Bailey keen on 'DO'

THE island's team of development officers is set to take in an eighth sport.

Rugby is keen to follow in the footsteps of squash – who showed the way – athletics, football, cricket, hockey, table tennis and badminton. It's vital for the sport's progress,' said first-XV skipper Andy Bailey (pictured).

'This is the most important step forward in the club's history. To keep moving forward, developing local talent and rugby across the island not just at youth and school level, this is a crucial position.'

GRUFC chairman Adie Le Page said that while it had only recently advertised the post, the club had been working towards it 'for the last two or three years'.
