Blackwood
Stars
the club for me was the community atmosphere where
although rugby is top of the list the social element that
comes with it is also very important.”
The Role
“The most rewarding part for me is on a Saturday
afternoon watching the team put in a committed
performance and then seeing happy faces on players,
members and committee men in the club after the
game.
Success is always good but it is the participation of
players and members that is vitally important and the
community vibe that this creates. The club has never
been frightened of failure because if it was the club
wouldn’t be where it is today. We call the club the Stars
family and anybody who leaves are always welcomed
back to the Stars family if things do not work out.
The most challenging aspect is trying to keep
everybody happy and motivated as well as building
a vibrant atmosphere to encourage players to join
the club. The recruitment and retention of players is
becoming increasingly difficult, mainly because of
the many different activities available to youngsters
together with the ever increasing amount of live sport
shown on TV.”
Atmosphere
“Currently the mood in the club is very positive.
We have just started pre-season training and turn out
has been very good considering we are in the holiday
season. We have already recruited 5 new players and
we are very optimistic that we will be challenging at
the top of the league at the end of the season.”
