Michael Driver steps aside

Michael Driver has had to step down as chairman at Seaton Carew RUFC, in order to focus on things away from rugby.

'I've had a good few months in the role and found it to be an enormous challenge, one which I've had incredible support in from a fantastic committee and coaching and playing staff''

'Unfortunately the standpoint in my personal life has changed and I can't commit the time and effort that this role deserves

'If anyone is reading this, thinking that this will have an affect on the enormous progress that we have made this year, then your sadly mistaken, SCRUFC will continue to grow and blossom under the current committee and Ben Glaister Smith as coach'
