This year’s Romsey RFC Summer Camp took place at Ganger Farm under blue skies and a very hot sun. The 86 young players and 7 international coaches had to drink a great deal of water and apply equal quantities of sun cream during the course of the three days. It was exhausting, but the smiles and laughter showed that everyone was having fun.

The boys and girls were treated to some specialist coaching by such rugby names as Thinus Delport and Stuart Corsar. Thinus is well known to rugby fans as a pundit on BT Sport, and was a Springbok international. Stuart played for Glasgow and now works in the Scotland Women’s coaching team.
Andy Barlow, the coaching coordinator, thoroughly enjoyed his second year at the Romsey camp, saying that “the energy, skills and smiles on the pitch have been fantastic”

The camp’s success was also enjoyed by the Romsey coaches, who learnt as much as the players. Peter Jones, who is part of Romsey RFC’s Community Outreach team, said that the camp showed that “the club is ambitious and committed to growing the game.”
