Another Paviors U15’s Girl Called up to East Midland Squad (19-04-08)

On the 16th March the East Midland Squad traveled to Slough to play Thames Valley in a Regional match. With four girls from Paviors already in the squad, the East Midlands found themselves short of a prop for this game. The coaches asked if Paviors could provide and without hesitation we sent Alex Penniecook a long to help support the team. Alex in her first regional match and not having trained with the squad, gave an outstanding display of rugby. The Regional coaches were that impressed that they have now asked Alex to join the regional squad making 5 x Paviors Girls in the Squad of 20. Well Done Alex.

At one stage we had 4 of the 5 girls on the park for the Regional team (can’t wait till all 5 get on in one go) to help the East Midlands win their second match. Which is two more than last year. Final Result: -

East Midlands 20 (1st Regional try for Olivia Bell)            Thames Valley 5

Girls U15 Reach Semi-Final of National Cup (24-Feb-08)
As we have said many times, this is the first season for Paviors U15's Girls and as they train hard and play games they continue to impress not only the Coaching staff but other clubs as well.
Sunday saw them in the 1st round of the National Competition, this is a league format for each area and we came under the whole of the Midlands region. With 3 x games to play in the one day we started of by playing Sleaford the team we had played the week before in a friendly and won.
 
This was a different matter and Sleaford had strengthened their team with players from Goole and Newark. This didn't stop the girls hard work and with good defence we held them out an scoring our own tries making it 15 - 0 to Paviors at full time.

The second game saw them against Burfield with well over half their side playing for the West Midlands Regional team it was going to be a hard game. The girls played fantastic and no one on the touch line could believe the pressure we put them under and camped nearly the whole game in their 22 with out scoring. However the Final whistle went and we drew 0 - 0.

Onto the final game saw us up against Oundle a team made up of Kettering and other clubs with 5 x East Midland Players and 4 West Midland players in the side. We started well and was soon on the score board, with us keeping an eye on the other game we new we had to win by a big score as Burfield ran tries in against Sleaford on the pitch to our side. The girls continued the pressure and we came out on top winning 26 - 0.
 
The whole day had been long and tiring but the girls played outstanding not conceding one try against them in the whole tournament.

So onto the final scores both Paviors and Burfield had WON 2 and DRAWN 1, it was all down to the try count PAVIORs 7 - Burfield 5. So PAVIORs win the league and go forward to the Semi-final as the Midland Champions to be played on the 30th March 2008. We will keep you all informed of their progress.

Finally, Here is Huw with Martin Johnson of Leicester.


Paviors U15’s Girls (L to R: Olivia Bell, Samantha Green, Jenny Maxwell, Bethany James) played a big part in the East Midlands win over the North West 26 -7 on Sunday 10th February 2008 at Melton Mowbray. This was the first time the U15’s had beaten the North West for over 2 years. All four girls played outstanding and helped them successfully defeat the North West:

This was a clean sweep for all the East Midlands Girls Sides, the Seniors winning 21 -14 with help from an old Paviors girl and Coach at Paviors Cathy Burke. The U18’s were comfortable winners, winning 55 – 5 with outstanding Performances from Paviors Girls Hannah Walker – Smart (Captain for the day) Fran Eggleshaw (Forwards captain) and Holly Blackhurst.

The next round for the East Midlands sees the Seniors Play the South West (Away) on Sunday 9th March 2008, and the U15’s & U18’s Play Thames Valley (Away) on Sunday 16th March 2008. We wish all the Paviors Girls well in their success.



Please find attached a list of members who to date have not paid their Senior Club Membership. This is in spite of personal requests and website announcements.
This money is now 5 months overdue and the individuals listed should feel ashamed.
Being a fully paid up member of Paviors RFC is something to be proud of and this list will be a topic of discussion at selection every week from now on.

The 2007 Paviors Xmas Draw this year raised a very welcome £1,700 for the club. We would like to thank all those involved in making this such a worthwhile event, especially those who contributed prizes, sold or bought tickets and not least of all our President Phil Molyneux for all his efforts.

"Geordie" Gregg Robinson, a familiar face in Paviors 2nd XV, accidently broke his leg and ankle on Saturday 5th January playing for his home club's 1st XV in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Gregg has been with Paviors for almost 4 years since he arrived at Nottingham Trent University to study Surveying.

Gregg was due to undergo surgery today to have pins fitted and said "He is unlikely to be unavailable for selection until the beginning of next season". We would all like to wish him well in his recovery and look forward to seeing him back up at the club as a spectator in the coming weeks.

It reminds of that old favourite "The Leg on the Tyne is all mine all mine, the Leg on the Tyne is all mine..."

SUPPORT FROM NEW SPONSOR

Paviors RFC are delighted to welcome Symphony Windows, Doors & Conservatories Ltd as a Premium Sponsor of the Club.

Although based in Norfolk Managing Director Nick Coupe has strong links with Nottingham and he recently watched England’s valiant effort to win the World Cup up at the Club. He and his partner are both ‘Rugby Men’ and only committed themselves to Paviors on the back of our strong tradition of upholding the traditional values of this wonderful game.

Below is a little information about the company. You can learn more by visiting their web site at www.symphonywindows.com

Symphony Windows Limited was formed in 1998 and we have built our success around the philosophy of being flexible to respond to clients needs, together with an enlightened approach to problem solving.
We pride ourselves on completing projects quickly, efficiently and to a high standard of workmanship, which combined with a non-adversarial approach, ensures each scheme is completed on time, within budget and in a manner that turns the whole process into a rewarding experience for all concerned.

Now considered a large commercial installation operation, often installing in excess of five hundred frames a week, it has been essential that all areas of the business have been able to cope with this expansion and for that reason the company sought and gained total quality service backed by BS EN ISO 9001:2001 accreditation. Couple this with our excellent safety record, together with a reliable, pro-active and motivated approach to work as can be expected of a forward thinking company.

As you would expect, a company listed  on so many local authority approved lists would need to prove and demonstrate its ability to undertake projects within its field and for this reason Symphony secured registration within Constructionline, created and owned by the Department of the Environment, Transport, and the regions.  Following the introduction of part L to the building regulations upgrade, Symphony became a member of FENSA, which enables us to offer our client base the ability to self-certify compliance without the need to obtain building regulations approval. In addition we are included in EXOR listings, a Government body which vets window installers for their capabilities. More recently we have gained the British Standard for fitting/installation of windows and now carry the quality assured Kitemark.

Symphony is proud of the safety track record within the company, which has been brought about by a broad knowledge within the company, supported by an external consultancy that oversee any anomalies which may occur on site. Our workforce is kept fully appraised of risks on site, and any changes to working methods and practical guidelines.

Our thanks to them and to Simon Stirland for brokering this latest sponsorship deal.
