Lincoln
At Duncan & Toplis we are great believers in supporting the local community and Lincoln Rugby Club
is such an organisation that we are delighted to be involved with. The ethos of rugby is built around
values that reflect our own here at the firm; we work together as a team, we respect our colleagues
and we enjoy what we do.
We have been sponsoring the club since 2013 and it is fantastic to have seen the club go from strength
to strength during that time.
We would like to congratulate the team on their promotion and wish them every success next season.

XV have pitted their wits in a higher
division. Although it hasn’t always gone
their way, the third team continue to
battle well and have given some of the
younger players a great introduction to
rugby.
The Lincoln Ladies also deserve a big
mention. Even though they are not as
high in the league as the previous season
they continue to do the club proud. Their
numbers are continuing to grow and it is
great to see more and more women and
girls interested in taking up rugby.
Youth rugby is majorly important to
the club. If the senior sides are going to
continue to develop it is crucial to have
a good juniors and minis section. All
players retire at some point so developing
players from a young age helps to build
great foundations for the future and I
know the coaches will work closely to
help achieve this.
The juniors and minis sides are
making excellent progress this season,
including the Under-15s having reached
the NLD Shield Final. The club is
restructuring its junior section so they
can train alongside the older players to
aid their transition into the senior game.
The future continues to look bright for
the young talent coming through at the
club.
Although the season is coming to a
close there is still plenty of hard work to
be done. The coaching staff will already
be starting to think about pre-season and
