TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Incorporating the Directors' Report) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MAY 2022

Chairman's Report

Yet another strange year to review the mighty Wortley Rugby Union Football Club. We managed to restart playing Rugby in September 2022, but had a lot of games cancelled due to other clubs having real problems with player retention/re-engagement.

Unfortunately, we have lost more founding members from the Executive Committee with the resignations of Tim Elliot and Nick Smart. Both have worked tirelessly in securing the funding for the works to the pitches and keeping us viable as a Rugby Club.

It’s absolutely essential that the priority given to the rugby pitches is a key item in this review. Lee Marsh has directed and driven the recovery of the pitches and we now have what must be the best pitches within the Yorkshire district.

Coming off a great recruitment drive following covid, Wortley senior team started the season with 24 registered first teamers and a number of new additions to the club. Paul Harrison took the mantle as first team coach and set too improving not just our level of play but team ethics thus, enforcing the club’s ethos of everyone plays.

With a turbulent start mainly down to a number of teams not being able to field a team in the merit league structure Wortley saw themselves facing teams all over Yorkshire.

The final league standings meant we finished 3[rd] in standing for the merit table but highlights of the season included a number of friendly results against Leeds Corinthians, Old Moor Town and the emphatic win v Stocksbridge on the last day of the season.

The game really epitomized how the team has grown and how well the team has bonded over the course of the season. With a few new recruits towards the 2[nd] half of the season Wortley saw 28 registered first teamers.

The social side of the seniors resulted in a glorious day/night session in Barnsley where early on in the proceedings the following awards were given out;

Martin Wright, player of the season , never missed a game or minute and gave everything to the club. Attending pretty much every training session and contributing to the development of the junior section also.

Best new player, Dan Trainer . Having broken his nose on his debut we worried that we may not see him return but, Dan came back with a bang, putting in hits like never before seen at Wortley and making runs any back would be proud of. A fantastic addition to the team.

Most improved, Luke Jagger . This is not Luke’s first most improved, but his game play, attitude and contribution to the club cannot be ignored. He has improved in all areas of his game moving from full back to 10 and helping raise much needed funds.

In additional to the awards a big thanks must go out to all the guys who have pitched in to the working days and contributed to the improvement of the club over the season. From washing the kit, to kitting out our new first aid room, the level of contributions has been fantastic and very much appreciated.

We have continued with Touch-Rugby throughout the past season with varying numbers. The Women’s Rugby as also recommenced and is gaining numbers weekly. Walking Rugby has also commenced on a Friday night but remains very spasmodic for numerous reasons which we will hopefully sort.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Incorporating the Directors' Report) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MAY 2022

(The following is an insert prepared by Wortley Juniors Chairman Den Plaistow).

The return to Rugby at Wortley for the 2022/2022 season has not been without its challenges. It is difficult for children of all ages to navigate such a huge change in their day-to-day circumstances, not seeing their friends and not being able to play sports and socialise. X Boxes and Playsations have been on overdrive and without exercise, children are less confident to re-engage and participate. Many clubs are reporting a significant reduction in their numbers which has resulted in teams being lost.

The pandemic has proved one thing for the Junior section at Wortley - we are resilient. Our return to rugby did not see a drop in numbers and in fact our numbers have increased. Our most recent kit order saw 110 kits being ordered which is commendable considering we are small club. We expect that we will see more by the start of the 2022/2023 season.

We have considered how we have achieved this and bow down to the commitment of the coaches who have continued to organise activities at every opportunity to keep the players at all age grades playing together as a team. Parents also play a large part in this by continuing to support Rugby at Wortley by bringing their players to the club.

During 2022/2022 season the Junior section were sponsored by four companies - Bellmayne, Enjoy Digtal, Veritas, and GSS & Sons. Their valuable contribution to the club has allowed us to continue to grow.

The Wortley website and the management of our social media has now been assumed by Rich Marshall and Martin Wright who have it running effectively which has contributed to our growing numbers. The Burger van at Wortley has continued to provide additional funding allowing for equipment for the seniors and the juniors to be purchased. The burger van has been run by a small cohort of volunteers and we, as a club cannot thank then enough for their commitment.

Our junior teams have had a healthy number of fixtures. We have played a number of new teams and have maintained our relationships with other clubs to keep the competitive aspect of rugby alive.

We now find ourselves in the position where we can say we have a Minis section (U6 - U12) and a Junior section (U13 - U15).

All of our teams have represented the club in exemplary fashion and with true warrior spirit One of the quotes from a Thorne player following a game with our u9’s team was ‘ Have they been practicing tackling trees ‘

The season has seen some great accomplishments with the U13 team completely out playing a historically formidable Dinnington team and having a very tightly contested game against Cleckheaton RUFC.

Our U14’s have been inspirational over the season. Their first Yorkshire Cup Game was drawn against West Yorkshire giants West Park, Leeds. This was perceived by many as a baptism of fire… for West Park in any case who were comfortably defeated.

The U14’s travelled to the Harrogate festival and despite not being unbeaten they were awarded the TREDS team of the tournament trophy and they also embarked on their first tour to Wellingborough where they again had a great win against a team unbeaten in the West Midlands

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Incorporating the Directors' Report) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MAY 2022

Brandon Coleman was successful in the Yorkshire DPP trials and has been selected to play for Yorkshire which is a fantastic achievement for him.

The season was rounded off with a presentation day and BBQ. This was a fantastic and well attended event and really underpins the all - inclusive family environment which makes our club.

We will face challenges over the season 2022 - 2023. Such growth will always require more volunteers and planning. Whilst we have an excellent small group of volunteers, to sustain our success we now need to grow this volunteer base.

We welcome back Bellmayne and GSS & Sons as sponsors and welcome Brebur Ltd as a new sponsor. Our volunteers are our life blood not just of the club, but for the whole game and we need to treasure them. We are so blessed as a club to have so many wonderful volunteers who work so hard on our behalf, hopefully we can attract more over the coming season.

As chairman, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who as contributed in any way to our success, and all we have achieved in this extended season in challenging times, the commitment and dedication we see at Wortley is truly inspiring, any club is only as good as its members.

Thank you all
