The under 11s club player of the month is Jacob Chamberlain

Jacob has been a long serving member of Bournemouth rugby club, joining the team several years ago when it was all about tag rugby. We could see from a young age that Jacob was fearless and would thrive in the club and rugby culture here at Bournemouth rugby.

Since we have progressed into contact rugby he has grown in confidence, skill level and determination to take on all the coaching points our team of coaches have given him. It is a great attribute of Jacobs that he will try and put into practise all the feedback he receives. You see this in the drills, the training sessions and matches that Jacob takes part in. Watching Jacob develop into the rugby player and young man he is is a testament to his dedication to listen and improve. He is fearless in the tackle and is often seen putting big tackles in on players who might be a bit bigger but 99% of the time Jacob comes out the winner. You will often find Jacob at the bottom of a maul or ruck but he always has a smile of his face when he is getting back into position.

He is a credit to our age group, our great club, his parents, Leigh and Michelle who drive him around to all our fixtures and training but most importantly he is a credit to himself.

Keep up the good work Jacob, you can be very proud of the player you are becoming.
