Jason Roberts is Drybrook RFC’s Mini and
Junior Chairman. He recently told Rugby Club
Magazine, “My dad David who has sadly passed
away now was instrumental in helping develop
the club’s mini and junior rugby section. My dad’s
brothers, Roger and Adrian, both played for the
club; Adrian was a captain back in the 60s. I have
played through the ranks myself from going along
to the club as a four year old, through senior
rugby and now the vets. My son Lucas plays for
the U8s and my daughter Anastasia also played
although her interest has turned to gymnastics for
the time being. “Myself and Chis Rawlings started the kittens
on a Sunday morning for three year olds which
is going really well and is more about keeping
the kids happy, connection with one another and
development than rugby but is a great stepping
stone to the minis.
Craig Lancett has had a long and positive
association with Drybrook RFC, starting in the
clubs mini section as a five year old. He also
sponsors the club with his business Lancett & Co.
He recently told Rugby Club Magazine, “I grew
up fifty metres from the club and a few years on
from my mini and junior days (with a large gap in
the middle) I still play 3rd team and vets rugby for
Drybrook - always in the tight head prop position.
The third team has had a very good season just
gone, winning their league before the reconstruct
in January and ultimately finishing 2nd in the newly
formed league completed this year. for Drybrook and although Molly and Freddie
no longer play, Max and Ava are still very much
enjoying their rugby. Unlike their dad, Max, who is
12 years old and exceptionally quick and a great
athlete over 200 metres, looks like a very good
winger and Ava who is 9 and also exceptionally
quick will hopefully be a star of a future ladies
side.
“I believe mini and junior rugby is the life blood of
most clubs and certainly is the case for Drybrook
Rugby Club. I would like to thank parents, players,
coaches and members for their ceaseless support
and wish everyone continued fun and success!”
