RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
S
outhport RFC is a fantastic
example of the success a club
can achieve both on and off
the field with a lot of hard work and
good organisation. They have made
tremendous progress in recent years
and have made a storming start to their
league campaign this season, winning
their first eight matches. Rugby Club
Magazine was keen to find out more
about the good work they’ve been doing
and with this in mind we caught up with
their Chairman Steve Olive.
Atmosphere
He told us, “There’s a fantastic spirit
at the club at the moment. We’ve a lot
of players coming up through our mini/
juniors to play for us at senior level which
really helps our identity. We define the
culture of the club and there is a clear
playing strategy in place now which we
start in our mini and junior sections and
that runs right the way through the club.
This helps players to make the transition
into the senior game.
I think as we progress and grow we
will need to welcome new players into our
set up. It’s a great strength having all the
minis and juniors coming through but we
have to make sure that we are a friendly
and welcoming club for all new players.”
Volunteers
“One of the things that is very strong
at this club is the work of the volunteers.
The grit and determination of a small
group was what started the transition
