Pogue Mahon’s Player of the Match v Southwold

Posted on by
Our Pogue Mahon’s Player of the Match in the game against Southwold was a tough one as there were several worthy candidates, but sponsor Stuart Burrell of Heritage Wills, chose Joe Mynhardt for an excellent all round game.
Apart from the bottle of Jameson’s, Joe also gets a meal for two at Pogue Mahon’s Irish Bar and Bistro on Prince of Wales Road Norwich, our favourite City centre watering hole.
Well done Joe.

Barnham Broom Hotel – Volunteer of the Month – September

Posted on by

Our Barnham Broom Hotel/Golf/Spa Volunteer of the Month for September was Graham Hilton.
Graham has been looking after the grounds at Norwich since dinosaurs roamed the earth…almost!
He’s indicated that this may be his last season as head groundsman, in which case, it will be a very well earned and well deserved retirement. Having said that, he has had more farewell tours than the Rolling Stones, so we will have to see.
Graham is a very keen golfer so is delighted to accept the round of golf at Barnham Broom. We never had him down as a ‘Spa Day’ man anyway although afternoon tea for two may have momentarily been considered before returning to the obvious option.
Well done Graham and thank you for all the years of service to the club.

Lee Parry Returns to Norwich

Posted on by

We are excited to announce the senior coaching team for this season will be Matt Selby and Lee Parry.

Matt has been coaching at Norwich for several years and Lee makes a very welcome return, having coached here from 2018 to 2020.

He took on a different role within the RFU development structure during COVID as well as coaching the GB Wheelchair Rugby Talent Team. A former Coventry player that played in several positions across the back line, he brings vast experience back to the club, to develop our exciting young squad of players.

His role within the RFU includes mentoring and assessing coaches that are on the Advanced Coaching Award. They will be assisted by Jonny Payne and recently retired Norwich stalwart Theo Elliott who starts his coaching journey.

Richard Bailey will be the strength and conditioning coach (more to follow on the full coaching set up).
Exciting times!
