With the festive season now upon us, the fixture list is likely to become a bit erratic as fixture secretaries try and reschedule postponed games from the last number of weeks. This is not any easy task, for what might suit one club, may not suit another and their may be occasions when a game will be organised at short notice with little or no advance warning.
\nAlong with all the other clubs, Ards have a number of games to reschedule and one or two of these may be played over the Christmas period, if agreement can be reached between clubs.<\/p>\n

Seasons Greetings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ards RFC President Reggie Haddock would like to thank everyone for all their support during a very difficult and traumatic first half of the season.
\nThe passing of our good friend and head coach Cois Beukes had a devastating effect on all who knew him and he would particularly like to pass on his best wishes to Cois wife Rachel and young daughter Naomi, at this time.
\nHe would also like to extend season\u2019s greetings to all our sponsors, members, friends and supporters of Ards RFC and hope for a buoyant and prosperous 2011 for all.<\/p>\n

Ladies
\nArds Ladies have been toiling away under the stewardship of Ross Reid ably assisted by Ian Caughey, and hope to be in a position soon to make an announcement on their first game early in the New Year.
\nThis will be a huge milestone for the club and for the Ladies section in particular and hopefully get the girls on the rugby map and encourage more participation from the \u2018fairer sex.\u2019
\nWell done to everyone for turning up at training on these cold wintery nights, and lets continue to build towards your first game soon.

\nSocial
\nThe teams Christmas dinner went down a treat on Saturday night and credit must go to the caterer Mark Robinson and his staff for putting on an excellent meal.
