Under 17s Start with a Splash
 
   After a very successful winter programme the seventeens went outside and got very muddy! This year they are being coached by Sandy Allen and it was his initiative that they should spend some time together at the Ashcombe Adventure Centre. They started the day building rafts with the aim of being involved in some raft racing. Despite staying close to the SS Great Britain in Bristol last summer it was evident, early in the piece, that there were no budding Isambard Kingdom Brunel's! At least Captain Pyle's team mounted their vessel in the lake. This was followed by a romp around the Gladiator Assault Course where the team course record time is two minutes. Neither group put this record under any undue pressure but hopefully an enjoyable time was had despite some highly coiffure hair styles taking a pounding.

  The season proper starts with a friendly fixture against the West of England over May half term but if this is clue as to what their new coach is bringing to both the sixteens and seventeens they should be on their toes.
