One of catchphrases at the Cru is ‘Rugby presents a World of Opportunity for Everyone’. With this in mind, recently Tom Redfern of the Henley College did a presentation for some of our Junior families on the Henley to Brunel University to Ealing Trailfinders pathway.

Sticking with the kicking theme...

Last night we concluded our 3rd Annual Cru Junior Kicking Clinic Series. This year we added a Scrum Half Kicking session to our Kicking from Hand session. We were really lucky to have Kieron Martin last season. This year our sessions were led by Toronto Arrows and Rugby Canada Half Back Andrew Ferguson. I can’t say enough good things about Andrew’s ability to communicate effectively with the kids, and balance the technical with lettting them experiment. My observation is ...the benefit of these clinics really shows a few weeks and months down the road. I know these players will pick away at these lessons. We hope to be back with the open clinics again in the spring. Below is Charles Brenders working on the accurate drop of the ball while moving, with some pretty good service from Sarah Harrington.
