Ex-coach gone West (part 2)

Earlier this month we unearthed one of our former coaches alive and well way out west - well, here's another one.

Admittedly Joe is still a familiar face at Legends Lane too, but most of the time he is in charge of a new bunch of players - Gloucestershire's county teams (Under 18s above).

And a pretty good job he is making of it too. A week ago he took his charges on the long trip to a triangular fixture in Newquay where they took on Somerset and Cornwall. His U18 squad were pretty devastating thumping Cornwall 50-0 before dismissing Somerset 32-0. Unfortunately Joe's press release doesn't mention how his U15s got on but overall Joe said that "both squads have put in some really notable performances which is really pleasing to see” so presumably they have done pretty well.

Both Joe and many of his girls now turn their attention to matters regional, with Joe manager of South West North.
