ithycombe RFC had a really promising campaign in 2014/15 and with a thriving youth section in place the
future looks to be bright for the club. Club Representative Chris Gibbons took the time to tell us more about
the fine set up that they have in place.
He started by telling us about his involvement with the
club, saying, “I have been part of the club as a player
for the past 6 years, i joined after moving down from
Essex. I have now been on the committee for the past 3
years and really enjoy getting involved with running of
the club and seeing it grow every season.
“I was attracted to how close knit the whole club was
and how much of a family environment that was there.
One of the most challenging things in my role in the
club is to ensure the club is ticking over whether we are
in season or not and we have by far the busiest summer
we have had in a long time which means the club is
getting more and more sustainable each year and that
is great to see from my point of view.
“The club has a real buzz about it at the minute, after
the success of last year in the National RFU Senior Vase
where we became South West Champions and got to
the semi-final where we narrowly lost to the eventual
winners. I think players and supporters alike have
got a feeling that the group of senior players we have
can really do something special in the up and coming
season.
