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 they appear to have covered. It will certainly be exciting to see how their juniors can develop over the coming years. In order to help ensure their youngsters enjoy a smooth transition into the senior game they also have an additional side 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 more than one team 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 set up that Seaford currently has in place and this should enable them to look forwards to a bright and successful future.
