For more information please contact John Atkin SRU Rugby1st Webmaster on: Email: [email protected] or telephone 01543 472605 RugbyFirst - the rugby database RugbyFirst is a game-wide, internet-based tool to help run rugby at all levels, with details of more than one million coaches, referees, players and volunteers held on a single system. As the RFU’s rugby database, it is useful for all club administrators and rugby officials, from Chairmen to Club Wel- fare Officers and from Club Volunteer Coordinators to Referee Society Officials. The site also holds details of all RFU affiliated clubs, and the designated RFU members within that club. Using the database search facility, it is possible to search for clubs, societies or individuals, while filtering for women’s or youth sections. A latest news section and interactive forums are in place to provide help and support, while providing a platform to discuss any RugbyFirst issues 2 Burton RFC Academy: Burton’s new approach: It’s all very easy and maybe somewhat grandiose calling yourself an ’Academy’! How does what we’re offering differ from what any other amateur club is doing? In some senses what Burton are doing is no different to other clubs. We’re just putting it all together in one package. Coaching is periodised over the year. That means our coaching plans are in place from preseason to season end and we are not just responding to match day issues. Individual players with ambition to go to higher levels About 2 years ago, Burton RFC looked at the retention all get a personal development plan and personal time and preparation of players for the senior game. allocated to an appropriate coach.

Communication is vital in the administration of any or- ganisation. Match day communication for players starts on the day after a game. The Academy has a contact line that players must text their availability to before the first weekly training session. Squad selection is based upon performance in competi- tion, commitment, and communication. Players of any age can choose to play in any team, as- suming they meet criteria set out by the RFU, their parental consent and the Academy. 3 Burton RFC Academy: Match day preparation starts between 2 and 3 hours The Academy is developing an ambitious Young Leadership (depends on competition and venue) before kick off with programme that will encourage players to take coaching all players meeting for lunch.

With most of fixtures at Step 6 and above called off because of the dreaded Coronavirus, it was down to one of the feeder leagues to get my fix today. So, not wanting to catch anything on public transport, apart from a train or two of course, I elected to drive to my game and I picked one that is, as far, as I know, very difficult to do by public transport. It took me just over two hours to get here and the ground is adjacent to the village hall, not that they really need one, as this is a very small village. The changing rooms are wooden and here I bumped into the jovial home management team, who pointed me in the direction of the local pub. After my recent experience of paying £4 for a pulled pork roll at the Hampshire FA ground, I thought that I couldn’t do any worse here. I was wrong. The chilli con carne with pasta with garlic bread (two slices) for £4.50 looked tempting and when it arrived it tasted nice. Problem was that it came in a large coffee mug! Back at the ground I mentioned this to my ‘trip advisor’ who told me, “I forgot to tell you that the food’s not very good!" Perhaps the clue was that no one came around to ask me if I was enjoying my meal, possibly because I didn't give them time, as I ate it in a few mouthfuls! Anyway, by now we were ready to go and once the rotund ref had finished off his fag the game soon got underway.

It seems a mere matter of minutes since I was invested as President by John Loynton last December. I have been very privileged to have been invited to serve as President and I have taken as full a part as my circumstances would The President allow. In a few short weeks, I will be handing over the Presidential ‘gong’ to Johnny Dugdale. I am personally delighted that he will be taking the job. He is a hard-working and valuable member of the committee. I must pay tribute to the OSA Committee. I have known members of your Committee for many years, but I had not, hitherto, appreciated the exceptional commitment and talent that goes into the running of the Association. There have been some challenges this year and many people have worked very hard to meet those challenges. It is, perhaps, unfair to single out individuals, as all make great contributions. I must, however, mention those with whom I have had the greatest interaction.

  • Mbe for Maggie Active Rugby
    August 2012 Issue 148 The Official Newspaper of The RFU and RFUW BEAUMONT MBE FOR MAGGIE Julia Hutton BECOMES England Women’s flanker Margaret Alphonsi was recently honoured with an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list. One of the most well-known names in women’s rugby, with RFU her barnstorming performances during the 2010 Rugby World Cup earning her fans all around the world, the 28 year old was honoured for her services to rugby. CHAIRMAN Making her debut as a 19 year old against the USA in 2003, Alphonsi now has an impressive 63 caps and has played in two XVs Rugby World Cups (2006 & 2010) where England finished second to New Zealand on both occasions. She also featured in the inaugural 2009 Rugby World Cup Sevens, where England lifted the Plate. Most recently, Alphonsi was part of the England team that defeated the world champions New Zealand in an historic three-Test series last autumn, as well as helping England to a record-breaking seventh consecutive Six Nations title, and a sixth Grand Slam in seven years. England also became the first team in Six Nations history not to concede a try in that tournament. “I’m so pleased to have been given this great honour by HRH, the Queen,” said Alphonsi. “What makes it so special is that it doesn’t just recognise my own personal achievements but that of the England team – I wouldn’t have received this had it not been for the hard work and dedication of the RFU and my England teammates.
