How the first part of the season has flown by, but as the mornings have become darker/colder and with the nights drawing in, we have now reached that time of year when I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas. The season so far has seen our 1st XV kick off their London 1 South campaign in a positive way and the rest of the senior club competing well in some tough leagues. Our newly formed Womens' team is improving with every game and the girls conveyor belt remains strong with great numbers across the 13s/15s/18s with 123 girls registered at the club from the age of 8. This is a terrific achievement in a short space of time and has been a great addition to the wider club. The Juniors and Minis continue to develop well with players being selected for representative honours across the board.

I would like to thank all our members, with huge thanks to those who volunteer to support the infrastructure at Dartfordians, which enables so many to enjoy the game of rugby union.

Please have a good break and have a great, relaxing time with family/friends and see you all again the 2019.....

Over the Xmas period the One In the Eye Cup will take place on 29.12.18 if anyone fancies a post Turkey run out or just some fresh air to watch the match....

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Jarrod
