As they leave our senior coaching team, we wish to extend a huge thank you to both Ben Pocock and Phil Cohen for their contributions to our club.

Ben Pocock is stepping down from coaching this season after heading our 3rd and 4th teams. He initially joined us in 2017, starting first with the 3rd XV before moving to the 2nd XV, where he oversaw the squad promotion to L7. His dedication and support across all the senior sides have been invaluable.

 

 

Phil Cohen is also stepping away from the seniors but will continue coaching with the Bassett Ravens. We want to thank Phil for his support both as a player and as a coach for the senior section. Phil helped captain the 3rd XV and played a crucial role in re-establishing the 4th XV over the past two seasons, both as a coach and a player.

 

 

We deeply appreciate their efforts and commitment, which have significantly contributed to the overall success and growth of our club. Thank you, Ben and Phil!
