Stothert & Pitt RFC are keeping things in the family for the 2010 – 11 season campaign in the Somerset Premier league with Ben Withey taking over the club captaincy from Liam Crooks who completed three seasons at the helm.
Ben’s dad Steve has moved into the club hot seat as head coach assisted by Jamie Knocker, who retired from playing at the end of last season, and there has excellent turn outs for the pre season training sessions at Corston on Tuesday and Thursday nights – 6.30pm for another campaign in the Somerset premier league that start with a home fixture against Weston Hornets
The second XV will again be in Somerset Division3 north and Paul Thurston continues for a second spell as 2nd XV captain and have a first match at home against Cheddar who return to league rugby after a number of years absence. The 3rd XV will play non league friendly fixtures.
