Highfield FOLLOW US ONLINE twitter.com/sportinprofile backs them all the way which we do and are confident we have everything in place to continue to be successful. “Youth rugby has been hugely important in the last twenty years in Highfield. The majority of our players come through the youth structure here and I remember at one stage last year thirteen of the fifteen players who took to the field had come through our youth structure which is huge for us. “Some of the biggest challenges the club will face will be trying to keep people involved in the game when they finish playing. We need to make sure that they realise that they’re part of the club and that they’ve an awful lot more to give, whether that’s in coaching or administration because the club needs active members to flourish. We have a lot of guys that are willing to work hard here and take ownership of the place. Highfield is very much a community in itself and it has to continue to be otherwise it will cease to exist. Mary Foyle is a club sponsor of Highfield Rugby Club with her business Travel Counsellors. She recently spoke to Rugby Club Magazine, saying, “It was really through both my sons Kevin and Sean that I first became involved with the club. Both started playing as 6 year olds and now Kevin is 25 and has played number 9 for the past seven seasons. Sean has recently moved from flanker to the front row for the U20s. Travel Counsellors have sponsored the club for the last six years and we like to support the club when we can. They are a very family orientated club and the lads really enjoy being involved. Congratulations to the players, committee and everyone involved with Highfield Rugby Club on a great 2016/2017 season - best wishes for the future!” 26 “Our ambition is for the club playing competitive rugby at the highest possible level that we can. We need to make sure that we’ve got everything in place behind the scenes and it is important that everyone is enjoying their rugby here. As long as we keep the set up right then I believe everything else will fall into place and the club will continue to do well.” And discover the wonders of our world, your way... At Travel Counsellors, we believe everybody deserves their very own personal expert. So if you’re looking to explore the world in style – with a uniquely personal service – I’d be happy to help!
