Training

First training session of the season today, after yesterday's fun games.  So far it has been touch rugby only by now they are starting to learn to tackle.  As a result, they have to wear mouthguards which CyclopsJnr is excited about.  The tackle practice (socket to pocket, cheek to cheek - don't ask!) was followed by more touch games, but instead of passing when touched, they were learning to roll and set the ball back.  CyclopsJnr greatly enjoyed these games and did really well.  He was excellent in defence, and even scored a try.  He loved it.

Afterwards we went to Craigies for lunch, cake and fruit picking.  We got a load of strawberries and raspberries, a few plums, some brambles, a bit of kale, and some purple sprouting broccoli.
