It is important for any side to be able
to produce their own talent if they are
to be successful, particularly in the
current financial climate. It will be a
major boost for their first team if they
are able to rely upon talented juniors
coming through the ranks.
In order to help ensure that these
players enjoy a smooth transition into
the senior game Rossendale also has
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 extra 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 is much to admire about the
good work that Rossendale RUFC has
been doing in recent times and this
is thanks to the hard work that their
Committee has put into making the
club a success. Hopefully they will be
able to continue in the same manner
for many years to come.
