CANVEY ISLAND The team’s good defence is thanks partly to the outstanding individual defenders that they have but also is a testament to the great work that their coaching staff has done creating a competent unit. Being so solid will be particularly useful during the winter months when conditions will make it difficult to play an open style. One of the standout features of the Canvey Island set up is the superb social side to the club and they have many members involved purely because of this. The events that they put on are always enjoyed by those involved and they are keen to welcome any new members. Having a good social side is crucial for any club looking to maximise its potential. The superb off the field facilities that the club boasts also allows them to make the bar available for hire for various events. This has the potential to provide them with a valuable source of additional revenue which can be particularly important during the off-season when they are unable to rely upon matchday revenue but still have bills that need to be paid. There is much to admire about the set up that Canvey Island currently has in place. Hopefully they will be able to keep up the good work that they have been doing for many years to come and everyone at Rugby Club Magazine would like to wish them the best of luck. www.rugby-club.biz 85
