Maldon
M
aldon RFC is based at Drapers Farm Playing Fields in Essex and their first team currently competes in Essex 1.
They are led by Chairman Jeremy Wood who is supported by Secretary Simon Peacock and the club has been
progressing well under their guidance.
Their first team has put together a strong
campaign so far this time around having
compiled a record of ten wins and nine
defeats from their nineteen matches. This
has left them sitting in the top half of the
table with 53 points on the board as the
season draws to a close.
They will now be keen to put in good
performances in their remaining fixtures
in order to finish their season on a high
and go into the off-season on a positive
note. They can then start to focus upon
continuing to improve ahead of their
2015-16 campaign.
One of the highlights of the team’s
performances this time around has been
the attacking brand of rugby that they
have been producing. This is reflected in
the fact that they have already scored 587
points in the league alone at a rate of more
than 30 per game.
This will certainly have meant that their
supporters have been well entertained
and should encourage more of the local
community to get behind the side in the
future. This in turn has the potential to
provide the club with a valuable source of
additional revenue.
Maldon is not a club to focus solely upon
their senior section however and this is
reflected by the fact that they also have
a number of youth teams. These sides
look 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 club to be able to
produce their own talent if they are to be
successful over a sustained period of time
and this is an area they appear to have
covered. It will certainly be exciting to see
how their youngsters can progress over
the coming months.
In order to help these players to make
the sometimes difficult transition into the
senior game Maldon also run a number
of additional sides. This allows them to
give player
