sudbury Sudbury S udbury RFC is a terrific example of a club at the heart of their local community, providing people of all ages an opportunity to enjoy the game of rugby. Their Press Officer, Don Reekie took the time to tell us more about the good work that they have been doing lately. He said, “I have been involved in the club for the last thirty years since my son started playing. The rewarding part of the job is being involved at the heart of the club, being part of key decisions and enjoying the successes even though I am too old to play. Time is always a limiting factor. “We’ve achieved plenty of success in recent times thanks to an accumulation of effort over a long period, good coaching, good facilities and an investment in youth, last year we had the lowest average age in our league. “The off-season was busy with maintenance on the club, two weekends with loads of volunteers doing all those jobs that you never quite get round to doing and victory at the Diss sevens as a warm up for the players. The new season brings a new league so our aim is to get a top half finish and maintain our momentum. www.pitchero.com/clubs/sudburyrfc - Twitter : @SudburyRFC www.sportip.biz 61
