Sadly one of our managers has stepped down from his managers role for the under 12’s. Glen Johns has worked tirelessly for this team over the years but due to pursuing his passion for rugby, he has now started to coach rugby regularly. He will be greatly missed.

On a happier note, we are pleased that two dads have come forward to take on the new Under 9 team. They are Chris Haxell and Paul Barnes. We would like to welcome them to the club and wish them every success for the upcoming season.

We would also like to thank Andy Green from Andigestion for donating over £1000 to the Youth Teams. With this money we have been able to buy much needed training equipment for the teams and managers.

We would like to thank all our managers for their dedication to the Youth Teams, without their time, skill and patience we would not have such a thriving and successful youth group.
Everyone who gives their time to the Youth Teams are a credit to the organisation, we are proud to have such a wonderful lifeline for the future.

There will be photos of the presentation to follow shortly
