YARM
YARM
Yarm Rugby Club is based on Wass Way in Cleveland and their first team competed in
the Durham/Northumberland Division 3 last time around. They are led by the team of
President Steve Passman and Chairman Gary West and they are looking to progress
under their guidance.
Last season it would be fair to say that the team did not
enjoy the season that they would have liked, having put
together a record of having won 3 and lost 17 of their
20 matches. This left them sitting near the bottom of the
table with 16 points on the board.
Their attentions will now have turned towards the
2014/15 campaign and will be determined to gain some
improved results. It will be important for them to get off
to a good start in order to build some momentum early
on.
“The club is
also able to
boast some
high quality
facilities.”
Yarm is not a team that focuses solely upon their senior
section as they also have a strong youth set-up. This
part of the club looks to provide young players from
the local area with an opportunity to play the game in a
safe and enjoyable environment in order to help them
develop their skills.
It is important for any side to be able to produce their
own players, particularly in the current economic
climate. Coaching staff overseeing the youth section
are confident that they have a number of players
currently involved with the potential to go on and
represent the team at senior level.
at their Wass Way base. They suffered the set back of
having their clubhouse destroyed by arson in March
2008 but bounced back quickly and were able to open
up a new facility on the 22nd August 2009.
Having a good set of facilities is vital for a rugby club
as it can allow them to gain additional revenue. It can
also help to boost the social side of the set-up which is
important for creating an environment in which players
are able to enjoy the game.
Although Yarm did not perhaps enjoy the season that
they would have liked, this should not take away from
the good work that they do in their local community.
Hopefully they will be able to continue in the same
manner for many years to come and everyone at
Rugby Club Magazine would like to wish them the best
of luck.
