St Marys Old Boys
So far this season they have put together a fine league campaign , having compiled a record of fourteen wins and four defeats from their eighteen matches . This has left them sitting in second place in the table with 58 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 in turn would provide them with momentum heading into the off-season as they look ahead to their 2017 / 18 campaign .
This 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 , 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 in the coming years .
In order to help them to make the sometimes difficult transition into the senior game they also run an additional side . 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 .
There is much to admire about the fine set up that St Mary ’ s Old Boys currently has in place and this is reflected in the results they are achieving on the field . Hopefully they will be able to continue in the same manner for many years to come .
Rugby Club Magazine recently caught up with Matt Gallagher of G Build , the shirt sleeve sponsor , who told us , “ As a former player of the club , I gained so much from my time at St Marys , not only in sport , but life skills as well , I am only too happy to help the club out when I can .
Fortunately through the reputation of the business , and subsequent growth of it , we not only sponsor the shirt sleeves but regularly do the same for the match ball among other things . It ’ s a great club and I am very proud to be associated with it .”
