OUR RUGBY VALUES
TEAMWORK
Teamwork is essential to our sport. We welcome all new team members and include all because working as a team enriches our lives. We play selflessly: working for the team, not for ourselves alone, both on and off the field. We take pride in our team, rely on one another and understand that each player has a part to play. We speak out if our team or sport is threatened by inappropriate words or actions.
RESPECT
Mutual respect forms the basis of our sport. We hold in high esteem our sport, its values and traditions and earn the respect of others in the way we behave. We respect our match officials and accept their decisions. We respect opposition players and supporters. We value our coaches and those who run our clubs and treat clubhouses with consideration.

Spirits were further dampened by the news that their star thumper, Steve “bulldog” Isaacs had torn a calf muscle in training and that the amateur Guilfordians medical team’s advice to stand on one leg and drink lots of beer had failed to heal it in time. So, one man down.
The first group to arrive at a sun drenched and hot Sali.....More
