Pre-season training starts on 27th of July
All, I am happy to announce that the pre-season is going to start officially on 27th of July. We have managed to convince an amazing person, James Wakefield, to help us with the pre-season until we will hire a coach. This is great news as James is extremely experienced and has such a great approach to people! Let's make an effort and show in large numbers :) Also, James is happy to hear from us if we have any suggestions in regards to what we want to work on. I said to start with basics. Also, Matt (men's coach) is going to send some training suggestions over. I am very optimistic and can't wait to start!
Last thing, although there is no official session on Monday, I am planning to come to the park to do the fitness with the fitness group so please join us at 6:30pm if you fancy some light training.

Monday 7:30pm (mixed men & women fitness) [no official session on 25th of July]

Venus training with the Team GB girls again
The weather was not inviting but we went to Clapham anyway to take part
in the RFU training session and very glad we did. They began with some
passing techniques in a session led by the England girls, one of whom
didn't take up rugby till a bit later on in life (so there's still hope
for some of us) and then worked the session up into some game playing
skills; we are proudly sporting some of the marks of that today. It was
very cool to not only meet with some girls new to the game but also to
rub shoulders with the elite. Jodie

Training session with the GB team girls!
What an evening with Sarah McKenna and Amy Wilson-Hardy, England & Team GB girls!
We have arrived at Regent's Park just around 6:30pm and immediately started the training. There supposed to be 3 sessions of 45 min but we end up having one long sessions until 9pm. While Edna was playing touch game, Rosie, Charley, Hannah and me, started with the GB girls. We were also waiting for Anna who got lost in the park. She end up on the soft ball pitch and found herself an hour later!;) Edna joined us after the touch. We also met some of our old friends from Kilburn Cosmos or Haringey. It was loads of fun and such a great opportunity! Sarah and Amy are soooo talented and so impressive. It was extremely inspirational. We also hand out some of our leaflets and agreed with Haringey for some social day in the nearest future!
If you wonder, what do you need to do to have some guns like Amy.. well, they are being contracted by RFU, the girls, not the guns ;) and they have trainings every day all day... :D

Venus vs Barnes - Millwall Park
Venus lost 52 v 0 at home today vs Barnes Ladies.
It was a well played game with Venus dominating the scrums and line outs. There were a few breakaway tries by the opposition which made the difference to the score line in what was actually a close game.

Venus Training - Mixed training tonight is CANCELLED
Due to the blustery weather and the difficulty putting our training lights up safely in the wind, we've decided to CANCEL tonight's mixed training session.
The clubhouse will also be closed for the lines to be cleaned, so enjoy a night off.... or hit the gym instead!

Venus Monday & Wednesday Night Training
At Millwall we're making some slight changes to training on Monday & Wednesday nights. These changes mainly concern the men's section.
Women who are complete beginners are still welcome to attend on either Monday or Wednesday nights or both.
Our Monday night session is mixed with the men and will be non-contact touch rugby and fitness. The Wednesday sessions will be contact sessions as usual.

Kilburn v Millwall Venus (38 - 25) Match Report 12th Sep 2015
Millwall Venus travelled to Kilburn Cosmos Rugby Club this Saturday grabbing a cheeky pre-match photo opportunity with the Webb Ellis cup!
Venus were switched on before they even walked out onto the pitch. And they absolutely dominated it. The game was played 70% in the opposition’s half and we held possession for the majority. The rugby skills – rucking, mauling and tackling – were tremendous. Venus had an outstanding game. Each and every player, played their heart out and should be extremely proud of themselves!
The forwards dominated the opposition with destructive tackles and strong rucks, which left several of the opposition players on the floor wondering what had happened.
Amanda Huddleson demonstrated new-found confidence starting her second season as scrum half, dictating play and organising her pack. Jo Sicler did herself proud as captain of the team, managing her backs well – always keeping them onside, in attacking/defensive lines, always ready for the next play.
Tries galore from Venus throughout the match, with Edna Schweizer’s powerful speed resulting in a hat-trick and Zainab Alema demonstrating great strength in her debut appearance; forcing her way through several players over the try-line.
Tammy Saunders and Emma Probyn played their first ever game of rugby fantastically, reading the opposition’s tactics to our advantage. Putting in key runs which created space and momentum for our try scorers and resulting in Tammy earning back of the match. Forward of the match went to Harry Heard.
All players had great enthusiasm and communication throughout a tough game. If it weren’t for the breakaway tries from the opposition, there is no doubt that this would have been a Venus victory. The final score certainly did not reflect the efforts of the team and all team members should feel proud of their performance in the first match of the season.
