The first mens ladies and U16 matches are this Saturday 7th Jaunary - teams will be up soon.
As the curtain falls on the mixed season it was an amazing achievement for Rogues and Rascals to be in there fighting with an outside chance of the title for Rascals.
In the end it was not to be. Rascals did themselves and the Club proud outperforming Vikings for most of the match in front of a large home crowd comprising parents and senior team players but unfortunately losing 1-2 to two penalty corner strikes. At the other end of the Island by all accounts Rogues were more than a handful for the eventual league winners Castletown (the only club we didn't manage to beat at least once) but eventually went down 3-5.
But the real result is not in the fixtures today or the final league positions it is in the recognition that we have competed two teams in the U16 league ensuring that all of you (of which there were 40, more than any other club) received playing opportunities for the teams throughout the season. The teams were split as equally as could be given that some players also had senior team duties at certain times.
In that context it has been a very successful term and we have seen significant development in individual players. After Christmas some of you will be making your way - well prepared - into the Mens and Ladies senior teams. These will include Jan and Caitlin, who led their respective teams and carried out their duties as captains in exemplary manner. They will make way for the appointment of a new U16 captain, to be announced shortly, to lead the combined "Rogues and Rascals" team (as we shall have just one team then) in the new league which starts in January. We are also delighted to hear that Harlequins will be entering the U16 league for the first time and as a club we will be supporting them with players if needed until they find their own footing.
We hope that you enjoyed this last term as much as we enjoyed coaching you, watching you play and seeing your progression.
Rogues and Rascals forever!
