Beckenham
for the 1st XV and it will certainly be exciting
to see how they are able to develop over the
coming years.
In order to help their young players
successfully make the transition into senior
rugby Beckenham also have a number of
additional senior sides in place. This allows
them to give their youngsters experience of
adult level rugby even if they are not yet
considered ready for first team action.
The number of sides the club runs also
serves to demonstrate their commitment
to playing an important role in their local
community. They deserve a tremendous
amount of credit for this side of their set-up
which is a reflection of the effort that is put
in by their Committee in order to make it a
success.
Another benefit of having more than
one senior team is that it allows the first
team to have far greater strength in depth. If
they are ever left short on numbers through
injury or work commitments then they can
call players up with a limited amount of
disruption.
Beckenham RFC is a terrific example of
the important role that a club can play in
their local community. The work that they
are doing at present should put them in a
good position to go on and enjoy a successful
future. Everyone at Rugby Club Magazine
would like to take this opportunity to wish
them the best of luck for the new season.
