Following the recent RFU announcement regarding the postponement of competitive rugby, we wanted to share what this means for our Minis, Youth and Colts as we get ready for the new season.

The good news is training can still go ahead as planned, which means we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back to The Common for our usual Registration Day on Sunday 6th September from 10am. ?

Our opening training sessions will focus on training, skills, fitness and teamwork, but most importantly, getting everyone back together and enjoying rugby again.

Returning players and parents, please take the opportunity to check that your details are up to date and that you’re registered with the club. New to Southwold? Just come along! Our membership team will be there to welcome you, answer any questions and help with everything you need to get started.

In terms of fixtures, we’re currently working towards competitive rugby resuming from the week beginning 21st September, subject to further RFU confirmation.

Our Colts are awaiting further information following a meeting next week, with their opening Conference fixture on 20th September likely to be postponed.

Our Youth teams aren't currently due to begin until 27th September, with their first home fixtures from 4th October, so we’re hopeful these will be able to go ahead as planned.

For our Minis, the current expectation is also that festivals and fixtures scheduled after the proposed 21st September review will continue as planned, subject to confirmation.

There may be a slight delay to competitive rugby, but rugby-filled Sunday mornings are back from 6th September, and we can’t wait to see The Common full of Black & Gold again. ??

We’ll keep everyone updated as soon as further information is confirmed.
