A message from our Chair - David Durbin

I hope you are all enjoying this World Cup as much as I am. So much rugby to watch almost on a daily basis. It’s heaven! We now of course getting to the business end and the matches will be more evenly matched. Good also to see the Ladies and the Wheelchair’s now entering the fray. Can England make it to the final, your guess is as good as mine! Closer to home, what a fantastic turnout to welcome our new Club Board. The evening was informative and in parts entertaining. There is clearly a lot of work to do for the Board and us ALL in getting behind the changes needed to move the Club onwards and upwards. The new signings are a good start and show that there will be no letting up in the attempt to get us right at the top of our league again next season. Thank you for renewing memberships and entering the match day dining competition on the evening and of course the auctions went very well too, more proceeds for the Club! These are of course along with the Fantasy League that is available on our website. Also there will be some one off winter jackets available at silly prices and if local, the delivery will be free! Next year of course is the big one, our 150th year and planning has already started for this so there will be plenty to enjoy and support. More details coming soon.

Panthers Wheelchair Team

We were recently proud to present the wheelchair team with a donation of £100 to go towards a new wheelchair for some up and coming recruits. Malcolm Kielty has said that the initial target was to raise £1500 but the current total stands at £6800!! What an incredible response and this will hopefully go some way to supporting this is amazing sport!
