Results on the gaijin 10s tournament

Hi everyone,
quite a rainy day today but we did well in the gaijin 10s tournament.
With three cancelations on Saturday, we were only 11 people showing up at the field, including Simon who had to ref 2 more games. Games were 2 halves of 10 min so everybody got a good run. Here are the results:
– AFRC beat Gaijin southern hemisphere 3 tries to 1
– AFRC lost vs Cru 1 try to 0
– AFRC lost vs Gaijin Northern hemisphere 4 tries to 1
Cru won the tournament, winning all their games. Gaijin South and North came 2nd ex aequo and AFRC 4rth because we got 4 tries in the last game.

2 things:
– training does matter, we really improved compare to 2 months ago, let s keep on like this.
– everybody was tired for the last game because there was no substitutes basically. Attendance and recruiting are the 2 pilars for our next wins.

Next week is the Shuto 10s, this is the last event before vacation, we have the skills to do something so I would like to see a big turnout.
I will send the details on Monday.

Music Festival at the French Institute this Sunday 21th

Hi boys,
a little short notice but if you are free this Sunday the 21th, the French Institute is organizing the “Fete de la Musique” = Music Fiesta = 音楽祭り and an AFRC reprensentation would be appreciated.
What you need to do:
– arrive at 11 am to put some tables together
– from 12am to 8 pm: serve some drinks and food for the guests and also for yourself (especially for yourself), talk to the ladies and listen to music.
The idea is to get some people to join AFRC, show that we are here (if possible, wear a jersey), and maybe get some money for the club while drinking for free.

You don’t have to stay for the entire set. I have 1 or 2 person ready to go, a small crew of five would be perfect.
Send me a mail ASAP or give me a call.

AFRC program until September

Hi all,
good game last Sunday, we showed some aggressivity but took a lot of tries on counter attacks or 3rd attacks. This needs to be worked at the training, but only if some people are actually coming. Last week, there were only 6 people, let’s be there tonight http://strug.d2.r-cms.jp/location_detail/id=1 , if the skies allow us.
Here is the program until sept:
– 28 of June: friendly 10s tournament vs 2 Gaijins teams and Cru
– 5th of July: Shuto 10s tournament
– 12th of July: France national day: I would need a squad to make and sell some food/drinks at the party
– break (trainings are still running)
– beginning of Sept.: start of the Shuto League, THE competition for AFRC.

See you soon.
