<p><div class="center u-text-center">A new season, with new aims. After a tough 2016/17 season, in which the team finished a comfortable 9th after being under pressure for a the majority of the season, the team are aiming to build. Stow showed great potential throughout the season, with some fantastic performances and some very unlucky results. This year with renewed confidence and team spirit, we are looking to build towards the top of the table. </p><p>A step up in preparation and team play lead by our new coach Larry Cummins (1st team coach) and Andrew Cartlidge (Director of rugby), coupled with an exciting squad of players stands the team in good stead for both massive improvement and a serious tilt towards the top of the league. We are an ambitious team, with a competitive 1st and 2nd team, however our main emphasis is on enjoyment, both through playing exciting rugby and a socially active family orientated atmosphere.</p><p>Training runs every Tuesday and Thursday from 7 O’clock, with food provided afterwards on a Thursday night. Both sessions offer something different and are open to all who would like to attend.</p><p>We’re looking to build something special as a group and a club, the team is all about standing shoulder to shoulder with your mates, going hard on the pitch and enjoying a beer after, whilst being part of a great club.</p><p>All ages and abilities are welcome to come training and we look forward to seeing you all there!</p><p>Pre-season kicks off on the 6th July.</p><p>James Holmes 1st XV Captain 07717376635</p><p>Dan Salvage 1st XV Vice Captain 07712175983</p><p>Larry Cummins 1st XV Coach 07909542673</p><p>Andrew Cartlige Director of Rugby 07910734013 </div><br><div class="center u-text-center"></div></p>
