UCS OLD BOYS They are based on Ranulf Road in West Hampstead and welcome anyone that is interested in the game whether at beginner level, have played for many years or are just looking for something new. Their first team currently competes in the London 3 North West Division. They have enjoyed a positive start to the current campaign, having compiled a record of 2 wins and 1 defeat from their first 3 matches. This sees them sitting in the top half of the table with 9 points on the board. This should provide them with a strong platform upon which to build as they look to put together a successful campaign. As long as they are able to retain their current group of players and perhaps make one or two quality additions they should be in with a good chance of mounting a title challenge. One of the major positives of the team’s performances so far has been the strong defensive record that they have compiled. This is reflected by the fact that they have conceded just 47 points up to now, meaning that they have conceded just 47 points. Their strong defensive record is thanks to the superb individual defenders that they have in their team and also the hard work that they have put into making sure that they are well organised during the off-season. This is a credit to their coaching set-up. Being so difficult to breach will give help to instil confidence throughout the team giving players the freedom to go out and play their rugby. 46 ISSUE 49
