Our wonderful coaches Stu and Kenny joined the team for the beginning of the 2009-2010 season. They have many beliefs within the sport of rugby, with their main aim of everyone enjoying themselves. They know when to have game heads on and when to have a giggle, which is very important. Not going to lie, we are a difficult bunch of girls to coach, but Stu and Kenny know exactly how to work with us / against us when it comes to sprinting drills for fitness...
A huge thank-you goes out to these two guys from the whole club, they are an amazing pair of coaches and work tremendously well together... We wouldn't of been as successful in the previous League without them, now let's see if they can work their magic now we have been promoted!!
