Squad

Last season we had 36 registered players in our squad. We have increased this to 41 for this season.
We recruited 18 from last years under 16’s.
We have lost 13 players, 9 through age and 4 through transfers and moves from the area, (Tom Millership, Robert Jones, Rav Mangat, and Geraint Nutt).

Of our 41 players, one is injured for the season, (Mark Schropfer) and three of our players will be absent for most of the season, (James Longden in Australia, Andrew Jenkinson in Austria and Rhys Ruddock at Millfield).

    Mumbles RFC Youth Annual Sportsman’s Dinner

    I plan to continue the arrangements made in previous years and arrange the Mumbles RFC Youth, Annual Sportsman’s Dinner for Friday 29th February 2008.

    Tour

    We plan to tour again in 2008. This is likely to be on Thursday 3rd April to Sunday 6th April to Cologne where we hope to play a German national side. Full details are still to be finalised.
