About the team

Men's 2nd XV

The men who run the 2nd XV: co-captains Peter Mitchell, Kirk Kenyon and Jamie Taylor, and team manager Sam Cheesman.
The men who run the 2nd XV: co-captains Peter Mitchell, Kirk Kenyon and Jamie Taylor, and team manager Sam Cheesman.

The 2nd XV is about having fun playing rugby. It's very much a social side, and the Saturday doesn't end at the final whistle.

It's also a side where people develop. If you're new to the game, coming back after a few years off, or working towards the 1st XV, this is where you get the games and learn the game.

More than anything, though, it's there so people enjoy themselves. If that sounds like you, come down to training and say hello.
