out for all three senior sides, have a
successful Colts team and increase
numbers within the Mini and Youth
teams.
We also now run a Ladies XV
who entered the leagues for the first
time last season and are still looking
for their first league win - this will
hopefully come this season. We
also hope that the Girls teams will
increase in numbers to the extent
that each age group (U13, U15 and
U18) can play in some matches.
The club had a good tour to
Gibraltar in May and has been on
tour now for many seasons thanks
to our 3rd XV skipper Steve Harney
who is also the key driver behind
each years tour.
We also enjoy hosting touring
sides at the club across all ages.”
Last Season
“After the disappointment of
the previous season with the 1st
XV being relegated, also pushing
the 2nd XV down a level, to bounce
back at the first attempt is good for
the club. We have also manged to
introduce a number of young players
which should help the club in the
“I first watched Swanage and Wareham Rugby
Club about six years ago when I was invited by my
accountant Peter. The rugby was a good standard
and everyone at the club was very friendly. I already
knew half a dozen members from my days in Wareham
Round Table.
As a young man I played football but quickly
became a rugby convert and now describe myself
as a “rugby nut”. I am a VIP member at Swans and
have jointly sponsored a home game each season for
each of the past five seasons. At Swans you can get
close to the action and the post-match deliberations
in the clubhouse are always enjoyable. Visiting teams
frequently comment how much they enjoy playing
away at Swans.
I also support Exeter Chiefs, so have been lucky
enough to see them play at Twickenham in the
Premiership finals in each of the last three seasons.
My goal is to visit every ground in the Premiership with
my friend Martin who is a Gloucester fan. We travelled
to Limerick in February to watch Munster narrowly
defeat Exeter Chiefs and this coming season we hope
to watch Rochelle host Gloucester.
Whoever you support and wherever you watch
rugby the camaraderie is unbeatable.
Good luck to Swans for the 2019/2020 season.”

next few years. Indeed the success
of last season was built upon young
players establishing themselves in
the 1st XV and filling gaps left by
the old guard. The main aim will be
to build playing numbers across all
teams, age groups and gender now.”
Youth
“Youth development is very
important to the club - it is what the
club has been built on. Regularly the
1st XV will have 13-14 players who
have come through from M&Y, Colts
into the Senior sides in its match day
