Wharfedale RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
W
harfedale RFC is based on Wharfeside Avenue in North Yorkshire and their first team currently competes in the National League 2 North . They are led by the team of Chairman David Baker and President John Spencer and the club is looking to progress under their guidance .
So far this season , their first team has put together a steady league campaign , having compiled a record of nine wins and fifteen defeats from their twenty-four matches . This has left them sitting in a safe mid-table position with 47 points on the board .
They will now be looking to put together a good run of results in their remaining fixtures in order to finish in the best league position possible . As long as they are able to retain their current group of players and perhaps make one or two quality additions they should be well positioned to push on next time around .
Wharfedale is not a club to focus solely upon their senior section 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 .
In order to help ensure that these 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 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 .
Wharfedale RUFC is a fine example of the important role that a club can play in their local community by providing people with a chance to play the game . Hopefully they will be able to continue in the same manner for many years to come .
