The 2016 registration evening took place last night at the clubhouse, lots of old faces and a couple of new ones as well. Coach Andy Lake outlined some dates and events throughout the forthcoming season, and these are mentioned very briefly below:- The first pre season training session will start on Wednesday 30th March and will take place at St Albans RFC, Oaklands Lane, St Albans. Training will continue on Monday and Wednesday, under lights, until the evenings get lighter and we can start training on Tuesday and Thursday at Toulmin Drive. The season starts on 30th April with a 9-a-side tournament at Brentwood. Andy Lake hopes to take two 10 men squads to compete. Two pre season games are in the pipeline. One against Hammersmith Hills Hoists from the London League and one against North Herts Crusaders from the Eastern League. Dates and times to be arranged. To celebrate the Cents 20th anniversary, a 'black tie' event is being planned. Date to be confirmed. St Albans Centurions have been invited to compete in the 'Armed Forces Day' at Crosfield RLFC in Warrington. This annual competition, (last year it attracted 4000 spectators) is a series of rugby matches between sides from the British Army, Crosfields and a 'guest team', (this year, the Cents.) It is a very good social day out and as it falls on our 'free weekend' of 25th June, the club would like to hire a coach and attend in style. More details to follow. There will be a physio in attendance on training evenings to sort out those lumps & bumps. An end of season tour has been proposed to one of the fastest developing rugby league counties in Europe - Serbia, to compete against a Serbian rugby league club and then to be on the receiving end of some Serbian hospitality. Details to follow. And finally, just a reminder that this season will be a 'no pay, no play' one. If you haven't signed on and paid your fees, then you will not be allowed to play. Those who could not attend the registration event will be able to sign on and pay their registration at training evenings before the season starts. Comments are closed.
