No Touch Rugby This Thursday

There is an open evening at Ellis Guilford School on Thursday this week (21/9), so Touch Rugby is unfortunately cancelled.

The session will be back on again next week (28/9) at the usual time of 8pm.

Queensbury Game Cancelled

Unfortunately this Saturday’s final league game against Queensbury has been cancelled as Queensbury have withdrawn from the league.

Senior training has now finished on Wednesday evenings, but touch rugby continues at Ellis Guilford School on Thursday nights at 8pm on the astroturf.

Touch Rugby Moves to 8pm

Touch rugby moves to the later time of 8pm this Thursday (31st August) and also moves to the astroturf at Ellis Guilford School (NG6 0HT). Trainers should be worn as boots are not permitted on the astroturf.

Sessions cost just £3 (£2 for Under 18s) and are open to the youth section as well as open age.

Outlaws Head North for Last Time

Nottingham Outlaws continue their quest for that elusive win when they travel up to East Yorkshire on Saturday to take on East Hull. They face a tough ask against the powerful Yorkshire outfit who currently occupy third spot and are many peoples favorites for the play off crown.

The Outlaws will however be buoyed by the fact that this is the last away match of the season and also by the knowledge that they are now in seventh position, free from the threat of relegation. Add to that the fact that the Outlaws have been making good progress in recent weeks means they travel full of hope and some confidence.

After almost a month without a game the Outlaws will be more than a little ring rusty, their last outing being the 22-34 home defeat at the hands of Beverley. However the side that coach Strachan has picked shows little change to the team that came so close to grabbing the elusive victory before falling away in the later stages.

A quick look at the team sheet shows that the team is largely unchanged with the return of Andy Musvaburi being being the only change in the backs whilst James Young slots into the halves with Adam Cunliffe as George Strachan returns to front six duty.

Little John’s Lotto July Update

The July draw of the Little John Lotto took place at the home of long term sponsors Upperton Limited in central Nottingham on Friday 4th August.

With quite a few members of staff preparing to leave for vacation the watching crowd was a little down on numbers  ahead of the big draw.

Those lucky enough to be watching events unfold remained enthralled as Robbie cleaned down the traces of sun cream from his apparel and then immediately set about searching the ether for the lucky winner.

Indeed, in what seemed like the blink of an eye Robbie magically produced the winning number from his bag to a spontaneous round of applause from the small band of excited spectators and interested onlookers.

Closer inspection revealed the lucky ball was none other than number 33 (thirty three) and a quick check down the list revealed that the winner was Steve Dale, keen supporter and father of Outlaws team captain Oliver Dale.  Steve pockets a cheque for £102.50 for his good fortune

Club chairman Richard Johnson was quick to congratulate Steve on his win, commenting “I am especially pleased to hear about Steve’s good fortune. Steve is a regular supporter who travels home and away so this windfall will make a big contribution to his travel costs!”

The Outlaws are looking to continue their improvement on and off the field. With this in mind  funds are needed more than ever and supporters of the club are urged to sign up and in doing so, continue to grow the game of rugby league in Nottingham.
