Kent rugby is thriving says president Corry

When it comes to rugby, Kent might not be the first county that comes to mind compare to the Midlands or the Western Counties. However, Kent County Rugby president David Corry insists “club rugby in Kent is thriving, which is very encouraging for the future.”

He said: “There are around 60 rugby clubs in Kent including no less than 5000 members in both the minis and the juniors sections around the county. Even women’s rugby is picking up since England’s performance last year in the World Cup in England where they narrowly lost to New Zealand in the final.

“We are trying to get as many people playing the game as we can and once they do, we want to make sure they are in the best environment to keep them playing for as long as possible and to their full potential.”
