I get great enjoyment out of coaching the younger players and seeing them make the grade as first team players. “This season went well at the club; our 2nd team have just won promotion our 1st team just got beat in the Dorset & Wilts Plate Final and took 2nd place in the league. Our under 14s won the plate final and we have a very strong M/Y section at the club which is good for the future. “Being a community club we try to get local people interested which is working on Sundays with the amount of people we attract. We also coach at schools in our area which helps attract new players down to the club. “We do tend to lose players when they start college and they tend to finish with the bigger clubs as we have only a small catchment area. Weymouth & Portland RFC is a fantastic club to be involved with and I’m extremely proud to be Chairman here.” Kevin Talbot is a club sponsor and long term fan of Weymouth & Portland RFC. He recently told Rugby Club Magazine, “We are sponsors and kit suppliers to the club and have been for the past two seasons with my business www.dorsetprintwear.co.uk. As a fan, it’s great to see the club enjoying such a superb year. Myself and staff would like to wish everyone associated with the club continued success!” www.sportip.biz 57
