I'd like to thank Paul for his time and the efforts he has put into the club over the years, both in his capacity as a junior coach and with everything he has done with the men’s senior teams over the past two seasons. We appreciate everything he has achieved.

The club committee has always had the interests of its members and players at all age levels at heart, and we recognise the massive contribution that Paul has made to the club.

But times change, and with that comes new opportunity. Succeeding Paul will be a coaching team led by former 1st XV captain and long-time club member and player, Josh Dear, with a strong focus on player development, a ‘one club’ ethos and enjoyment being fundamental to all that we do. We are very excited by this and will support the new coaching team as they look to the future.

I hope you will join me in thanking Paul, and will continue to show your support to St Ives RUFC, as we look to build and develop our fantastic club further over the coming years. Up the Ives!

Ross Thompson, Chairman
