Sunday 10/04

Battersea Ladies 60 (ish)  v Venus 5

Although the score line may not suggest it entirely this was a better outing for the Venus than their previous encounter.  Some good runs of play plus a try by Jess Wilson (and overall less pain) saw Millwall Women come away from the encounter from a strong side in good spirits. Thanks to Streatham Croydon for loaning us players.

End of Season Dinner Tickets now available- All aboard for the HMS Belfast on 18/06.

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.
