Club President

Letter from the President 2010-11 Season

I feel very privileged to have been asked to be president of the club this season. I have been involved with Driffield Rugby Union Football Club most of my life, playing for many years and serving as Club Captain in the 1982-83 season. I was also proud to see my son progress through the junior and colts teams from an early age before moving on to pastures new. I have now retired to the sidelines as a supporter.

I am very proud of Driffield RUFC and the way it has progressed with the building of the new clubhouse and it's excellent facilities. We must be the envy of many visiting clubs and their supporters.

I feel we have an excellent team of coaches with Bash Burdass, Greg Bone and Ces Sellar and wish them well for the coming season. Driffield RUFC is not just about the 1st XV but all the teams that turn out to represent the club each week at all levels. Whether you are a first teamer or a fourth teamer you are all valuable members of the club and I wish you all a successful season.

So finally to our visiting teams in the 2010-11 season. If it is your first visit to our club or you are a regular visitor I hope you have an enjoyable day, see a good game of rugby played in excellent spirit, with rugby being the ultimate winner.

Dave Watt
President
