Mighty start to the season for Walsall RFC

With two fantastic league wins over Ludlow last week and this weekend with a 31-29 smashing of Worcester Warriors Walsall are heading up the Midlands 1 (West) table. The young talented squad are putting in some fantastic performances and as of yet have not had to call the veteran Wilkinson into the squad to add some bobbing and weaving and daisy-chain making....

How to make a great Ad - with Year 8!

Really enjoyed my day with the Year 8's at Handsworth Grammar School last week. As part of their Citizenship Week one component was to create an Ad to sell the school - we enjoyed a few ideas and shared some thoughts on "creative" approaches and media. The winning team will be visiting OWB to see their advertisement being created by the team.
Mike's opening slide depicted Oakley Wilkinson Bryan perfectly and got them all thinking from the off....

Cannot help but think "What if..."

What if...Sam Warburton hadn't made that tackle, what if......Leigh Halfpenny had another yard in the tank and what if the Welsh had been there tomorrow ah well c'est la vie......however in support of our great French Agency partners in Eluere and Dagre we are hoping for a ripper of a game and a full-blooded contest and the French defy the critics.
May the best team wins ALLEZ les bleus..or noirs....or bleus...or noirs...
