Felixstowe “I first joined the club as a few of my friends were there and started to play for them as a loose head prop in the early nineties. I am still attached to the club socially and have also sponsored them for the last few years – it is nice to be able to give something back. The camaraderie at the club is incredible and there is a lot of hard work going on behind the scenes by the committee. The new clubhouse is a key ingredient to push forward and I’m really looking forward to next season. It is great to see how far the club has come and I wish them the best of luck for the future.

I then played against Felixstowe and got chatting with people at the club and joined as it saved travelling. My sons, Ben and Alex, both now play for the club with Alex looking like he will be a nine or a ten and I have also sponsored the club for six years. The whole collective is fantastic for everyone involved; this is a really family friendly club with the benefits of rugby being shown to boys and girls. The seniors did absolutely brilliantly and the active youth programme has given the club more intimacy. I’ve coached for the past five seasons and was proud to play back in the 90’s when we won the league. I really enjoy having the chance to help with coaching with the emphasis being on having fun whilst building on the core values of rugby. Rugby helps assist in turning children in to adults with dis cipline and teamwork and I hope to be involved with Felixstowe for many years to come.” Shaun Allen, Pentalver Pentalver is widely considered the UK’s leading provider of container-related services.
