Here’s a few words from Old Pats Captain Charlie Maker.

“The main reason I would say to join pats is the family environment we have created. At this club everyone is welcomed with open arms all ages and ability.

We have a brilliant coaching setup with Ex Player Chris Raymond as Head Coach. Harry Elrington ex Gloucester Player as our forwards coach. Doug Simpson Ex player as our backs coach. These amazing coaches have been helping us come away some big results last year and setting the foundations for a new challenge this season.

We are planning on having a massive year, competing at all angles from the league to the national cup and combi cup. This is for the whole club not just the 1XV’s”

🏆 Young Player of the Season 🏆

A huge congratulations to Alex Moore on being named our Young Player of the Season 👏

After stepping up from Colts at the beginning of the season, Alex has become a regular feature in the 1st XV and has shown maturity, commitment and quality well beyond his years. A brilliant example of the pathway from Colts into senior rugby at Old Pats 💜

When asked about the transition from Colts rugby into the senior setup, Alex said:

“Moving up from Colts into the senior squad was always a bit scary, and I tried to put it off in preseason just because a couple of my mates didn’t go. When it got to late August I started to go as there was boys there that I knew and it was a good craic which ended up in me turning up week in week out.

Since then the older lads have been nothing but welcoming and bonded with everyone over the year on and off the pitch. Playing with the lads with such experience for the club really opened me up to what it was all about, playing for the club.

It’s been a great opportunity for me to carry on my journey at Old Pats which is now more than 16 years, and I’m very much looking forward to what’s to come!”

Any current Colts players or anyone looking for a new club ahead of next season are more than welcome to come down and get involved in preseason training. The pathway into senior rugby is here waiting 💪

Great to see Nathan & Doug representing Old Pats at the SoGlos Lifestyle and Community awards tonight.

Thank you to everyone who voted for us as sports team/club of year💜
