Captain's Log - August 2008
Hi All !!!
With the new season starting now, our heads are held high,
we lions want to make this our best and most successful season yet!
But we want you rugby fans to come down and play! If you are from the age of 8- 17 and are as mad about rugby as we are, no matter how big, small, unfit or inexeperinced you are,
we want you involved!
All are coaches are very kind and understanding as well as the players.
They can help you individualy, as they have done with myself and others, to work on developing your skills and abilities.
Simply turn up and train, or if you are a little shy, you are more than welcome to bring a friend with you - the more the merrier!.
Or you could get in touch with me via email on simplyrugby@hotmail.com and I'll be happy to introduce you to the coaches and other players.
As the pre-season has now officialy started, we urge all players to begin dragging your friends down to training. There's talk of even rewarding players for training attendance, so keep your ears peeled for that one!
If you haven't received your membership and registration forms yet - get in touch with Matt on youthchair@millwallrugby.com because you wont be able to play any matches without being registered!
Our biggest aim this year is to really put 110% into the competitions we enter to build as big a reputation as possible, not only for ourselves but for the whole club.
Us senior players also have to focus on getting the younger players more involved and prepared for the big leagues before we graduate to adult rugby - some as soon as next season!
On behalf of the players I just want to say a big thanks to the coaches and team managers - as well as Matt, our Youth Chair and Pat, our Welfare officer - for all the hard work they have put in already and we haven't even played our first match yet!
Good luck to you all, and have a great start to what is hoped to be a great season!!!
Let us all go out there and show everyone, the true, Millwall lions Roar !

Captain's Log - July 2008
Hi and welcome to another exciting year at the Millwall Lions!
As some of you may know, there are many changes taking part this year such as the older players (including me) moving into the under 17's team, which is a big step, but should only be seen as just another challenge and with the help and organisation of Head Coach - Chris Davis and New Team Manager Alistair Jardine, I have no doubt, as we enter the new season, we will succeed.
However the under 17's are not the only piece of good news this season, as we have much to hope for with our under 11's with head coach Gary Mcglauhlin and team manager Sara Edmead as they plan to build a new team for the future at Millwall.
Also, New U13's Head Coach - John Edwards has the challenge of upping the anti of the under 13's and in seeing they get to where they need to be through out the year.
But I actually think one of the biggest roles goes to U15's Head coach - Scott Vinnicombe and Team Manager - Sandra Timothy, because they have the task of getting the under 15's prepared to step everything up a gear as they slowley begin to move into the under 17's, which for most of us in the under 17's at the moment, is a daunting task.
Through the efforts of Youth Chair - Matt Shorrock, along side Vice Chair - Leigh Blinman, Welfare Officer - Pat Salmon and Fixture Secretary - Mike Beech we are looking for a big year in the Millwall Lions section of Millwall Rugby club. With out all these people, none of the new season preperations could work, so there is a special thanks in order.
Good luck to everyone in the new season. Let us all go out there and show everyone, the true, Millwall lions Roar !
