So far this season their first team has made a positive start to their league campaign, having compiled a record of five wins and just three defeats from their eight matches. This has left them sitting in fifth place in the league with 28 points on the board. This should provide the team with a perfect platform from which to go on and put together a successful campaign. As long as they are able to keep their current group of players together and can perhaps make one or two quality additions they should be in with a chance of challenging for honours. One of the highlights of the team’s performances so far this season 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 285 points at a rate of more than thirty five 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. Redingensians Rams 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 make sure 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 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 Redingensians Rams Rugby Club currently has in place and hopefully they will be able to continue in the same manner for many years to come. www.rugbyclubmag.com 15
