reflected by the fact that they have conceded just 368 points in the league , giving them the 2nd best record in the competition .
Being so difficult to breach has made sure that they are able to grind out results even when they are not playing at their best or when conditions do not allow for an open brand of rugby . Their defensive record is a testament to the hard work of their coaching staff and the fact that they have some superb individual defenders .
Dings Crusaders is not a club to focus solely upon their senior section however and this is reflected by the fact that they also have a thriving youth set up . 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 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 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 extra sides 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 .
There is clearly some fantastic work taking place at Dings Crusaders at present and they will now be looking to finish the season well to wrap up a productive campaign . If they continue in the same manner then they should be able to look forward to a bright and successful future for many years to come . Rugby Club Magazine wishes them the best of luck .
