Sheppey Rugby Club to stay in Kent 1
Sheppey Rugby Club head coach Frank Davis (pictured) believes
his players will be better equipped for life in Kent 1 this season
after being given a reprieve from relegation.
The Island side finished in the relegation places last season
but league restructuring means they will remain in Kent 1 -
something Davis welcomed despite last season’s on-field
problems.
He said: "I’m pleased because it’s the standard of rugby that we
should be playing and the difference in Kent 1 is the
consistency.
"In Kent 2 we would probably have two or three hard games and
the rest would be non-contests. As a coach and a player, what you
strive towards is playing at a consistent level and hopefully we
can go and build on that platform.
"They players have had that experience now and they’ll know what
to expect. We’ve done the hard work last year and now we can reap
the benefits."
Sheppey’s pre-season starts on Tuesday, July 14. Training takes
place on Tuesday and Thursday nights at the Ditch from 7.30pm and
anyone who wants to get involved are welcome to join. Pre-season
matches include a triangular tournament with Sittingbourne and
Medway and trips to New Ash Green and Charlton Park.
