in place. This part of the club looks
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,
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 progress over the coming
years.
In order to help their youngsters
to make the sometimes difficult
transition into the senior game,
Malton and Norton also run a
number of additional sides. This
allows them to gain 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
teams 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.
Malton and Norton RUFC have
been playing some terrific rugby this
season whilst continuing to play a
vital role in their local community.
Thanks to the superb work that their
committee have been doing they
should be well set up for plenty of
success in the coming years.
