Civil Service Rugby is on the rise and looking for new recruits at all levels and abilities to help bolster their ranks for the current season. As well as two young Senior sides and a flourishing Mini section with over 100 participants, Service has now introduced a Youth section which will hopefully filter players into the Senior section in the not too distant future.
Established in 1922, Service boasts some of the best sporting facilities and Clubhouse in the Province and arguably two of the best playing surfaces in the country along with an excellent social scene and restaurant, at the Maynard Sinclair Pavilion in the Stormont Estate, Dundonald, Belfast.
The Seniors train on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6.30 – 8.30pm and play in the Kukri Qualifying and Junior Leagues on Saturday afternoons. The Senior Club is keen to progress out of these leagues and re-establish itself as a rugby force to be reckoned with and with a talented young squad, hope to get things moving in that direction this season.
The newly formed Youth section also train on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6.30 – 8.30pm and play their games in the Youth Leagues on Saturday mornings from 11am. Players from all schools will be very welcome to come along and help get the new Youth section off to a flying start.
The Minis (boys and girls) train every Saturday from 10am to 11am for the P1 to P3s and 10am until 11:30 for the P4 to P7s and are considering hosting a Mini Festival probably around March or April 2013. They also plan to tour Scotland in April 2013.
All new players will be very welcome and you don’t have to be a Civil Servant to join. You can make contact through the Club website at www.civilservicerugbyclub.co.uk, or just turn up at the various training sessions, we are open to new members all year long and look forward to seeing you there.
