WOODRUSH
It is important for any side to be able to produce their
own talent, particularly in the current financial climate
and this is an area that they appear to have covered.
It will certainly be exciting to see how their juniors are
able to develop over the coming years.
Another benefit of having more than one time is that it
allows the first XV to benefit from far greater strength
in depth. If they are ever left short on numbers through
injury or work commitments they have the option of
calling players up with a limited amount of disruption.
To help their youngsters to make the sometimes
difficult transition into senior level rugby they also have
an additional side in place. This allows them to give
players experience of the adult game even if they are
not yet considered ready for first team action which can
be an important step in the development process.
Woodrush’s superb campaign last time around was a
just reward for all of the hard work that has been put
into the club. Rugby Club Magazine would like to take
this opportunity to congratulate them on their recent
success and also wish them the best of luck for the
future.
“First established in 1966, Woodrush RFC is based on Icknield Street in the West
Midlands and they competed in the Midlands 4 West League last season. They
are led by the team of Chairman Andy Gibbs and President Ken Hussey and have
made a considerable amount of progress under their guidance.”
