The captains of the men’s and women’s first teams at Stone Rugby Club have been announced, with both individuals stepping into the role for the first time.
Alex Walley has been unveiled as the skipper for the men’s side for the upcoming season, having had an excellent campaign last time around as he picked up the Most Improved Player award and coming second place in the Players’ Player of the Season award at the end of the 2019/20 campaign.
Last season’s captain Tom Parker (known as ‘Stan’), who was voted Clubman of the Year earlier this annum, will take on the role of vice-captain.
A spokesperson for Stone Rugby Club said: “The effort he puts in for the club is incredible and this year will be no different. To say Stan is a character is an understatement.”
On the women’s team – named the ‘Stone Roses’ – new signing Ros Wiggins becomes the first player ever to be named as a season-long captain.
Attaining an experienced CV having played rugby for over 13 years and featuring at National Championship 2 level, Wiggins is also a full-time rugby coach.
Her arrival from Crewe & Nantwich had made many at the club very excited.
Sally Reynolds has been named as women’s vice-captain having only picked up a rugby ball for the first time last year.
Meanwhile, full-back George Platt and utility forward Kevin Davies have signed on to play for the men’s first team next season, as has flanker Molly Boston and number 8 Annabel Perrin-Aldous for the Roses.
