Hitchin
“Although Hitchin did not enjoy the
campaign they would have liked
last time around this should not take
away from the good work being
carried out at the club.”
they are able to retain their current group of players and can
perhaps make one or two quality additions they should be in
with a good chance of doing just that.
This is not a club to focus solely upon their senior section
however and this is reflected by the fact that they also have a
number of youth sides in place. These teams look to provide
young players from the local area with an opportunity to play
the game in a safe and enjoyable environment whilst helping
them to reach their full potential.
This part of the club was first established by players and
parents in 1988 and the superb work that they do in this area
was recognised when they were awarded the Seal of Approval
by the RFU. They state that their aim is to, “make rugby fun,
make the game available to all – regardl ess of ability – and
promote the Rugby Union ethos.”
In order to help ensure that their young players players
enjoy a smooth transition into the senior game they also run
additional sides. This allows them to gain experience of adult
level rugby even if they are not yet considered ready for first
team action which can be an important step in the development
process.
Another benefit of having extra teams is that it allows the
first XV to benefit from far greater strength in depth. If they are
ever left short on numbers through injury or work commitments
they have the option of calling players up with a limited amount
of disruption.
Although Hitchin did not enjoy the campaign they would
have liked last time around this should not take away from
the good work being carried out at the club. If they continue in
the same manner then they should be able to look forward to a
bright and successful future. Everyone at Rugby Club Magazine
wishes them the best of luck.
