I hope all visiting players and supporters enjoy their day at the home of Medway RFC. Tottonians have a well-deserved reputation of being fantastic hosts to visiting clubs and I really hope we all endeavour to try to match their famous hospitality. Contractors Limited Totts have experienced an indifferent start to the season and currently lie eleventh in the league table. However, closer examination shows that they have registered losing bonus points (for finishing within 7 points) in five out of eight of their losses showing that they have been extremely competitive in most games. Our own form took a bit of a dive last week at Westcombe Park where we never really got into the game and were well beaten on the day. So, for today’s encounter, our boys will be keen to get back to winning ways whereas the boys from Hampshire will be going all out to avenge too many narrow losses with an impressive away win. I am pleased to report that although early days, the club house improvements seem to be having an effect and we have seen a sharp increase in private hires for parties and other meetings etc. Our financial position has steadily stabilised after the extension costs and we are now confident to press ahead with the procurement of some new bar furniture. Lead times are quite long so unfortunately this may not arrive before Xmas. Next week, Saturday 1st December, we are holding the past players lunch before the league game against Brighton. Now that we have more space in the extended clubhouse, we have decided that we will open up the invitation to other club members and guests who would like to attend this great social gathering. Please do group together with your friends and come along to enjoy the lunch, the game and possibly the start of Xmas festivities! Please contact myself or Jez Saxby to reserve your place. In addition, please note that we are holding a Xmas lunch before the Dartfordians game on the 15th The complete building service December – contact Mark Marriott to reserve your place. I hope everyone enjoys their time at Medway RFC today.
