Each age group coach named a player of the month based on effort, team work and embodying the spirit of rugby. We have so many talented and dedicated players in the minis section that this is never an easy choice. So, many congratulations to our incredible winners, they all get a certificate and medal, and win vouchers for coding camps at Code Ninjas in Newbury:

U6: Emily Previte
U7: EJ Smith
U8: Zachary Smith
U9: Jack Bartholomew
U10: Daniel Blythe
U11: Silas Barthrop
U12: Archy Wildy

The coaches then pick an overall winner from these seven winners to become overall Code Ninja player of the month for the minis section. Very well done to:

EJ Smith from the U7s

EJ is a deserving winner. This is his third year at the club, and has always been an absolute pleasure to coach. He tries his hardest at everything he does, and is really developing his support play and working as part of a team. He took to rugby straight away and is showing some extremely exciting skills and feel for the game at such a young age. But most importantly does everything with a huge smile on his face! Well done EJ!

You will see EJ's name on the plaque outside the doors to the Kickers Bar. I would like to send a huge thank you to Marcus, Alina and the team at Code Ninjas for their generosity and support in making this all possible.
