BATH RUGBY NEWS Bringing you the latest from the Bath Rugby headquarters
f you want to mark it like Banahan, drop kick it like Dunn and try it like Tom Ellis now’s the chance to learn to play rugby the top flight way. Bath Rugby is running Premiership Rugby camps locally for young, budding rugby players during the summer holidays. Some of the best rugby community coaches in the country will offer specially tailored tutoring sessions, which will encompass technical and tactical aspects of the game. All activities are fun-based, but with a focus on the development of all participants whatever their level, and with camp ages ranging from under-sevens to under-16s. There’s also the chance a member of the Bath Rugby squad will make an appearance to share their skills and their top tips. “I always try to make the time to come and help out the Bath Rugby Community team at their camps,” says Tom Dunn. “Not just because
they’re great fun, but because I remember how much I benefited from coming to similar camps when I was younger, and how they helped me develop as a player.” Matt Banahan also endorses the sessions, “The Bath Rugby Community camps are a brilliant opportunity for youngsters of all abilities to improve their rugby skills and, most importantly, have fun whilst doing so. There’s nothing better than enjoying yourself and learning in a team environment.” Sessions are being held at North Dorset, Swanage & Wareham, Wellington, Wells and Walcot. • Back rower David Sisi has returned to the club following his season-long loan at London Irish. “I couldn’t be happier to be back at Farleigh now and getting stuck back into training with this group of lads,” says David, who joined Bath Rugby in 2013.
