Sheffield Tigers The Personnel “Andy Barnes is the club captain and is leading us for the third season. ‘Barnesy’ is a top notch back row player, previously at Rotherham Titans and is Robshaw - like in that he is comfortable playing across the whole back row. Our head coach is Ben Wade who is ex-Rotherham Titans and a feared back rower until very recently. Ben is in his first season with us having taken over after our first match this year when Steve Salvin left for a post at Worcester Warriors with the club’s best wishes and thanks. Richard Selkirk is our vice chair playing and played number 8 for us, Titans and Yorkshire and oversees the rugby side of the club. Dave ‘Stinger’ Holmes is a Yorkshire legend as a scrum half who won England ‘B’ (Saxons as they would be now) caps and played numerous times for Yorkshire alongside other legends such as Alan Old. Stinger looks after the 2nd XV and has been helped this year by Richard Senior who was a 10 for Tigers for many years.” Facilities “The club was formed in 1932 and has been playing at Dore Moor for most of that time. We have three full size pitches, one being floodlit, plus an area covering one and a half pitches which has been used in the past for younger junior teams. At present, the possibility of an artificial training area on the site is being explored. We see greater use of the clubhouse for functions and community groups as vital to the future of the club, and are investigating options to fund and increase the available space Sheffield Orthopaedics Limited World class orthopaedic healthcare We treat all sporting injures and general orthopaedic complaints SOL was started in 2004 by 12 Sheffield surgeons each at the forefront of their profession with a belief in locally provided quality in health care.
