Long serving 2nd rower Andy ‘Clock Tower’ Beal has been voted in as Club Skipper for next season. The vote was unanimous as Beal takes over from that man Adam Frith, who will continue in his capacity as player. Already looking forward to the forthcoming campaign Beal said, ‘I’m excited & honoured to lead a bunch of good lads with some real ability’, adding, ‘I appreciate all the hard work that has gone in before, & I will be doing my best to bring back the good times to the Coal Pit Lane Arena’. His Vice Captain will be young Jack ‘milky’ Martin who has shown great maturity in recent times, to be given an opportunity.
As the 1st XV squad enjoy their Summer break, the main task for Globe Holidays Sponsored Stocksbridge Rugby will be to find a new Head Coach following Andy Lawrence’s decision to step down on the back of a Touch Line Coaching ban. The Club are already receiving applications & are confident in appointing a successor.
The Club’s recent AGM was well attended, & there was little change to the make up of the committee.
