Hello everyone in Touch Rugby Land!

Blackest Cats and Touch Australia have been working closely to improve our clinics and form the AuSquad program that will cater for the age gap between the AusTouch program (u10's) and the 18's. Clinics have already been booked for 2010 and there are plans for a National camp and Aussie team selection so its all very exciting to be part of. Checkout www.blackestcat.com.au  and click on AuSquads.

Forums have been launched on both the Blackest Cat and AuSquad websites and provide a great opportunity to share ideas, ack questions and chat about Touch. Pop on and make a comment when you get a chance.

I'm back in training and hoping to play for the Magpies this Friday. We are struggling a little so far with only 1 win from 5 but are very positive and feel we can get back on track against the in form Parramatta Eels this week. I've added the ladder to my SportsLog page. It's an easy way to stay updated so add your competition to your page so I can see how you are travelling too :)

Hope you are all training hard in the cold (its tough hey), throwing long, scooping fast, defending grimly and enjoying your touch.

Cheers,

Jase :)
