Head Coach – Jim Croft, 0220 907 615

Trainer – Kingston Croft-Haenga
Training will be in conjunction with Joe Rau and the Swords 15s as some players are eligible for both teams, which will provide strength in numbers for training purposes.
Team Selection
The team will be capped at 22 players. Therefore should we have more than 22 at musters and trainings, a trial may be required.
