After 10 weeks of preseason training & under the newly appointed head coach Dan Cox and backs coach Will Cliff things are coming together nicely at Barracks Lane.
After getting familiar over the summer training with his large squad of players Head Coach Dan Cox and the rugby committee at Barracks Lane have elected Craig Britton as Club Captain for the coming 16/17' season.
Craig a 1st XV regular at Avonmouth has been at the club as a mini & junior, where he skippered the under15's to combination cup glory over Bristol Unicorns. He has been a part of a successful side at Avonmouth winning various promotions and cups with the club at senior level & knows what it will take if we are to return to a level we feel we deserve to play at, a brief spell at rivals Dings Crusaders saw him given the chance to represent somerset county and tour with them to France.
'Craig has a wealth of experience at 1st team level and his commitment to the team and club is second to none, that attitude is what i want rubbing off on the old and new faces we have now at Avonmouth Old Boys' said Dan Cox. Craig will be viced by last years skipper Dan Lee & Elliott Nightingale.
The 2nd XV will be managed by George Ralph assisted by Chris Jeanes and Nick Venn with a captain being decide on a weekly basis dependant on effort at training nights and match days. George who managed the clubs 3rd XV with massive success along with Jerry Male last season will be stepping up to what is believed to be a very important role within the forthcoming plans of head coach Dan Cox.
