🔵🟡 One of the highlights of the AGM is presenting our Volunteer of the Year awards 🔵🟡

This year’s accolades go to Nick Browning who makes sure the club has access to the most amazing photos. His action shots and portraits are the best in the business and we’re hugely grateful for all the time and effort he puts into the club.

Our Young Volunteer of the Year is Sam Hewitt. Sam’s been supporting our U10s to develop their skills and at the same time, he’s building his own confidence and independence. He’s been out on the field in all weathers running games and drills, alongside his own rugby commitments. He’s made a huge difference to the squad and we’re very grateful for his time and dedication.

Well deserved Nick and Sam 👏🏻👏🏻💛💙
