ased at Wilkinson Way on Monkton Lane in Surrey,
Farnham RUFC currently competes in the London 2
South West League. They are led by the team of Chairman Geoff
Robins and President Geoff Bond and the club is looking to
progress under their guidance.
It would be fair to say that their first team has not enjoyed the
start to the current campaign that they would have liked, having
compiled a record of 3 wins and 13 defeats from their 16 matches.
This has left them sitting near the bottom of the table with 16
points on the board.
They did however claim a morale boosting victory in their last
fixture against Tadley and will be looking to use this result as
a platform from which to build. A good run of results in their
remaining games would help the side to climb away from the
bottom places.
Farnham is not a club to focus solely upon senior rugby however
as they also have a number of youth sides in place. These teams
look to give youngsters from the local area 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 they
appear to have covered. With their first team struggling, an influx
of talented juniors in the next few years may prove to be just the
boost they need.
In order to help ensure that their young players enjoy a smooth
transition into the senior game, Farnham also have a number
of additional sides in place. This allows them to give them
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
