Christmas Message

Dear all, having been closely watching the seasons progress online, it's great to see that the 1's unbeaten run still stands, with a remarkable victory against the High School to note.  Also glad to see the 2's have overcome their sticky patch with style against Rainey.  Let's keep the foot on the gas as we move into the new year and keep complacency to a minimum. We now know we can beat anyone in the league, all we have to do is go out week after week and perform.
To everyone involved in the Boxing day clash, enjoy, but take it easy on the exiles.
Finally to everyone at Academy RFC, have a merry Christmas and a thumping start to the new year.
