MARTIN PLUMMER
Welcome to Carlisle Rugby Club and season 2018 / 2019 at level 6; I am truly honoured to represent your club President for a second year.
Rugby at our level can be very bitter sweet with players who have been nurtured, and significantly invested in from six years old, and then leaving us at various stages to play at a higher level. This we know is inevitable and part of the stepping stone process for those involved to achieve their ambitions.
In recent years I have had these very discussions with exceptionally talented rugby players like Joe Graham, Matt Charters, Chris Harris, and Gary Graham to mention but a few. All of these lads will tell you our message was very clear; take every op- portunity that comes your way, go with our full support and blessing and achieve everything you possibly can. I do however always ask these Carlisle developed rugby gems not to be strangers, to return in one form or another and pass on their knowledge and skill base attained at the higher levels of the game to their playing colleagues at Carlisle RFC.
I was delighted to welcome back Max Connon as a player coach last season and this season to welcome back Matt Shields as our new head coach and Max’s brother Grant, along with Chris Auld, all having played their age grade rugby at Carlisle. They will bring a refreshing professional element to our amateur environment in which all involved will benefit from greatly.
I must also thank those players that have had the opportunity to play at the afore mentioned higher level but have remained playing with our club, last season’s club captain, Tom Graham turned down requests from other clubs to move to the higher level, but stayed to captain our senior XV; his sacrifice, commitment and loyalty and that of others is very much appreciated.
There is a real positive buzz at training and around the club in anticipation of the new season with players, coaches and sup- porters excited about the campaign ahead.
Our ladies are training hard and their section continues to build, increasing their numbers and going from strength to strength. Long may this continue and the club is 100% behind all their efforts.
The volunteers, both coaches and administrative staff within our various age grade groups continue to perform at a staggering level of commitment and enthusiasm. Their time and effort continues to build and strengthen the rugby foundations of our great club and ensure they are as solid and strong as they have ever been. Without those volunteers our young players would not get the very best start to their rugby careers. There are not enough words of thanks I can express to all those involved that appropriately convey my, and the clubs appreciation, for everything they do for our young boys and girls. Thank you so, so much.
Our aim is to ensure rugby is played by everyone who wants to be involved at every level. We aim to help all players achieve the very best they can. We would like to sustain rugby for the communities of Carlisle and the surrounding areas in a safe en- joyable environment. Thank you all for supporting your club, taking the time to visit and enjoy with us all what will be an en- joyable and successful season.
Finally, I regret that I won’t be able to make all our matches; I still have work demands, and I do a spot of refereeing. I hope you will understand, but there is a severe shortage of those taking up refereeing— so if there is anyone else out there who feel they make a valuable contribution in that area of the game, you know what to do! MARTIN PLUMMER.

