victories having claimed glory in the two previous
events.
There will be a number of teams looking to take
the title from them however from across the
Naval Service set-up. It promises to be a terrific
contest and it will certainly be interesting to see
who is able to emerge victorious.
RNRL are committed to providing people looking
to get into the game with an opportunity to play
Rugby League and do a great job in this regard.
They are focused on giving players the chance
to develop their skills in a safe and enjoyable
environment.
With this is mind they have an academy in place
and they are confident that they have a number
of players currently involved who can go on to
achieve plenty of success. It will be exciting to
watch how they are able to develop as they aim to
reach their full potential.
There is much to admire about the work that the
RNRL has done since it was first formed and this is
thanks to the effort that has been put into them.
Hopefully they will be able to continue in the
same manner for many years to come and Rugby
Club Magazine would like to wish them the best
of luck for the future.

The campaign was not without positives however
and the team showed glimpses of the potential
that they have. They will be looking to become
more consistent next time out and so long as they
are able to make one or two quality additions to
their current squad they should be able to secure
a higher league finish.
season, this should not take away from the good
work that they do. The effort that their Committee
puts into making the club a success should mean
that they
