It has been a quiet week for rugby and that means we have time to plan and prepare for next year. Stephanie, Colin and Sharon are working on finalizing coaching staff and dome, turf and field times for both winter training and beyond. John and his merry band of volunteers have completed the inventory check and he is making a Santa list of all the things we need for next season. Let’s hope Santa is feeling generous 🙂 I am also really happy to report both Rugby Ontario and EORU are already looking at schedules, so fingers crossed we will have a much earlier plan for games and tournaments in the summer. I hope whatever your plans are for the holiday season that you rest, relax and enjoy time with family. I will be taking a break next Sunday so wish you health and happiness.
