Well, this weekend sees the start of a
big 4 weeks for Maids with the first of
our three crucial relegation games coming
up
Although we gave them a trouncing 40-18
at Braywick at the beginning of the season
(those were the days), nerves and importance
will probably make this a closer affair
Reading are rumoured to have brought in
a new team for the last part of the season,
this should not worry the Maids though as
we know that we are 40 points better than
them and just need to play to our full potential
Make sure that you are there to support
the boys, it is only 10 miles down the A4
and should be a great atmosphere, as it
always is at Reading
Perfect for a family day out as you get
dropped off at the game and the rest of
the family hit Reading Oracle - perfect

 Get Fit This Summer
Entries for the Spring Touch League
are now open and it
would be great to see some teams competing from
Maidenhead RFC squads, supporters, coaches and even
sponsors
Now in it's second year at Braywick, touch
rugby is returning this summer for another season. This
a great opportunity for some fun but also gives participants an
ideal opportunity to maintain their fitness and skills
during the off-season, without the risk of injury
Some information
The League runs Men's and Mixed Divisions,
with teams of 6-a-side playing (a squad of 12 players
is ideal)
The Maidenhead/Slough League will
be held at Braywick Park, Maidenhead, on a Tuesday evening,
starting on 29/04/08 and run for 8-weeks

New Feature
Rugby Trivia
---
The referee Colonel
W S D Craven was so unhappy with the scrummaging
in the France vs Wales international in 1920 that
he fed the ball into the scrum himself to make
sure of a straight feed
---
Jean Sebedio, coach
of Lezignan, France in 1920 had an unorthodox
approach to training sessions. Sebedio, who was
a French International, would sit in the centre
circle wielding a whip and wearing a sombrero
while his players trained around him. It obviously
worked as Lezignan won the French Championship
in 1929
(sounds mild compared
to Maids U15 coaches - The Ed)
