each age group to reach me by Sunday 9th May latest :-
Players Player of the Year
Coaches Player of the Year
Most Improved Player of the Year
I would also ask, at mini's level only, for a nomination for
in respect to a player that exemplifies what the whole game
and club is about i.e. sportsmanship, effort, teamwork,
support for the club (fund raising etc), with a brief
reasoning why it is deemed warranted, such that a Club
Player of the Year might be awarded.
Date for the Presentation Day is Sunday 23rd May and will
take the same format as last year:-
10.30 to 12.00 Minis presentation
Overview of the year by the coaches for each age group
Most Improved Player of the Year at all age groups
ditto Players player of the Year at all age groups
ditto Coaches Player of the Year
Finally, Minis DRFC Player of the Year (if awarded)

The day is a Club event and

the accomplishments of the section as a whole.

Junior Colts, Tom Summerscales 2nd row / back row, Shane
Purcell prop/hooker, Rob Beeston prop, Max Argyle back row,
Callan Watson Wing and Jim Wigglesworth Centre / full back.

both NLD tries scored by Callan Watson. On Wednesday 23rd
September the NLD U18s play Leicestershire U18s at Syston in

Match
Update: NLD U18s 6 - 17 Leicestershire U18s. Derby
represented by Tom Summerscales (capt), Max Argyle, Rob
Beeston, Shane Purcell, Jim Wigglesworth and Callan Watson.
NLD basically failed to take their chances to score whereas
Leicestershire took the few chances that came their way and
capitalised. NLD were not helped by Callan Watson being
injured in the warm up and couldn't play whilst the team
lost 3 players with concussion during the game plus a neck
injury and a shoulder injury, quite a battle as you can see!
