1st XV CAPTAIN👣🐏
We are excited to share our 1st XV captain for the upcoming season as Fred Thefaut. With his notable facial feature and unwavering (unrequited) commitment, let’s hope he gains the respect of current and future teammates before losing it all on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nights.

He will be aided on the pitch by VC Charles Sinclair (is that a demotion already?) as this duo look to lead the club to a league, cup and roses treble.

We wish them and the squad the best of luck for the 2026/27 season.
