This weekend will see 5 Bournemouth Rugby players make the squad for Bath Under 17’s as the take on Harlequins. Andrew Eary, Adam Dew, Rory Crum are in the starting XV, Ryan Woodford is on the bench and Ollie Vincent is the travelling reserve. No other club is represented within the Bath academy with 5 players from one team for the match. We are incredibly proud of all 5 boys for their achievement to make the squad.
Steve Eary Father to Andrew he has had the opportunity this week to watch them all train at Farleigh House yesterday. ‘’Its great to see all of them train. I have said it before to Greg, but he must be immensely proud to think he helped 4-5 boys to that level. And especially my lad who got there is such a short space of time due to Gregs time and taking a chance on him. As he didn’t have a clue 4 years ago what a rugby ball was.’’
The opportunity of a pathway that the players take to further their rugby careers is down to their hard work and dedication as a player and the hard work and dedication that all our youth team coaches and managers put into their teams. It goes beyond just turning up up to train players, it arranging games, planning sessions, individually looking at players and seeing how they can be developed and development of the whole team and attending CPD’s and courses to further their own development to be able to pass the skills onto the players.
