This has been a busy period with tournaments at Melrose , Kelso and Selkirk and the Jed sides have competed well and have been a credit to the club and their coaches.
The P3 side, which hasn’t had as many games as we would have liked have done well at both Kelso and Selkirk going undefeated at the latter but no silverware.
The P4s’ have also done well despite their lack of numbers and went close to winning their first tournament at Kelso.
The P5 side continues to perform well and have had another fantastic season winning tournaments at Jed, Melrose and Selkirk while narrowly missing out to Marr at Kelso for their clean sweep.
The P6 age-group is still dominated by a strong Kelso side but the Jed lads are improving and only the guest side Ilkley beat them at the Melrose tournament. Hopefully playing in front of the large crowd at Jed 7’s will inspire them to a win over Kelso on May 9th.
The large P7 squad has enjoyed success also, and has done exceptionally well enjoying a “Grand Slam” season winning at Jed, Gala P7 tournament (where they never conceded a try), Melrose, Kelso and Selkirk. A great achievement and one to be very proud of. This is a large squad of 19 players, which can make it difficult for coaches at times to keep everyone involved, but they have all played their part and have been a real credit to the Jed Minis’. We wish them all the best when they leave at the end of the season.

COACHING – Gary Young finishes after an incredible 10 years at Jed Minis and will be sorely missed after an amazing coaching stint. Keith Munro also finishes after a 4 year stint and again will be missed. As always when we lose coaches they need to be replaced and if you or anyone you know might be interested in coaching please get in touch as the more coaches we have the better it is for the kids.
