An awesome first contact session led by club coach, RFU development officer and ex international Simon Verbickas saw 32 kids enjoying their first taste of tackling.
After a few years of chasing wavy tags, the moment came to see who was all mouth (or gum shield) and who got stuck in. We were delighted to see virtually everyone committing themselves to contact earnestly although there was a little hugging from time to time!
Some individuals stood out in the tackle area not least: Zac Padania, William Guy, Joel and new kid on the block Oliver. Tackle of the day went to James Caldwell who, wind and hill behind, launched himself at his opposite number and made the sort of hit often seen on tele. (Piece of advice James - put your head behind the man and not in front of his knee - it generally hurts less!).
Delighted to see no less than 6 new guys appear. You and anyone else are always welcome at Sandbach and we hope to see much more of you.
