Winnington Park
have liked, having put together a record of two
wins and six defeats from their first eight matches.
This has left them sitting in the bottom half of the
table with ten points on the board.
There have been some positives for the team to
take from their matches however and they will now
be keen to build on these. So long as they are able
to do so they should be in with a good chance of
pushing on up the table over the remainder of the
season.
One of the standout features of the Winnington
Park set up is the superb youth section that they
have in place. This part of the club looks to provide
youngsters 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 interesting to see how
their juniors can progress in the coming years.
In order to help ensure that they enjoy a
smooth transition into the senior game they also
run additional sides. This allows them to gain
experience of the adult game 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 sides is that it
allows first team players 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.
Winnington Park RFC has certainly come a
long way since their humble beginnings and are
now a terrific example of a thriving community
establishment. Hopefully they will be able to keep
up the good work for many years to come and
everyone at Rugby Club Magazine would like to
wish them the best of luck for the future.
