One of the highlights of the Oxford Harlequins
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 and
this is an area that they appear to
have covered. It will certainly be
exciting to see how their 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 second XV. 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 Oxford
Harlequins currently has in place
and this is thanks to all the hard work
that goes into the club. 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.
