After about 1 hours training we congregated at the lovely renovated clubhouse. While Caroline and Alex prepared the feast, we got the children to do some teamwork games. The traditional 'Hunt the Santa' was particularly enthusiastic.

Meanwhile out in Kent our U14s, under Freddie's expert coaching, were pulling off a great comeback victory at Old Colfeans! Losing a half time they stormed back

Family

Community

Without these where would we be?

Stronger together,

Never giving in.

Together we are stronger as a kin,

A unit,

A wall of outstanding possibilities and talents,

Laying in our hands is potential,

Not just a rugby ball,

Just cherish these times,

Memories big or small,

We are the Tigers,

We are one together,

And as one we shall roar forever!

Bromley Festival - teaming up with Kings for Barbarians Teams 13th Oct.

Great Sunday of rugby for the Tigers!

Southwark Tigers had 4 teams in action at the Bromley festival - U8s, U9s, U10 and U11s. Against all the big clubs - Whitgiftians, Elthamians, Sidcup, Bromley, Colfeans, Dunstonians etc - we did really well. We won more matches than we lost and I think James' U9s won 4 of his 5 matches. It was great to work with the coaches from Kings College Pirates and share players. Also well done to Elaine who reffed the youngest teams at a tournament. It was a longer festival than anticipated and we didn't get back until 3:45pm!

U12s - Ed and Cliff went to Elthamians for the Foxbury Festival, and despite being short of many experienced players left the tournament undefeated!

At home Freddie ran the coaching for the U13/14/15s - we had about 16 players turn up and be involved in a very productive training session.

Well done everybody.

Also a big hug to Mags who is recovering from knee surgery and will soon be back running the women and girls rugby at Tigers.
