RUGBY Football CLUB

edworth RFC is based at the Nicholas Chamberlaine School , Bulkington Road in Warwickshire and their first team currently competes in the Midlands 4 West ( South ) League . They are led by the team of Chairman Mick Slater and President Chris Alexander and the club is looking to progress under their guidance .
So far this season their first team has made a positive start to their league campaign , having compiled a record of six wins and three defeats from their nine matches . This has left them sitting in the top half of the table with 32 points on the board .
This should provide them with the perfect platform from which to go on and have a successful campaign . 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 .
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 325 points at a rate of more than 35 per game , making them the top scorers in the league .
This will certainly mean 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 .
Bedworth 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 mini / junior 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 make sure that they enjoy a smooth transition into the senior game they also run an addition side . 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 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
Bedworth RFC currently has in place and hopefully they will be able to continue in the same manner for many years to come .
