@george_chuter
and outgoing head coach
@philllewellyn
for the huge amount of great work they have done at the club. Good luck to two great men.
Congratulations to sale - took their chances whereas we left a few on the field - harsh not to get a bonus point but that's rugby. A great battle between two proper teams

@HenleyHawks
following last Saturday's tragic events. As is highlighted in their club statement, our fixture away at Henley this weekend has, quite rightly, been postponed.
We have been overwhelmed by the messages of support and goodwill from the rugby community, and from around the world following Dave's passing. A big thank you to you all.
