POCK 7S PROUD RUGBY DAD! OP Richard Ramsden (82-88) was the proudest dad on the pitch at the OP Boxing Day rugby when he pulled on a Pocklington shirt to play alongside his son, Adam. Adam has played at the club since he was 6 years old and despite several setbacks due to injury, has progressed through the ranks to become a regular Colts player for the town side. Richard also has a long association with Pocklington RUFC as both a coach and a player. He has coached the minis and the juniors and also plays for the Pilgrims, Pocklington’s third team side. Richard said: “I can now officially retire from rugby after finally playing on the same pitch as Adam; his first senior rugby match and maybe my last... or maybe not!” Watch this space! 17
