Preparation for the Quarter Finals

Lads,

So the results are in and with Antony going down 26-10 to CATH ORSAY its  official we've finished 6th. Which is not bad for a bunch of guys, the majority of whom didn't even know each other this time last year. But that doesn't mean we can relax on all our hard work as we're now playing Centrale in the Quarter finals.

Without doubt this is the biggest game of the season so far, they are a cracking side and good preparation on our behalf is absolutely essential. Therefore it's important that we get two good training sessions in this week, so without wanting to lay it on thick please make yourself available for training - and if possible please make  it along to both. If you simply HAVE to choose a session, then Thursdays session is the more important one. We need as many of the squad at that as possible, especially forwards, as we will be looking to have a team run.

Essentially though we need you at BOTH sessions, so please do whatever you need to make it.

So please confirm your attendance at, and if you will provide transport:

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)

Session Starts at 8.30pm.

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

Session Starts 8.30pm

As before if you do not make training for a very good reason it is unlikely you will not be considered for the Quarter Finals: As over the previous weeks, priority will be given to  those guys who have trained regular.
