We’re thrilled to announce that Fly Half Rory Pond steps up as our new 1st Team Captain after a successful tenure as Vice Captain. Rory’s leadership on and off the field has been nothing short of exceptional.

In the back row, Chris Milburn will continue as 1st XV Vice Captain for the 24/25 season. Chris exemplifies hard work and dedication, making him the ideal choice to support our team’s success.

Adam Owen will remain at the helm as 2nd XV Captain. Adam’s leadership, coupled with the respect and trust he’s cultivated within the squad, makes the Bees stronger than ever, driving us to continually improve.

We’re also excited to have Paul Evans continue as 2nd XV Vice Captain. Paul’s passion and intensity from start to finish make him an invaluable leader on the field.

Finally, Ricky Alford, our versatile utility player who can cover nearly every position, will continue to be a key part of our leadership group as Club Captain. Ricky’s deep understanding of the game and clear vision for our team’s success will help elevate standards across both teams.

The second team will also have management support from Joe Hunt and Adam Mullen now on board. Their logistical assistance from the sideline will strengthen our team, raising our hopes of challenging for the league title!

Head coach Josh Biggs continues in role along the support of 1st XV Team Manager and Backs Coach Ben Linnett.

We spoke to our team Manager Ben Linnett for his thoughts on our leadership group following this announcement. “it's the start of another exciting year for the club, and who better to lead the sides than the team of guys that proved so successful last year. I am confident the addition of the 2ndXV management, and the change up in the 1stXV roles will keep us moving in the right direction and continue on their success. I look forward to working with this group over the coming year"
