Proud Sponsors of Sharlston Rovers Juniors Rugby Club
Sharlston Rovers
In 2017 , the junior committee put a lot of work into establishing Sharlston Rovers Juniors as a registered charity and worked on lots of fund raising projects and events . We also became a learning Destination for the Children ’ s university which means children get rewarded for doing something they enjoy .”
2018
“ We want to increase our playing numbers for all our junior and open age teams . The junior ’ s are planning vast amounts of fund raising events so we can give back to the children and the community .
The rugby section works alongside the Sharlston Sports club who again hold various events and we both work in partnership to try and make these events as successful as possible . We are also looking to help various charities in 2018 .”
Youth
“ The youth section is the future of this club . We are looking to progress our children through all the age groups in preparation for moving them to the open age teams . The youth section of the club has now become the back bone and the children provide a real positive atmosphere around the place because they bring such enjoyment and fun to the game .”
Community
“ We run Sharlston Rovers very much as a community club ; we attract players not only from the village but also the surrounding areas . Our club is one of the few clubs in this area that also run a tots training session for children aged 4 years .
As Sharlston is an ex mining village it is lacking in regeneration and the rugby club provides much needed enjoyment for all the community not just the players . We hold various events for the village including our summer gala and Christmas fair and we try to involve local businesses where possible .”
Facilities
“ The junior section has been doing copious amounts of fundraising and applying for various grants to raise much needed funds for the improvement of our ground facilities . We currently have the open age team , four junior teams , the tots sections ( which have over 30 children in attendance ), the Wakefield Trinity ladies team and we are hoping to introduce an under 12 ’ s girls team , all playing and training twice a week from one pitch .
We are in desperate need of ground and facility improvements and expansion . The winter training proves very difficult as the pitch cannot cope with the demands of all the teams who all train twice per week and all play weekly matches .
We are trying to secure two rugby pitches , introduce floodlights and build an all-weather pitch for both the school and our rugby club to use however , this is dependent on

securing grants and fundraising which can sometimes be difficult as there is a lot of competition when it comes to grant applications .”
Challenges / Ambitions
“ The biggest challenge we may face in the next five years is for us to be able to accommodate the yearly increasing numbers . Our current facilities are not suitable for the demand at the moment . We need to retain the children we already have signed on with the club but also attract new players especially as we are in competition with other clubs in such a small radius .
Without expanding our facilities and playing fields we could potentially not be able to sustain the rising number which would be a real shame for the community especially when so much effort and time has been put into setting up the junior section .
Our main priority in our five year plan is to improve our ground facilities or secure additional playing fields . We are also looking to have another five age groups with the junior section . We would hope some of our players obtain scholarships for professional clubs and also encourage the flow of the youth players through to the open age team .” www . rugbyclubmag . com 55

links with the local community through the profile of rugby.
This fusion of club and community has been assisted by the
employment of a Business Manager who actively encourages
the community to utilise the facilities of the club for social and
business events throughout the week.
Today we believe the mix of club and community has
enabled us to be more prominent in Aberdare. For over 125
years the Club has survived and today it supports two Senior
and two Youth teams. A Mini and Juniors section with over 200
young people engaged in rugby from the age of 7-16. We are
now also proudly sponsoring the growth of junior girls’ teams.
We are also grateful that many ex-players and interested senior
citizens have formed a supportive group (Galapagos Society)
that binds us to our history helping us to retain the longevity
of years across the club.
Nigel Phillips is a long term club sponsor of Aberdare
Rugby Club with his business, Heatwise. He recently
spoke to Rugby Club Magazine, saying, “I am more
of a footballing man than Rugby but I know many of
the members and players at the club as some of them
are my customers. I am very grateful to the club for the
support my business has received from them over the
years and like to give a bit back.
The club have a great reputation for producing talented
players and offering the community a great social hub
to visit. Myself and all our staff at Heatwise would like
to wish everyone associated with Aberdare RFC all the
best of continued success!”

Martin Temme’s business, Mill
Street Carpets, have been a long
term club sponsor of Aberdare RFC.
Martin recently spoke to Rugby Club
Magazine, saying, “I moved to Wales
25 years ago and became involved
with the club through friends.”
“Work commitments don’t allow me
to get down to the club as often
as I would like, plus I am a fan of
the different shaped ball also. It’s
great to hear how well all the boys
are doing down at the club. As a
company we like to support local
sport and I am aware of the excellent
work the club does within our local
community. Myself and staff at Mill
Street Carpets would like to wish
everyone at Abrerdare Rugby Club
the very best of continued success
and would encourage the players
to keep getting that ball over the try
line!”
No club can exist without the encouragement and
enthusiasm of club members, parents, volunteers and local
people who are willing to share in the Club’s succes ̸�Q���)����Ց�́�������́�ɽ���ݡ���ɽ��є�ѡ��
