The coaching team has been finalised for the upcoming season:
Head Coach - James Clarke
Forwards Coach - Matt Hastings
2nd XV Coach - Ben Brittain
Team Manager - Padraig Lynch
Video Analysis - David Zulu
Stats Analysis - Jack Fitzpatrick
It promises to be our strongest coaching set-up for a while with James leading the senior team. James brings a wealth of experience having come through the mini and youth ranks to play and captain the 1st XV and is the club`s Director of Rugby.
Matt has joined the team and brings a new voice and experience having previously played as a flanker for Bath and held roles as Head Coach and Director of Rugby at Chingford Rugby Club.
The addition of Ben Brittain as the 2xv coach is an added bonus and he will manage the 2nds on match days and will provide crucial feedback into selection. Ben has played senior rugby at the club for several years and knows the players and our set up well.
Padraig brings his player management skills to the team, and he will help them in terms of team admin and match day responsibilities.
The addition of Jack and David will support the set-up with weekly video highlights and a stats pack for the players.
The seniors have kicked off touch rugby earlier than initially planned on Monday and Wednesday evenings (7.30pm-9.00pm) throughout June.
The official pre-season start date is Monday 3rd July.
