RUGBY CLUB
Hitchin Rugby Club plays its home games at the King George V
Playing Fields and their first team currently competes in the London
North West 3 League. They are led by the team of President Gerallt
Morgan and Chair Peter Tasko and the club is looking to progress
under their guidance.
The club is a non-profit organisation
that state on their official website www.
hitchinrugby.com that their aim is to,
“participate in and promote the
sport of rugby at all age levels
within the Hitchin area.” They
have a membership of more
than 800 members and in total
more than 1000 players have
represented the club since
they were first established.
So far this season it
would be fair to say that
their first team has not
perhaps put together the
campaign that they would
have liked, having compiled
a record of one win and five
defeats from their first six
matches. This has left them
sitting at the bottom of the league
with five points on the board.
There is still plenty of time remaining
in the season to turn things around however
and a good run of results would see them
quickly climb the table. As long as they are able to retain
their current group of players and can perhaps make one or
two quality additions they should be in with a good chance of
doing just that.
Hitchin is not a club to focus solely upon their senior section
however 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 a safe and enjoyable
environment in which to play the game 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 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.
The
disappointing
results that Hitchin have had
on the field should not take
away from the good work that
is being carried out at the club. If
they continue in the same manner
then it should only be a matter of
time before their results pick up. Rugby
Club Magazine wishes them the best of luck
for the rest of the season.
