one of our ex-players will bring some equipment down to
help encourage young children to get involved in rugby.
It’s important to grow our youth section to enable us to
continue to move forwards as a club.”
Community
“We are a community club but only with one side at the
moment. We want to increase our participation numbers
to provide as many people as possible with an opportunity
to get involved. We are seeing more of the locals coming
along to watch us play which is encouraging.”
Challenges
“We’re two thirds of the way towards finishing our
clubhouse, which was funded by a small loan by the WRU
and club money and we want to get that finished. That
will definitely be ready for next season and that will be a
major boost for us. Growing youth and junior rugby will
be a big challenge for us because there are a lot of clubs in
Newport with a lot of junior/Mini rugby so there’s a lot
of competition for players.”
Ambitions
“We’re looking for new players coming into the game
who want to try rugby. It’s a family club here and anyone
coming along will receive a warm welcome. We want
to give people a platform to enjoy rugby at Newport
Saracens.
Over the next five years we want to get the infrastructure
right to ensure the sustainability of the club. Twice before
the club has failed to fulfil our fixtures so we need to keep
the players that we have engaged and ensure that we
are always bringing in new players to come and join our
family here.”
