Meanwhile, in a land far, far away...
Our former coach, Simon, and his assistant, Kirsten, have just got married (today by the look of it) - more pictures of the day here.
For those new to the club, Simon played prop for Letchworth 1st XV and became girls' team coach in September 2007 when Joe Randall (who now coaches Gloucestershire Girls') went off to university. He was responsible for introducing a whole vocabulary of new and colourful words and phrases and cajoled, drove, and encouraged the girls to what became (after a shaky start!) the U18s most successful season ever, with a top eight finish in the National 7s and a top five place at the National 10s.
Unfortunately Simon and Kirsten had to return to their native New Zealand at the end of the season - but those who played under them or worked with them remember their contribution to the Legends with great affection. Good luck to both of them!
