June saw the welcome return of rugby at Harborne, as players old and new dusted off their boots and got stuck into pre-season training. It's been fantastic seeing familiar faces again, as well as welcoming plenty of newcomers keen to get involved.

The last few weeks have been all about building fitness, sharpening skills, and boosting our rugby knowledge. Sessions have been lively, energetic, and focused, making sure we're fully prepared for the exciting season ahead.

All this hard work is building towards our first big test: a full-squad pre-season match away at Stafford RFC on Saturday, 9th August. It's an opportunity for everyone to put training into practice and kick off the season on a high.

Training continues twice a week, every Monday and Wednesday evening at Westhills Playing Field from 7 pm until 8:30 pm. Whether you're a seasoned player or completely new to the game, everyone is welcome, and training is completely free.

We're actively recruiting and always looking for fresh talent to join our squad. So, if you're interested in playing rugby, getting fit, or simply meeting new people, Harborne Rugby is the place to be.

See you on the pitch!
