Rugby Club Magazine recently caught up with their Director of Rugby, Nick Williams to find out what has behind their success recently. He told us, “I first joined the club as a 6 year old (before mini rugby had been introduced) playing 15 a side on a full pitch for the Under 11’s. The club had only been formed 2 years earlier in 1968. I went on to play for all of the teams, 14 years at first team level. At the age of 30 I took up refereeing and had 20 very enjoyable years at all levels up to what is now championship level. I retired from refereeing 2 years ago and became DOR at the club.
