RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
W
ymondham RFC is based at The Foster Harrison Memorial Ground on Tuttles
Lane East and their first team currently competes in the East Counties Greene
King League Division One. They are led by the team of President Peter Barry and Chairman
Andrew Kilby and the club has been progressing well under their guidance.
Their first team has made a fine start to their current league
campaign, having put together a record of eight wins and two
defeats from their ten league matches. This has left them sitting
in second place in the table with forty points on the board.
This should provide them with the perfect platform from
which to go on and put together a successful campaign. As
long as they are able to keep their current group of players fit
they should be in with a good chance of mounting a serious
championship challenge.
Wymondham 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.
It is important for any club looking to be successful over
a sustained period of time to be able to produce their own
talent and this is an area they appear to have covered. It will
certainly be exciting to see how their youngsters can progress
over the coming years.
The club recently received a boost when secretary of state
for communities and local government, Sajid Javid, overturned
a decision on their development plan.
Speaking to www.wymondhamandattleboroughmercury.
co.uk, Wymondham’s Director of Rugby David Brunton said,
“This is vital to the future of Wymondham RFC.”
“Yet we have just two pitches of our own, playing surfaces
that are mudbaths for months on end, completely inadequate
parking and changing facilities and a clubhouse that is
creaking at the seams.
“Now though we have the chance to create something
really special for our club, for the local community and for
rugby in Norfolk.”
With a team going well on the field, an excellent youth
set up and plans for improved facilities there appears to be
plenty of reason for optimism at Wymondham RFC. Everyone
at Rugby Club Magazine wishes them the best of luck for the
future.
