“We recently were one of six clubs
across the country to win the Nat west
work force competition where we had our
club house turning Twickenham for the
opening game of the World Cup and we
had an ex England player to help us.
“The boys are on a high at the
moment, having gone undefeated in four
games and looking good in the league, the
sponsors and spectators are returning and
are happy with what they see.
“We had a poor start to the season
but now that new coach Malcome Graves
has got them into shape and has made
his mark. The team is more disciplined,

playing some quality rugby.
“We now want to carry on with the
good work on and off the field, hopefully
ending up with a good position in the
league and a financially sound ending
with the long waited return of the end of
season ball.
“The youth section is the life blood of
the club, we do not have any local schools
that play rugby so this is the only way
we can recruit new players. The mini and
junior section is about 200 strong with
players and coaches at all age groups and

“It is our ambition to ensure that our
under seventeen’s continue their rugby to
the senior club this year we brought them
a set of shirts the same as the first team
with all sponsors logos on and involve
them in some of the senior training.
“We have a large community, getting
players from Whitstable and Herne Bay
alike. Most of the clubs revenue comes
from outside functions; we hold many
birthday parties for all ages, wedding
anniversaries, wakes, christenings and
weddings as well as being available for
business use for local meetings.
“The club is keen to continue its good
work and hope to get back to where we
were in London 3, keep the junior section
moving forward and remain financially
sound.”
