We wish all the boys the best of luck with their rugby tour to Northern America (Toronto, Philadelphia & New York) and hope they have a fantastic experience!
From Laurence Kresnyak, Chester RFC
We are delighted to be taking Chester U16s touring rugby team to North America. The players have all worked hard to raise funds for the tour, and we expect that the experience will help them see a broader side of both rugby and cultures. We are immensely proud of the team and are sure that all the players will acquit themselves with hard work and good running rugby on the pitch, and good humour and respect off it. The standard of rugby will be high and no doubt competitive and inclusive in equal measures and the lads are really looking forward to meeting and playing the Canadian and American teams. This promises to be a tour and trip of a lifetime for all players, coaches and parents, we are really looking forward to it!

A pre tour message from the Captains
“The countdown to the 2011 France/Switzerland Tour began months ago with daily e-mails from Boyd. Our excitement for this opportunity of a life time has been building with each pre-tour practice we’ve had. We are well aware that the French teams will be experienced, however there is no other way we would rather spend our March break than trying to defeat them.
Starting off in Geneva, the team cannot wait to kick off our tour by practicing under the lights. Eating fondue amongst the Swiss Alps will be one of the highlights of our time in Switzerland we are sure.
We would like to give a big thanks to our parents and coaches for allowing us to partake in this amazing trip. Expect us to return with many memories, pictures and baguettes in hand. We can’t wait!!!”

Over 15 Community squads travelled to Carrington on 25th April for a training session with the professionals. The young players were put through their paces by the Carrington Training staff as their skills were honed and their abilities tested by some of the toughest coaches in the game.
The training sessions are all part of each club’s tour package and one of the many ways in which Sale Community teams benefit from the winning partnership between Sale Sharks and Sports & Corporate Group Travel – Official Travel Sponsors to the whole of Sale’s Community.
From all at Sports & Corporate we would like to congratulate all the teams on a fantastic season and look forward to working with them again next year and in future.

A message from the Captains
As the day of departure approaches, we are all bursting with excitment. All the girls are looking forward to the amazing adventures which lie ahead in the next 2 weeks, particularly St Patrick's Day in Dublin. We look forward to using our passion for rugby to experience a different culture. There is no better or more exciting way to prepare for the upcoming season than with overseas competition which we've never seen before. We're scheduled to see many attractions within Ireland and also some cultural visits in Spain. Our excitment cannot be properly expressed using words, and we can't wait to leave on Saturday! Go Colts!

I am supremely confident that the touring party will acquit themselves admirably as ambassadors and return from South Africa richer for the experience, they say once you have visited the place it somehow never leaves you. I am extremely grateful for the time, support and generosity of so many people, without whom this would have been merely a pipedream. It has been my pleasure and privilege to have been involved with school rugby for nearly a quarter of a century and to be taking fifty senior players on such a tour is a wonderful achievement for all involved.
Well done and good luck to you all, may our school and the game of rugby emerge as victors from the experience.

All our best wishes go with the boys to South Africa. Good Luck and enjoy this amazing experience!

To All at Yorkshire Terriers
Having played through both the amateur and professional game I have seen a huge change in rugby and have taken away many memories from my experiences.
When people ask me what some of the highlights of my career were, I still say that having the opportunity to travel the world playing the game I loved. These will always be some of my most cherished memories.

Whether representing my club or country, I approached each tour the same way: with a determination to enjoy every moment. While schools and clubs play many of the same teams year in and out, going on tour brings a new playing experience.
There are many stories that could be told of my England and club tours, some printable, and some not. If you asked who were my most respected opponents I would always say: all of them, and some of the toughest have been those we faced on tour, simply due to their unpredictability and foreign style of play.
Whenever you are away, remember you are not just representing Yorkshire but your country. This is an honour and a chance very few are fortunate to get.
Enjoy yourselves

The last full day in France, and what a great day it's been! This morning, the girls went to Toulouse's Natural History Museum, which they all loved. The Grade 10 girls even stayed later than everyone else because they were enjoying it so much. After this, everyone grabbed some lunch and headed off to the river cruise we had planned. The cruise was beautiful and a the weather was good, most of the girls lay on the top deck, taking in the great views Toulouse has to offer.
Once the boat cruise was finished, it was dinner time! We ate at a central restaurant named La Boheme. It was quaint and pretty, and the food was delicious; the perfect last dinner of the trip. The Grade 12 girls ate at their own separate table and Chelsea Tannis even stood to give a short speech, thanking the coaches for the wonderful tour.
 
Now everyone is packing their belongings, preparing for the long day ahead of them tomorrow. We're up early for breakfast, heading to the airport at 10am, and then saying au revoir to Francais!

This morning the girls had a training session at Toulouse Cheminots Marengo Sports Club (TCMS), before they were given some free time in the city centre of Toulouse. Some of the girls went for lunch, and others managed to get in some last minute shopping, even on the quiet French Monday (apparently, most stores are closed not only on Sundays, but on Mondays also!).
After lunch, we were back to TCMS for a match against some Toulousian ladies! The match was really good to watch, and I imagine it was also a lots of fun to play. The girls played fantastically and won by a mile, the other team didn't even get a chance to score at all!
Unfortunately, tomorrow is our last full day in France! The girls are planning on going to a museum in the morning in the centre of Toulouse, followed by a boat cruise along the river in the afternoon, let's make it a good one!!