ON A GOOD DAY, A GOOD RESULT
Carlisle were looking to improve on last weeks performance against Broughton Park, as they travelled to Elles- mere to take on newly promoted Anselmians. Our last encounter was a few seasons ago, and much has hap- pened to both sides since then. Anselmians have found things tough in this league, but Carlisle were not taking anything for granted in this match, and were keen to make sure there were no lapses or slip ups in their quest for a win.
The visitors started well and with barely a few minutes on the clock, fly half Grant Connon, broke out from deep and drawing the last defender, slipped a pass to winger Ben Purdham to jog in for an easy opening try, convert- ed by Connon. Keeping the pressure up on the home side, Carlisle put a penalty deep into the home side's ter- ritory, and from the resulting lineout, the opportunity was presented for Carlisle to create a rolling maul, that put Christian White under the posts for the second Carlisle try.
Anselmians quickly responded though, as a penalty awarded against Carlisle for driving up in the scrum, was rewarded with 3 points to narrow the gap a little to 14-3. It didn't take long though for Carlisle to secure their third try when Connon, ghosted through a gap in the de-fence and beat the Anselmian fullback on the outside to cross for a well deserved try, which he converted. Carlisle though were continuously getting pinged in the scrum, and a change in tightheads seemed the best option to settle things down. Clearly an aspect of play that Carlisle will have to work on!
It seemed to do the trick as just over the half hour mark, after a ruck in the home 22m, Captain Henry Wain- wright strolled through a gap in the Anselmians defence, to secure the try bonus point . The last play of the half gave Connon another chance to extend the lead for Carlisle, after some good work at the breakdown by cen- tre Jason Israel to secure the penalty, but his long range attempt just drifted wide, and the half ended 28-3 to Carlisle.
Withe barely a few minutes gone of the second half, Carlisle further extended their lead, and all but killed the game off, as another clean break by Connon, put Purdham into acres of space to canter in for his second and Carlisle's fifth try.
Whether Carlisle got complacent, or Anselmians sheer persistence paid off, the home side grabbed a quick reply to this from the restart, to get their first converted try of the day. This gave the home side some heart and at times they looked dangerous on the attack, forcing Carlisle to quickly scramble their defences to keep them at bay. In fact Anselmians had a lot of possession and territory in the first 20minutes of the second half, but weren't able to convert that into much more. Perhaps they were try-ing too hard, when an attack down the right, was intercepted by winger Shaw Lorimer-Bell, who took the chance to bag an opportunistic try to extend Carlisle's lead further.
Although Anselmians caught Carlisle cold at the restart and quickly replied with their second of the day, that would be the last score of the day. With a number of injuries causing Carlisle to rejig lineups, it broke their flow somewhat, and they struggled to reproduce the form shown in the first half. That said all the replacements played their part in the side running out deserved winners at 42-17.
Anselmians kept the Carlisle defence honest in the second half, and the visitors had to be on their toes to en- sure the home side didn't reduce the deficit further. However Carlisle were up to that task, and although the second half didn't deliver the same performance as the first, this was a much improved performance from previ- ous games. Fly half Grant Connon was a deserved Man of the Match for Carlisle, and created a lot of opportu- nities for the visitors to exploit.
There is now a 2 week break, which will allow some bodies to heal, before we take on Warrington at home on the 13th October RUGBY FOR THE WEEK v WARRINGTON AHEAD RFU NORTH ONE WEST

Ben Blain reaches another milestone! TOKYO ADVENTURES & EPCR CHALLENGE CUP Ben Blain continues to rise up the refereeing ladder He has recently returned from a two game referee exchange to Japan. The country which hosts the 2019 Rugby World Cup exchanges referees annually with the SRU. Ben was mainly based in Tokyo but officiated games in the cities of Sendai and Yamaguchi. The Japan Top League represents the high- est level of club rugby in Japan and this season attracts major names includ- ing All Black Dan Carter and Australians Adam Ashley Cooper, Matt Giteau and David Pocock.
Looking in to the autumn, and particularly next weekend, the EPCR fixtures and referee appointments have recently been announced. Ben has been appointed to take charge of ASM Clermont Auvergne Vs Timisoara Saracens in Round 2 at the famous Stade Marcel Michelin. The Top 14 French club is littered throughout the squad with major French international superstar names including; Wesley Fofana, Morgan Parra, Damien Chouly and Rabah Slimani. Other names a bit closer to home include Scotland's Greg Laidlaw and former Bath player Nick Abendonan. The experience of running out in front of potentially a packed house and 20,000 spectators at this season's Top 14 leaders is likely to be fantastic! The game is scheduled for Saturday 20 October and KOs at 3pm. No doubt you can follow his progress more closely by tuning in to the match!
Cougars conversation…….. It has been a great start to the season for the Cougars and last Sun- day they travelled to Leigh to play their third game of the season un- sure of what to expect from the newcomers to the league. Some trav- el delays meant a short warm up and the Cougars didn’t have long to get switched on and stuck in. A disappointing first 20 minutes gave away three tries and had the opposition 19-0 in the lead. But grit and determination from the ladies saw a remarkable turnaround putting the pressure on with 7 tries scored, 1 conversion and a penalty try given. Final score, a hard fought, Carlisle Cougars 44 – 19 Leigh. Try scorers: Kim Fitzmaurice (1), Katherine Clarke (1), Tamsin Smith (1), Hannah Sherlock (1) and Hannah Farrell (3). For- ward of the match went to Kate Barron; back of the match went to Hannah Sherlock. Training this week the team has worked on putting pressure on from the first kick and building defence around the ruck in preparation for their next game tomorrow, away against Crewe & Nantwich, where they hope to remain unde- feated in the league. It will be tough, as Crewe are the current pacesetters on point ahead of the Cougars! A big thank you to all our PLAYER SPONSORS for the 2018 19 season.

