Pre-Entry Quiz...

Preparation for the Season Ahead..

Before entering the Colts League we suggest you look inward and ask the following questions of your Whole Team (Managers, Coaches, Players, and Parents). If the answers add up to a positive YES then we look forward to receiving your entry for next season.

Please be realistic. Answer these questions truthfully and fully consider the implications or you may end up entering the Colts League improperly prepared for next season !!

If your answers don't add up perhaps you should seriously consider a joint effort by combining your age-groups at Senior U18 Colts.

Amalgamated Teams from two different neighbouring Clubs have also proven successful.

Make sure you have the full backing of your Senior Club Committee for Colts Rugby. They can often help you, and know that investing in the Colts has secured the future of many Clubs throughout the North West. Don't be afraid to ask them for help !!

REMEMBER... to put the date of the AGM in your diary NOW !!
NB: There are sanctions for non-attendance.
