Coach Tom Aherne took his first training session of the new season on Thursday at RMD. Whilst putting the lads through their paces, Tom also found time for a little team bonding and fun! It was great to see new faces and returning players. If you think you have been away from rugby for too long to get your boots back on, have a chat with Andy Burton - He last played TWELVE YEARS ago but came along on Thursday to start getting back into it - his words on Friday 'I am feeling it now but I actually really enjoyed it!' Be like Andy Burton - dig out those boots and join us for season 2026 -27!
Training next week will start at 7pm and will be at Witherley Club
