A message from Sion
WELCOME TO…CAE DDOL!
Firstly, I’d like to offer you all a warm welcome to the home of Clwb Rygbi Rhuthun.
Today wouldn’t be possible without the fantastic support of one of our great North Wales rugby clubs; the club and its community have all pulled together to host today’s fixture, which will I’m sure be a great success both on and off the field.
With relegation/promotion being reinstated between the Premiership and Championship this season, there is a huge amount for every team involved to play for.
Building on the successes of 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons both on off the field, RGC and The North Wales Rugby Development Region have set a number of goals and promises for the upcoming 2018/19 season.
These goals have been set to continue the positive development of the brand of rugby the region wants to be recognised and respected for.
If we can deliver on these goals and ambitions over the 2018/19 season, we will enjoy a successful and rewarding season. This isn’t just about saying we will win the league or avoid relegation; this has to be about much more than this. North Wales is on a journey, and we must stay on track and be honest to our values and DNA. Positivity creates success, and with this in mind we have intentionally placed positivity at the heart of everything we do for the season ahead.
#1 DISCIPLINE
TO BE THE MOST DISCIPLINED TEAM IN THE LEAGUE AND CUP COMPETITIONS.
#2 DEFENCE
TO DEFEND OUR HOUSE (even Cae Ddol) WITH A RUTHLESS EDGE.
#3 ACCURACY
TO PLAY WITH SPEED, INTENSITY, POSITIVITY, ENJOYMENT AND SCORE THE MOST POINTS IN THE LEAGUE.
#4 ENVIRONMENT
STRIVE TO PROVIDE THE BEST RUGBY ENVIRONMENT POSSIBLE TO SUPPORT THE CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT OF NORTH WALES RUGBY.
The pre-season build-up has been positive with a number of good performances, but today we welcome Neath RFC which promises to be an altogether different challenge.
Thank you all for your continued support.
Enjoy the match.
