Colchester
Colchester RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
Colchester RFC is based at the Mill Road Playing Fields in Essex and their first team currently competes in National League 3 London and South East . They are led by the team of President Brian Borges and Chair Karl O ’ Brien and the club is looking to progress under their guidance .
So far this season it would be fair to say that their first team has not perhaps enjoyed the campaign that they would have liked , having put together a record of three wins and eighteen defeats from their twenty one matches . This has left them sitting near the bottom of the table with twenty three points on the board .
They will now be looking to put together a good run of results in order to finish the season on a high . This would then give them the opportunity to build during the off-season in order to hopefully have an improved campaign next time around . As long as they are able to retain their current group of players and can perhaps make some quality additions they should be in with a good chance of doing just that .
One of the highlights of the Colchester set up is the superb youth section that they currently have in place . This part of the club looks 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 particularly in the current financial climate . It will certainly be exciting to see how Colchester ’ s youngsters are able to progress over the coming years .
In order to help make sure that these players enjoy a smooth transition into the senior game they also run a number of 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 an extra side 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 up replacements with a limited amount of disruption .
