On a similar vein, there is lots of talk about pathways to rep sides. What is being done for all those boys in the 2nds, 3rds, 4ths etc to keep them playing after school. Are the Grade and Subbies clubs actively recruiting ?
As Andrew Hutton President of Lindfield Juniors said
"We need to focus on the benefit the game has to offer for everyone NOT just the rep players or A grade, these player aren’t the one leaving it’s the people such as myself who was never in a rep side, not in the 1st 15 but did play until I was 35 and have some of the best mates because of it. Even playing as poorly as I did the game gave me the opportunity to play in 4 different countries and know that regardless of where I was that community spirit and comradery of the game made me feel welcome"
