This in turn has the potential to provide them with a valuable source of additional revenue. Form an individual point of view, Giles West and Tom Holt lead the way in terms of try-scoring with 10 each whilst Warren Wilby is just behind with 9. Reliable place kicker Jack Peacock has played a vital role in their success and leads their scoring charts with 105 points.

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 whilst helping them to reach their full potential. 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 can progress in the coming years. In order to ensure that these players enjoy a smooth transition into the senior game the club also has a number of additional sides in place. This allows them to give players experience of adult level rugby even if they are not yet considered ready for first team action which can be an important step in the development process. Another benefit of having so many sides 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. After a difficult season which resulted in relegation last time around, everyone at Diss RFC deserves tremendous credit for the turn around that they have instigated. It is this which allows the club to look forwards to a bright and successful future in the years to come. www.pitchero.com/clubs/dissrugby - Twitter : @DissRugbyClub www.sportip.biz 37