Carlisle RFC
Season 2018 - 2019 A RA R B
The RFU have recently reorganised the administration of junior and youth rugby throughout the land. Rugby under 17 is know known as Age Grade Rugby, and here at Carlisle RFC we have teams at every age group from under 7 to under 16. Each group has it’s own coaching and ad- ministration team.
Generally training, coaching and matches take place on a Sunday but with some of older groups also meeting in the early evening on mid week nights.
Throughout the season there is a varied programme of rugby played against other teams in Cumbria and wider afield, including the north east, Lancashire and Scotland. Games are played either on a friendly basis, in county cup competitions or in festivals, with the latter becoming more fashionable.
Children of all ages and abilities are most welcome to join our ranks and enjoy the friendship that our great game engenders. If you have any children, or know of friends with boys or girls that would like to participate in a great team sport then you can contact one of the following, or just turn up most Sunday mornings.
It is a fact that that almost all of our current senior rugby squad began their rugby career through junior rugby here at Warwick Road, progressing from Age Grade Rugby and then through our Colts XV’s. There have been some notable personal achievements in recent years, and currently there are three former Carlisle lads featuring at Kingston Park with Newcas- tle Falcons - Chris Harris and two of the Graham brothers.

Rugby for women and girls is becoming increasingly popular and here at Carlisle RFC active par- ticipation is actively encouraged. After a few lean years the Cougars XV are rapidly improving and showing signs of going from strength to strength. Numbers wanting to play are on the up. Games for Carlisle Cougars are normally played on a Sunday with the odd match scheduled on a Saturday..
Interested, then contact one of the following who will be pleased to hear from you and encourage your participation:

A PLEA FROM THE REFEREE’S SOCI T
The Cumbria RFU Referee’s Society need more men, women, and young people to come for- ward and referee to help ensure that our great Game continues to flourish. So many get great enjoyment from playing rugby; many go on to help with coaching and administration when their playing career is over, but few actually take up the whistle.
Refereeing is an essential element to the future success of rugby and the society are keen to en- courage as many as possible to put their knowledge of the Game to good use and officiate at matches at all levels..
There is a shortage of volunteers due to variety of reasons; age catches up and perhaps they are not quite as fit and fast as they once were. Then there are those who decided to call it a day because of the sometimes intolerable conduct that they are subjected to by players, offi cial’s and spectators. All forms of abuse are to be condoned in the strongest possible terms.
Quite often nowadays the Cumbria Society have to rely on the Northern Federation to supply a referee for league matches in the county, and that should not have to be the case. Putting back into the game after a playing career is over can be equally rewarding. Then there are those who make it their chosen pathway in the game. Carlisle RFC probably provide more referees in the county than any other club. One of them, Ben Blain, set his stall out to make refereeing his main contribution to the well being of rugby. As we go to press (September 2018), he is in Japan with his coach, Dave Pearson (a former international & World Cup referee), officiating in a couple of games and taking part in a seminar. On the way home he stops off in Paris to take charge of a game there. The re is no limit if you put your mind to it.
Please think seriously about refereeing and if interested contact:

RESPECT FOR THE REFEREE & MATCH OFFICIALS
Without the referee and other match officials we would not be able to enjoy our day at the match. Please afford them due respect at all times. Like the players, they will make mistakes but that should not be a signal for verbal or other abuse to be directed at them. For the main part, they too are volun- teers hoping to have an enjoyable game officiating in the Game we all love.
We will deal severely with anyone who breaches the Code of Respect. PLA THE MAT H TO A SAT R A
