Thirsk FOLLOW US ONLINE TWITTER.COM/RUGBYCLUBMAG Thirsk RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL CLUB Thirsk RUFC is a fine example of a well-run community establishment that plays an important role in their local community. Rugby Club Magazine recently caught up with Club Representative Anthony Garbutt to find out more about the good work that they’ve been doing lately. Involvement The Role He told us, “I’ve been playing for Thirsk for the past three seasons; I was first attracted to the club because I was keen to get back into senior rugby and Thirsk were renowned for having a very welcoming atmosphere. I wasn’t disappointed and after attending a few training sessions, was invited to take part in the first team. Neal Sargent and Jon Barr run the coaching sessions and they make a decent team. Sarge is always the one to pat you on the back or put his arm around you, Jon’s more likely to give you a roasting but I’d run through a brick wall for either of them.” “As one of the older heads in the team, I have to come to terms with the fact that there’s not too many more games left in my boots. I’ve started taking on other responsibilities including social media and trying to promote the club to people who are currently not participating in Rugby. I recently broke my leg pretty badly playing away in Wibsey and whilst I’m determined that it won’t be my last game for the club, realistically I need to start thinking about whether I can help out coaching with one of the junior teams. Certainly, the most rewarding part of being involved with Thirsk is seeing the growing enthusiasm within the Junior ranks.” U! YO 4 MOTORING just...

With the senior team, I have to say the mood is one of frustration. We’ve had a run of poor results and whilst we’ve been playing well, it hasn’t resulted in as many points as we would have liked.”
