Training nights have become a hive of activity as the senior squad are joined by players from all levels throughout the club. The 3rd XV have a regular contingent on a Monday night. We would encourage everyone to come down and get a run out. Don’t worry about your physical condition or skill level, even if you have never played before. You will find a level, and perhaps even enjoy getting into shape.

SPECIAL MENTION TO Ards Ladies Mel, Dani, Claire and Lesley for being selected to train with the Ulster Development squad. Well done ladies!

The 17s and 19s are also building their squads. With a large number of last seasons players still to join the respective squads things are looking promising. The 13s and 15s are also building quite a squad and should also prove to be a force to be reckoned with in their league and cup completions.

With this being the Ladies first competitive season in the Ulster Development League, playing against teams from Malone, Letterkenny and Ballyshannon. we are keen to recruit both contact and non-contact players, of youth and senior ages. The team currently spans a wide age and fitness range and the ladies are keen to increase the size of the squad ahead of their first competitive matches. Total beginners are very welcome. As the ladies section was only formed last season you have nothing to worry about. You will soon get the hang of it!

All coaches have been cracking the whip with their respective teams to ensure they are at the peak of physical fitness and prepared physically and mentally for the start of the season. All teams are looking for new players of all levels of fitness and abilities, so if you are interested please contact the club at www.ards-rfc.com The relevant team coaches details can be found on the site,or feel free to come down to a training session.
