Testimonials
“Having represented North Walsham in the National League 2 East, I have enjoyed the set-up as it has allowed me to push my rugby to a different level. Along with this, there has been a transfer of professionalism into the UEA rugby set up and I have witnessed a transformation in culture and performance since being involved, in both teams. The partnership allowed me to earn a half colours award at UEA for playing in the National League 2 East and has also given me a good platform to build from in the future.” North Walsham bursary recipient, studying International Development with Economics.
“The link between UEA and Walsham is brilliant and has made unbelievable progress over the past two years. Personally, it has supported my playing career by exposing me to a higher level of rugby during my time at university making me a better rugby player. As a result of the professional outlook of North Walsham, this has filtered into university rugby in many different aspects; performance analysis, training facilities and standards and physio support.” North Walsham bursary recipient studying Business Management.
