peterborough lions is an area that they appear to have covered. It will certainly be exciting to see how their juniors can progress in the coming years. In order to help these players to make the sometimes difficult transition into senior rugby, Peterborough Lions also run a 2nd XV which acts as a development side. This allows them to gain experience of the adult game even if they are not yet considered ready for first team action. Another benefit of having an additional 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 be admired about the fine work that Peterborough Lions have been doing lately both on and off the field. Hopefully they will be able to continue in the same manner for many years to come and everyone at Rugby Club Magazine would like to wish them the best of luck for the future. www.pitchero.com/clubs/peterboroughlionsrfc www.sportip.biz 25
