Royal Wootton Bassett RFC is pleased to announce the club's new team captains ahead of the 2019/20 season.

This year the 2nds will be led by Ben Wilkinson (left). The Hooker has showed strong leadership since joining us from Devizes RFC last season, and is looking forward to leading the squad and supporting our young players pushing for 1st XV rugby. 

Ben will be supported by Mike Roshier (right) as 2nd XV Vice Captain. Mike has been a consistent performer since moving up from the Colts to the senior sides. He has progressed all the way up through the Minis to the senior squad playing as Back Row/Scrum Half.

Captain: CHRIS PREEDY / Vice Captain: RICH GOSLING
