This is my 3rd season with the club and I am pleased to skipper the Mustangs in the forthcoming campaign.   I would like to thank Nick and Laurence for all their hard work over the past 3 years. They have brought on many Mustang players who have eventually gone on to play with the 1st XV.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Andy Foley as our head coach to the club. I am looking forward to his training sessions and developing the already close link between the 1st and 2nd’ XVs. We return with Fin ‘the bomber’ Davis as our coach. He is becoming quite the force in the warm ups and developing our teams technical skills.   I am looking forward to his input and analysis of our games. To complement our management structure both Catherine Grundy and Anna Rooke our physio team will be on hand to sooth the players knocks and bruises over the season.

This season will see us playing in the Invicta Division 2 and we will be looking to blood our youngsters in with the more experienced players to get our hands on some silverware this season.   For this to happen we must train as a squad and socialise as a squad.   Training is happening on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the club. So bring your boots and come down.

Here’s to an enjoyable and successful session both on and off the pitch.
