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 .
“ 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 .”
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 !”
