Due to a combination of circumstances, not least the alarming national trend in decreased player participation, it has been necessary to take the decision to put the Fylde Saracens ( 3rd XV ) into hibernation for the foreseeable future.
We have made representation to the committee of Halbro North West Leagues ( NOWIRUL ) outlining our need to restructure our Senior adult male sides into the following categories . We are extremely grateful that they have supported our reorganisation and thank their Committee for their understanding with this matter.
PERFORMANCE 1st XV, National 2 North.
ASPIRATIONAL 2nd XV Hawks, NOWIRUL Premier.
SOCIAL Vandals, NOWIRUL Div 3 North.
This allows for all abilities to have a platform to play the game safely and competitively according to their requirements on a regular basis . Players may move within the 3 levels depending on individual need and ability and the Club feels that in our current situation this is the optimum system to take the Club forward .
Players who have represented the Saracens will be contacted individually or in small groups by team managers/coaches to discuss their personal circumstances.
Whilst it is unfortunate that we have to take a team out of service in the medium term, this decision affords us the opportunity to redevelop the adult male element of Fylde Rugby Club. We can now move forward with a positive mindset and attract increasing numbers into the playing ranks providing a great rugby experience at a great club. It also gives us the building blocks to return to being a 4 team Club down the line.
For clarity this reorganisation will take place with immediate effect.
