FARNHAM JUNIORS TAKE COUNTY HONOURS

In a season when the First XV has struggled manfully, the Mini/Junior section of the club has proved beyond doubt that rugby skills flourish at Farnham.

Last Sunday the Under 16 squad were confirmed as Surrey Champions on the day they won the Alton 7’s competition.

The Under 11’s were also crowned County Champions winning the annual Surrey Mini Rugby Festival.  Click here for more information.

The Academy came a close second in their Surrey league Under 18 conceding the title by one point to Old Alleynians, a side allegedly filled with representative players.  For a review of their season, click here.

After a very difficult season for the senior club on the playing front, this was a good way to end the season in style. Interested players who want to work on their fitness over the summer are reminded that the Peddle Club (bring your bike) takes place on Tuesdays from 7.15 p.m. at the club throughout May and June, and that pre-season training is scheduled to start on Tuesday 8th July.

Monkton Lane update

The date for the Public Inquiry into our proposed move to Monkton Lane has now been set and will take place over a six day period starting on June 3rd. The Inquiry itself will be held at Waverley's offices in Godalming.  The Inquiry will last for six days following which the Inspector has a period of 8 weeks to make their recommendation to the Minister responsible, who then has a further 10-12 weeks before a decision is announced. So, one way or another we should know if we are moving by October of this year.
