Well done to all those who trained on Wednesday. After an interesting start the session went well and for the final 20 minutes it was a pleasure to watch the huge amount of commitment.
We have now chosen a squad for the match against Norfolk this Sunday - 29th January. As explained to both players and parents we will be playing all those whom we did not select for the Cambridge game. This again means we will not be able to accommodate all players this Sunday, which whilst disappointing i am sure you understand that it is impossible to manage a team with too many subs.
The squad is:
Louis Hicks, Tom Hughes, Scott Jackson, Archie Wilkinson, Jake Worthington, George Butt, Rob Attwater, Oliver Donovan, Toby Eaton, Zac Evans, Sam Conner, Callum Anthony, Harry Lee Allan, Olly Carlstroem, Luke Palmer, Rob Smith, Hugh Rafferty, Ross McConnell, Alex Sayer, Louis Falkirk, Will Higgins, Kit Wallace, Matt Wadling, Alex Farrands
The starting XV will be announced on the day and we will make every effort to ensure that all of you get game time.
For those of you not in the squad it would be great to see you at the match to cheer your team mates on.
Sunday 29 January 2012 Suffolk v Norfolk at Southwold RFC KO 1pm Meet 11.45am
TRAINING KIT
All those selected to the squad are entitled to buy a Suffolk tracksuit and a polo shirt. These are available to buy online from Tylers Sportswear www.tylers-sportswear.co.uk. However, please bear in mind if you are new this season that there are only 'A' matches and not all boys in the squad will necessarily play in a match. Also, boys selected for Eastern Counties during the season will no longer be allowed to play for Suffolk.
If the cost of kit is a problem please contact
Mrs Ann Were (Suffolk Youth Admin)

We have limited funds available to help and any request will be treated in the strictest confidence.
MATCH KIT
If selected to play in a match against another county, then you will be provided on the day with Suffolk shirt, shorts and socks, for which there is no charge. These must be returned to your coach immediately after the match. PLEASE DO NOT KEEP THIS KIT – we don’t have the funds to replace it. If you play in a match against another county during the season and you did not play last year, you will be awarded a Suffolk tie, for which there is no charge. A charge will be made for a replacement for a lost tie.
TRAINING KIT AND TIES NEED TO BE LABELLED. EVERY SEASON ITEMS ARE LOST IN CLUB CHANGING ROOMS AND WE REGRET THAT SUFFOLK RUGBY CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BOYS’ KIT AND ANY REPLACEMENTS HAVE TO BE PAID FOR. PLEASE USE A NAMED BAG AND ENSURE THAT ALL ITEMS OF CLOTHING ARE PUT IN YOUR BAG BEFORE LEAVING THE CHANGING ROOMS FOR TRAINING OR A MATCH. WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL CLOTHES ARE LABELLED AND THAT VALUABLES ARE NOT LEFT IN THE CHANGING ROOMS.
PLEASE NOTE
Due to some complaints last season, we ask that parents ensure their boys behave appropriately before and after training/matches. Boys should not be left at any Club until the coach has arrived. The only areas of the host clubs open to the boys are the bar (NO BOOTS under any circumstances) and changing rooms. All rubbish ie drink bottles, food wrappers etc MUST be put in bins or taken home. Please do not leave on the pitch or in the clubhouse.
Boys and accompanying siblings at training and matches are the responsibility of parents and siblings must be supervised at all times.
Suffolk under 15 vs. Cambridgeshire under 15 at Cambridge RUFC
Suffolk frustrated
Cambridgeshire 24 - Suffolk 5
Despite starting strongly and opening the scoring with a try from close range by prop Oliver Donovan after eight minutes, Suffolk never really imposed themselves on this match. Missed tackles enabled Cambridgeshire to draw level four minutes later and the hosts extended their lead through two more first half tries. In attack, Suffolk handling errors prevented them mounting any serious danger against a robust Cambridgeshire defensive line.
The second half was much more closely contested as Suffolk became more aggressive at the breakdown though still being dominated at scrums. Midway through the half, Cambridgeshire scored an excellent try when their full back joined the line at pace before offloading for their centre to score under the posts. Suffolk finished strongly, threatening the Cambridgeshire line on several occasions, but were unable to find the precision needed to add to their early score, so ending a frustrating afternoon.
