HAVING just read K Holder’s letter concerning the lack of depth in clubs, and the amount of teams they run, can I give a mention to my club Bury St Edmunds. A small market town, we put out four men’s teams on a weekly basis.
Our women’s team are at Level 2, as well as men’s teams at level 3 and 6, which I understand is almost unique in club rugby to operate at this level. We have a thriving youth section, feeding both men’s and women’s sections, and a huge mini set up.
No sugar daddy, no “loan” players from the Prem, just a club...
