We’ve been training through the hot summer months, and now the start of the season is in sight. But ahead of the premiership games starting, we’ve got some trial games lined up.
These games are important for our players. It’s when they ramp up their training, test out the game plan and put the hard work they’ve already put in to good use. It’s a key part of our preparation.
13 March
The first weekend of trial games sees us take on a set of intra-club games. These are important selection trials – put in a good performance here and you’ll be well on your way to getting selected in the team you want to be in.
