Myton Warriors
Myton Warriors
Amateur RUGBY LEAGUE CLUB
M
yton Warriors is based at the Marist Sporting Club, Cranbrook
Avenue in East Yorkshire and their first team currently competes in
the Premier Division of the National Conference League. They are led
by Chairman Paul Hood who is supported by Secretary Des Fox and the club is
looking to progress under their guidance.
The club was initially formed around twenty
years ago and has gone on to put together a
history of which they have every right
to be proud. They began life playing
in Division One of the Hull and
District League and developed
a youth section a year later
following a merger with
Northern Dairies.
Three years later they
agreed a deal to share
their playing facilities
with
Marist
Rugby
Union Club and have
successfully shared the
facilities
ever
since,
providing rugby for the
community.
In 2017, their first team
put together a solid league
campaign as they compiled
a record of nine wins and
thirteen defeats from their
twenty two league matches. This
saw them finish in a safe mid-table
position with eighteen points on the
board.
This should provide them with a solid
platform from which to build as they look ahead
to their 2018 campaign and they have been working hard
during the off-season to improve. 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 well set up for a
successful campaign.
Myton Warriors is not a club to focus solely upon their
senior set up and this is reflected by the fact that they also have
a thriving youth section. 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 these players
enjoy a smooth transition into the senior
game they also run an additional 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
team to benefit from
far greater strength in
depth. If they are ever
left short on numbers
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
Myton Warriors currently has
in place as they continue to play a
vital role in the local community. If
they carry on in the same manner then
they should be able to look forward to a
bright and successful future for many years to
come.
