Chris Wooding and Chris Duck will be Joint Head Coaches for next season. Both Chris’ are already heavily involved with coaching at the Club - 'Wooding' makes the transition to Colts after being head coach of our successful U16s and 'Ducky' continues his tenure with the Colts squad. The club wishes them every success in this step-up.

To Support them, Steve Grainger will remain with the age group as Ops Manager alongside James Perkins, Dai Harries and Matt Gordon as coaches for next season.

As part of our Player Pathway programme, ‘Wooding’ and ‘Ducky’ will stay aligned with Club DoR, Chris 'Deno' Denoven (too many Chris’s!) on what the Senior teams require from the Colts going forward.

A huge thanks to Dave 'Smudge' Smith, Finn Allen and Ben Brock for their efforts over the last few season – we are pleased to say that they are all continuing with the club next season, moving to the Senior setup.

We also wish to thank Gareth Beynon, Matt Rawlinson, Sarah Palfreyman and Joe Derillo for their part in the successful Under 16’s group this season...and, in some cases, for many years before.

More announcements soon on the Ladies team coaching setup for next season…
