RC: You are having a great season and
some recent big wins - what do you
think is making this season go so well?
JR: Consistency in the squad for the
past three seasons has helped us develop
as a team. The enthusiasm for the players
and coaches to improve every week has
been a clear standout. Our team ethos is
based on working harder than any other
team on and off the pitch; this allows us
to be better prepared to grind out the
close wins and builds confidence within
the group.
RC: How do you think Guernsey rugby
has changed over the last few years?
JR: From a first-team perspective,
we have created a more professional
approach to the way we train and prepare
for games, we do a lot of analysing on
other teams and referees which gives us
important insight to how we should be
playing each week. On top of that, we
have formed a really competitive squad
of players who are driven to succeed.
Our aim is not just to develop them as
players, but as people in general, with
strong leadership skills.
RC: Do you think there is more of a
community now? Are people getting
more involved and supporting more?
JR: The rugby community in
Guernsey is definitely growing, with
over 450 children now registered with
the Guernsey Rugby Academy and
feeding into our 3 adult teams (2 men’s
and 1 ladies) and many more volunteers,
sponsors and supporters involved.
The team wear their shirts with pride
each week as they represent the whole
Guernsey rugby community and the
island as a whole.
Born out of Professional Consultation requirements for expansion into a new market,
Castle Crest bases itself around the provision of Financial, Commercial and IT Consultation

David Daks is a club sponsor
with his company and recently
told Rugby Club Magazine,
“I have sponsored the club
for three years now; I first
sponsored Hunslet Club
Parkside after my brother-
in-law, Christopher Boyce,
started playing for them. Chris
now coaches the Under 10s
and sits on the rugby club
committee and I’d like to wish
them the best of luck for the
future.”
Ben Ferbrache of Fletcher Sports
told us, “We’ve sponsored
Guernsey for around five years
now having first got involved when
they approached us at the time
they signed gilbert to the club
as kit providers. It is great to see
them doing well; they are keeping
their players and have a deep
squad now. I’d encourage them to
keep going and if they do I’m sure
promotion is just around the corner.
I’d also like to take this opportunity
to thank you for your support over
the years.”
