Present
“The club was disappointed to go
down last last season, so everyone has
worked hard on and off the field for the
club to make it a better rugby club and
we were rewarded with promotion.
We start preseason shortly and the
plan is to get good numbers and their
families down to the club over the
summer and continue the youth and
senior links.”
Youth
“Youth rugby is hugely important
to the club. I, as Director of Rugby,
have seen every age group from under
7 upwards last season. Some age
groups have huge numbers and are
thriving. Others needed a bit of help
with coaching or recruitment in local
schools. The start-up of a Colts side this
season is key to keeping the youth and
feeding them into our senior structure.”
Community
“We keep working on getting our
badge out in the community. Coaching
in local schools is a big part of it as well
as having local companies involving
themselves in the maintenance of the
club and sponsorship. We are going
to give the club a lick of paint this
summer, but we are very lucky to have
the facilities we do at hale RFC.”
Challenges/Ambitions
“It is important for us to keep the
success the club has going. The youth
section could do with some numbers
in certain age groups, but the players,
coaches and parents are fantastic.
Keeping a Colts side is always a hard
task, but essential to keeping our
players in the club and feeding through
to the first team.
We are targeting in the coming years
maybe one more league promotion
maybe as a goal the club and players
look for using this time. The minimum
aim is sustaining what we have and
developing it.”
