Another quick one!
Had a great training session with the boys this afternoon, just went
over some basic tactics. They seem
pretty fit and I don’t expect them to have any problem at the District Championships
tomorrow, although I am a bit concerned about their tackling… but at least the
fitness problem is out of the way.
Same issues still exist regarding motivation, and I feel like probably
it was my responsibility to sort this out… but god knows I’ve tried! Some key players didn’t show to
training this week, and Waweru and I decided not to chase after them too much,
although it is a bit of a shame, there are a couple of key guys missing, seems
like some of them straight failed to report to school! I guess rugby is not that important to
them, although I fear there might be some other dynamic that I am not getting.
Good news to report, we are registered to the Black Rock tournament which will be a huge boost to Malindi Rugby in general! We have been dying for some stiff
up-country competition and I plan on sending the young guys and some key senior
players up for that (too bad for the guys who haven’t been showing up for
training! :)). Also, I was finally put in
touch with some key people in Nairobi working with the KRU (Mssrs Gregory Sang
and “Tank” Otieno). Really hoping
that finally we can get somewhere with this registering of the Club in Malindi
issue!
By the way, if anyone feels like chipping in to help finance
some of the small costs for the Black Rock Tournament that would be great!
(especially if there might be a school that could host us and maybe play a
friendly with us on the Sunday!! )
Up Malindi Rugby!
