Head Coach Annoucement
I would like to advise the membership that our Head Coach Chris Waring will be leaving the club at the end of this season. We are proud as a club to have given Chris his first opportunity at Senior Rugby as a Head Coach and he has rewarded us with a huge contribution to the success of the current 1st XV over the last 4 years and our massive thanks go to Chris for everything he has done for the club during that time. We wish him well in his next Rugby adventure.
Peter Jones – Chairman
