……………………………..AND WE’VE CHANGED COACHES!

DIRECTOR OF RUGBY MIKE HOLDER (RIGHT) MEETS LEE DOUGLAS

And still catching up, Head Coach Jason Lowde resigned his post following the York game; he found that the travelling with his work and the pressures of a young family made the fulfilment of his duties very difficult and reluctantly stood down. The club then, I believe interviewed several candidates before appointing Lee Douglas a PE teacher at Lady Lumley’s School in Pickering. Lee coached Bridlington for a couple of years and was the coach who memorably refused to play on a Silver Royd surface that he judged to be hard and dangerous. In an interview in the Scarborough News, Lee said that the facilities at Silver Royd was one of the factors which attracted him to the club. There is no doubt that our playing surfaces have improved out of all recognition since that incident a couple of seasons ago and everyone at the club looks forward to working with Lee.
