Pembroke RFC U11s looking to add new players as squad continues to grow

Published

on

YOUNG rugby players in Pembroke are being invited to join a thriving under-11s squad as the town’s rugby club looks to bring in a few new faces.

Pembroke RFC U11s coach Gary Nevinson has appealed for more local children to get involved, saying the team has built a strong group on and off the pitch and wants to keep that momentum going.

The squad trains every Thursday from 6.30pm to 7.30pm at Crickmarren Field, Pembroke, and is particularly keen to hear from children in Year 6 who would like to try rugby in a friendly, supportive environment.

Mr Nevinson said the club is proud of the progress the group has made and believes the under-11s set-up is a positive place for youngsters to develop confidence, teamwork and fitness.

Parents who would like more information, or who want to bring their child along to a session, are asked to contact the coaches directly.

Message Dai on 07837 979079 or Gary on 07736 289892.
