U9s at Richmond Festival

Simon Baker2 Oct 2023 - 08:20

First contact!

U9's had their first taste of competitive contact rugby on 1st October at Richmond Rugby Club's Autumn Festival. We took one team of 11 players along and had five matches, against London Welsh, Richmond, Teddington, Battersea Ironside and Harlequins. We had an amazing day of rugby and lots of fun, tries and tackles. It was great to see everyone enjoying contact for the first time, and working as a team. We don't keep score at this age, but our players did Chiswick RFC proud.

PARKING
Richmond Athletic Ground (RAG)
• There are 300+ parking spaces at the ground but it does fill up quickly. The shape of the parking areas (long & thin) mean entry/ exit is slow. We will be operating a first come, first served basis. There will be stewards on duty trying to ensure all spaces are taken up and we will close the car park once it is full.
• There will be a charge for car parking of £5. This will be non cash, so please have a credit card, phone or watch ready to swipe as you enter the ground.
• U9s/ U10s – You are on the far pitches and please could you park at the back of the car park.
• Once our car park is full, we will direct cars to use one of pay & display two car parks.
o Firstly, on the other side of the A316 heading away from Richmond towards Twickenham. There is a short walk from this car park across the metal footbridge over the A316 to the club.
o The other is a pay and display car park next to Richmond rail station which will be quiet on a Sunday morning.
• Please do not park in the Pools on the Park car park (they get very grumpy with us!)
• Please do not park in the streets around the ground (the residents get very grumpy with us!)
• Please allow plenty of time to park, walk to the ground, locate your pitch and get ready.
• Please download the Ringo app as this can be used for parking in the council car park.
• Better still, get the train (or bus) to Richmond station and walk the 5 minutes to the ground/ park!
• Please car pool where possible!
