the production of two teams and still a
mass of children taking part at younger
ages.”
Success
“Our recent successes without a
doubt have been the league winning,
as one. Secondly will be the league
awarding our club the honour of
hosting the LBS finals day, a committee
that trusted us to ensure we laid on a
welcoming and successful day for all,
which we have received numerous
thankful messages from all clubs and
officials who attended. We have spent
some time as a club improving the
facility with tidying up and improving
areas.”
2017
“For the remainder of this year we
plan to have a short break, and then hit
the preseason training. We also have
many events planned from social events
within the club to Bonfire night for the
community.
Our next area for development is to
improve our disabled facilities to ensure
the club can always be enjoyed by all.
This has been made possible by kind
donations from local businesses and
local authority funding’s.”

Youth
“This is a very important part of
rugby, simply because they are our
future. Without youth sections your club
has no future, from players to volunteers
and club officials. Youth rugby is a
fundamental foundation to
any club and even sport.
Our
senior
players
take
their own time
to assist in
coaching the
youth teams.
This
is
rotated and
each senior
p l a y e r
takes time
ensuring
experiences
are passed on.
Once
youths
are at an age
where they can
play for senior teams,
we place them initially
within our second team so
that the very senior players can assist in
the smooth transitions.”
Community
“Our club is most definitely a
community club; we hold host to other
clubs weekly to Rugby Union, Rugby
league, Wrestling, Archery, Dog training,
fishing club meets, and our local football
team are also using the facility for their
annual presentation.”
Challenges/Ambitions
“Our biggest challenges
would be to look how
best to develop the
club, not on where
it needs to be,
but where it
would best fit
to be there
for all of the
community
ensuring all
year round
use.
O u r
ambitions
are to grow
and
grow,
especially
our
youth
divisions,
and
hopefully
turning out a third senior
team. We intend to grow
membership by word of mouth and
attract more variances of all sports into
the facility where possible.”
