You couldn’t make it up really – England v Rest of the World returns after covid, only to land on St Georges Day, in the Queens Platinum Jubilee year!  Whether that will prove auspicious for England or if it will inspire the Rest of the World to spoil the story remains for you to see on 23/04.

Volunteers are required for bar shifts – the plan is to run these in slots so everyone gets to enjoy the day.  If you are interested, please let Adrian know either by email Adrian0459@btinternet.com or text – 07887715874.

With the season having drawn to a close, it is heartening that there have been no disciplinary charges brought against our players, supporters and members. Long may that continue. Unfortunately, the good discipline seen at Millwall has not always been replicated elsewhere.

The Chair of the Essex County RFU disciplinary committee has recently written to clubs to warn the touchline behaviour in the county has reached an all-time low. All clubs have been put on notice that any instance of behaviour that bring the club into disrepute will be dealt with most severely, whether at youth or adult level. League points deductions and bans from cup competitions are likely to follow.

It is therefore essential that all of us at Millwall continue to embody the core rugby values of teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline and sportsmanship, and not rise to any bad behaviour on the part of opposing spectators.

Clubhouse open from 17.30 on Friday 08/04.  A last minute volunteer has stepped forward to open the bar on Friday night for all of you looking forward to a quiet* drink or a cheeky daiquiri.

Battersea Ladies v Venus. KO 14.30
 
*peace not guaranteed, it will be Ed opening.

Basildon 67 – Millwall 10

Although a more competitive game than the previous weekend, we definitely missed some of the more experienced players in both defence and attack.  Basildon used the chances they had worked for well. 

Thanks to Basildon for what was as a supporter a good afternoon out, we were well fed and made very welcome.

The clubhouse will be closed this weekend, giving our bar volunteers a much-needed rest as the club gears up for England v ROW day. 

If you are interested in participating in the adults games on 23rd April, please contact the applicable chair – menschair@millwallrugby.com or ladieschair@millwallrugby.com.
