Both my brothers Matt and Richard played for the club and this was not an unfamiliar sight amongst our players with many groups of brothers and cousins taking to the field over the years. My company Brotherwood is also a club sponsor and I have always liked to help out when asked. “I get down to the club when I can although game shooting is my hobby at certain times of the year. I would like to congratulate everyone associated with Crewkerne Rugby Club on such a fine season. It’s great to see the boys back up in the Premier League where they belong and with the changing face of rugby over the years I would urge everyone to keep looking for that passion which is so important for enjoyment of our sport; this combined with the necessary hard yards needed to achieve success. The friends I have made through rugby are life long and I am, as always, very proud to be a member of Crewkerne Rugby Club!”
