Gentlemen

Percy Park Academy pre season training commences at 7pm on Monday 02/07/2012 at Monkseaton High School. Our fixtures have yet to be published I will let you know when they are available.We are entered in the National U18 cup competition again and in addition will compete against other Colt teams from the senior National 3 (North) league in which our first team now play.Not only that we will be playing aginst local public schools and Universities like RGS and Newcastle University Freshers. Should be a laugh !!!!

Our first and new professional 'head coach' has been appointed . He is Ed Midcalf . Ed is a level 3 coach who for the past 4 years has been involved with the Newcastle Falcons programme. Many of our players know Ed and have 'worked' with him before. He comes highly recommended. Fortunately (or is that unfortunately) for Ed he has missed being on a naked bus with 'the girls'.......you all know what I mean !!!!!!!!!!

See you soon

Boys and Girls

Bus leaves for Wigton at 12 noon from Park. Bus is subsidised from our own account however there will be a £5 charge for parents and non players. To keep costs down we have got a 33 seater so it will be players ,coaches and physios first followed by supporters. However I do not forseee their being a problem with seat places.

Unfortunately Carlisle RFC have had to rearrange our away game which was due to be played this weekend. Carlisle contacted me late on Thursday evening to rearrange our kick off time to 1pm due to their senior club rearranging a fixture for both their second and third teams. Carlisle stated that they no longer had the pitch space, changing rooms or the ability to cater for our visit. As you are all aware our travel arrangements had been made and due to the late hour of the phone call it would have been very unfair and a logistic difficulty to get everybody including a bus to Percy Park for 10:30am. Carlisle are now exploring the possibility of playing the game on Saturday 07/04/2012 with a 3pm kick off. Carlisle have apologised and it does genuinely appear as if the fixture congestion was beyond their control. A couple of suggestions were made including the idea that Carlisle travelled to ourselves. Carlisle felt that again, due to the late hour of notification , like ourselves they would have had difficulty in contacting players and changing peoples social arrangements to accommodate the change of venue.

The fixture congestion amongst senior teams has also had an effect on our away game against Morpeth. Morpeth have found themselves in a similar situation, however they have had early notification and have promptly contacted Percy Park. The kick off for this game has now been brought forward to 12:15pm. That means we will meet at Morpeth at 11:15am.  

Happy Days !!!!
