HARWICH and Dovercourt Rugby Club club head Shane Manning cannot wait to get his players back for pre-season.

The squad will be reunited next Tuesday and then train every Tuesday and Thursday until the start of the new Eastern Counties League campaign.

“We had an excellent time last season, winning the Suffolk Plate, being Suffolk Cup semi-finalists and only losing one league game all season,” said Manning.

“Fitness and good team structures were key factors so that’s what we’ll be focusing on again in training.”

The sessions will start at 7.20pm.

Training is open to everyone, from established players to novices to anyone looking for a new club.

Both senior and youth players (aged 14 to 17) are welcome.
