“The most rewarding parts of being Head Coach are
seeing players from 17 to 50 enjoying their rugby
week in, week out and giving you 100% effort and
dedication because you are prepared to give them
some of your time. We have one player, Stefan
Highton, who started playing senior rugby for the
club in the 1980s, his desire, commitment and
fitness levels are still amongst the highest in our
group and that helps drive us all on.
The most challenging parts are to try and spend
enough time outside of the training and game
time to ensure you are organised and prepared
on and off the field to keep producing a quality
environment to keep players, club volunteers,
sponsors etc. supporting the club. This takes a lot
of communication which is difficult when in amateur
rugby you so spend so little time together.”
Everyone at the club has worked hard to build a
positive atmosphere as Chris explained, “Over the
last few years the club has really strengthened on
and off the field and there are a lot of developments
which have seemed to get the backing of whole club
and there is a lot of positive energy around. This
has resulted in many new programmes and projects
being completed. I am so glad to be part of this as
the club has experienced some really tough times
since moving to its new ground and a small group
of die-hard club officials have kept the club going
and now deserve some time to enjoy a club which is
bouncing.”
