Skill, team work and competitiveness a winning combination on the pitch and in the community
Ties between sport and business in West Sussex grow ever stronger and we’re proud to once
again be associated with Chichester Rugby Club which has notched up some inspiring victories
in its maiden season in the national leagues.
Having played for Chichester RFC in my younger days, I’m proud to be part of its present and
its future through the affiliation with Henry Adams. Our team of experts provide a full range of
property related services to help local people and businesses make the most of their property
assets.
Henry Adams has an on-going commitment to enhancing local community life and rugby has a
fantastic following in the area, often sitting at the heart of communities and attracting a wide
range of participants and spectators.
I feel a great sense of pride that, through our business, Henry Adams is supporting such a
thriving and professionally-run club and will be cheering you on next season.
since passed a review with a glowing
report which is a testament to the hard
work their volunteers put into making
them a success.
One of the standout features of their setup is the superb youth section that they
have in place. This part of the club looks
to provide youngsters from the local area
with a safe and enjoyable environment in
which to develop core skills such as selfdiscipline, fair play, strong team ethics and
fun.
Their community involvement is to
be admired and they work hard to
promote the game in local schools, having
formed a partnership with the School
Sports Coordinator Programme and the
52 Issue 52
Chichester District Council to encourage
more people to take up rugby.
It is important for any club to be able to
produce their own talent, particularly in the
current financial climate and this is an area
that Chichester appears to have covered. It
will certainly be exciting to see how their
juniors can progress over the coming years.
It can be difficult for young players to
make the sometimes difficult transition
into the senior game and in order to
combat this Chichester also have a number
of additional sides. 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.
There are few better examples of a well-run,
community establishment than Chichester
RFC and this is thanks to the outstanding
efforts of the people involved. This should
enable them to look forwards to a bright
and successful future and everyone at
Rugby Club Magazine would like to wish
them the best of luck.
