below.

We're 6th, PUC lost at the weekend and even with their game in hand can't overhaul us. Antony and CSPTT have two games in hand and could finish above us but play each other Saturday. CSPTT also play PUC and Antony need to play CATH Orsay, so they all need big results in the next two games.

Worst case scenario is 8th and play ASPTT, best is 6th and Centrale, most likely 7th and France Pub. Regardless we will be playing one of the top 3 teams in the league away come QF time. Which means we have a very hard game to prepare for if we want to beat these teams

So Training tomorrow evening at Sevres and Thursday at Domont is on, please let me know your availability ASAP:

Training: Tuesday - Stade de la Fosse Renault, route de la mare aux Canards, SEVRES

Meeting point: Pont de Sevres (Metro line 9) at 8.00PM (Go to street level - meet in central reservation for buses)

Training: Thursday - Stade des Fauvettes, rue de Paris, in DOMONT (outskirts of Paris)

Meeting Point: Gare du Nord at 7:30pm (Go to street level - meet in front of turnstiles in the station that lead to 'Train de banlieue' - Surface Train) Take 7.37pm Train to Domont - train line 'H' (or next one, but try to make it on time)

10 min walk from the station to the ground

Training starts 8.30pm

As before if you do not make training you will not be considered for the knock out stages: this may seem unfair to some but there are a core group of guys who do make the effort and it's only fitting they are given the chance, priority will be given to those guys who have training regular.
