“ Petersfield RFC is not a club to focus solely upon their senior section and this is reflected by the fact that they also have a thriving youth set up .”
will now be working hard during the off-season to make sure that they can continue to be successful in their 2017 / 18 campaign .
One of the highlights of the team ’ s performances this time around has been the attacking brand of rugby that they have been able to produce . This has been reflected by the fact that they have racked up 679 points in the league alone at an average of more than thirty per game .
This will certainly have meant that any supporters attending their matches will have been well entertained and should encourage more of the local community to get behind the side in the future .
This in turn has the potential to provide them with a valuable source of additional revenue which is particularly important in the current financial climate .
Petersfield RFC is not a club to focus solely upon their senior section 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 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 they 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 .
It has been a season to remember for everyone associated with Petersfield RFC and their results on the field are a reflection of the superb set up that they have in place . They have established themselves as a vital part of their local community and will hopefully be able to continue in the same manner for many years to come . Everyone at Rugby Club Magazine would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the club on their well-deserved success .
