“We are aiming for a top 4 finish for
the first team, mid table for the second
team and to provide enjoyable rugby for
the third XV. We have a few age grade
holes we need to plug and in the future we
hope to get a Ladies team up and running
to supplement the girls section.
“Youth rugby is absolutely massive
for us. When you don’t have a secondary
school to draw from our youth section is
our recruitment for senior rugby. When
you have the DOR, one senior coach,

Gary Parsons of Parsons Scrap recently told Rugby Club Magazine,
“I am one of the under 16 coaches alongside Richard Lawrence,
Mike Bell, Nigel Mundy and our fitness coach Steve Delve. I played
prop for Yatton for 8 years from 11 to 18 years old when injury and
starting my own business took me away from further competitive
playing.
My sons both now play for the club. Harry plays No.10 for the U16s
and Alfie is a forward for the U10s. The U16s have been plagued
by injuries this year which has held the team back, mostly non-rugby related injuries I hasten to add. The seniors are having a great
season and I rarely miss a home fixture.
My business, Parsons Scrap, has sponsored the club in various
ways for over 8 years. We are currently represented on the 1st
team’s shirts as well as ground hoardings and our advert appears
within the club handbook. I would like to wish everyone associated
with Yatton RFC continued success and in particular the 1st XV in
their push for promotion.”
