THIS SEASON

This season we are playing in National Challenge South East 1 and are hoping for a strong season following our mid table positioning last year. Our focus is to build on the development of the team by increasing individuals performance and the overall ability to work as a unit. A main focus for Camberley this year is to step up our levels of fitness and increase our squad size. Following a number of pre-season friendlies, we start our league campaign on the 15th September 2009.

 

CONGRATULATIONS!! We started our season with a win over Teddington 10 - 8 !!!

COACHING

This season we are pleased to ammounce the appointment of Dave, our new coach.  Dave works as a fitness instructor for Her Majestys Prison Service and has taken on the responsibility for the team this season. He is often joined by his junior sidekick Aaron. 

Last year we had Rhys Griffiths and over the season the standard of rugby improved and we are optimistic about the forthcoming season. At the annual awards Rhys gave mention to the new players to the club including Angela for an excellent start to rugby and Laura as our most improved player.  As a team we will aim to improve on the platform we have developed heading into the new season.

MEET THE SQUAD

 

 

Dave

 

Head Coach

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

Sarah Jackson

Captain; Flanker

 

Originally playing for Camberley as a winger she moved to flanker so that she could do more tackling. Whilst we have several Sarahs, Foley was the first and therefore has the right to be known only by her surname. A fearsome tackler whose slight frame belies her on field ferocity, she is also well known for her inability to play vegetables!

 

 

 

Amanda

Vice Captain; Second Row

 

Amanda tried to give up playing and move to France. Fortunately we located her and the authorities dragged her back. An accomplished second row, she likes to bring some sophistication to the team. She can be found drinking wine post-match, instead of beer like the rest of us animals.

 

 

Nicola York

Secretary

 

A new player to Camberley last season, schoolteacher Nicola has been fearless and started her first match last season after only a couple of training sessions. She has taken to the front row with relish and we are not about to let her go! She has bust her nose 45 times but we try not to stare too much....

 

 

Sarah-Jane Carter

Chairperson; Second Row

A former winger, SJ moved to the second row and took to it like a duck to water- getting best forward after just one season. A demon tackler on the pitch, SJ likes to wear a knee support to make her look hard. She is also our level-headed Committee Chairwoman and can always be relied upon to sort us out when things descend into chaos.

Kiersty Sims

Pr and Recruitment

Another one of our new converts, Kiersty , or 'Gear Stick' (it's easier to pronounce) took up rugby after being a WAG of one of the male players. Showing that she can teach them a thing or two, she can normally be found sprinting down the wing...or breaking her fingers.

 

Jessica Mourad

Social Secretary; Number 9

Jess is the teams number 9 this season. A little on the short side, Jess makes up for it with her chatting. Jess will also chat to you on the pitch, normally not rugby related.... however a strong player for her height and a key to the team this season.

   

Dionne Mack-Jones

Fixtures & Ref; Second Row

Dee started with us as a second row but is so versatile that she can play several positions in the pack. Always playing with passion and fire, many have noticed that Dee is never afraid to get stuck in as she crashes the ball upfield.

 

Angela Sicot

 

Prop; Second Row

 

Angela adds to our multi cultural team by being our second french import of last season. Angela is built like a brick and scares most of her own team.. good luck to the opposition. Angela assists in the pack and is the sole supplier of after match chocolate.

 

Sarah Sanderson

Hooker

Sarah has now played four seasons of rugby. A season into her rugby career has seen various highlights, numerous social gatherings and an introductory tour on a pig farm - where the only place to take a shower was the pig trough.
Her main aim this season is to play some rugby, and to score a try (that looks good). Sarah is a key player in the hooker position andis greatly assisted by her pack tolead a strong set of forwards.

 

Wendy Fry

Second Row

Wendy is another international import from Canada, or possibly South Africa or another country with a different accent.... Wendy has adapted well to the English sport having previous played American Football and Touch Rugby,  A strong keen player who will no doubt get better and better throughout the season

 

Lisa

 

Lisa Goldsmith

No 10

A former winger, Lisa has taken on the position of number 10 with relish. However, her talents on the pitch pale in comparison to her skill in obtaining us sponsorship whilst drunk! Keep up the good work!

 

 

 

 

Siobhan

Siobhan is going out with the head coach so we have to say nice things about her, to avoid being benched. Strangely our coach keeps calling her Sean, which makes us think that he knows something about her that we don't. Siobhan is an awesome tackler but don't stand next to her when she returns from holiday if you happen to be pasty.

 

 

 

Denise Walsh

Although Beastie has defected to Hove we still have an honorary place for her on the team. Denise is known as the Beast, Beastie, Sneeze, Goat and Lemming amongst other things. Her most frequent moniker of Beast is nothing her ability to down a pint, which to be frank is rather scary. Rather it is due to the age induced deafness of an ex-captain who misheard her first name.

 

 

 

Alison Bethwaite

Winger

Alison is one of our speedy wingers so don't give her any space. She also has a great tackle on her to boot. Like Ruth, she is medically trained and has been threatened with violence if she gets injured. Along with Foley and Emily is going for the award for the most show of emotion on the pitch.

 

Kate

 

Kate Chapman

No 8

Kate is one of our power players and has been our solid number eight for centuries. Rather rudely, she injured herself when getting out of a dinghy and is now hobbling about the place. She has 1000 teddies, all of whom have personalities and her best friend is a turtle called Terrence.

 

 

 

  Sarah


 

Debbie Haydon

Centre

Inside Centre Debbie is one of the longest playing members of the squad, despite this she shows no sign of slowing down and enjoying semi retirement in the forwards. A formidable attacking and defensive player, with intercept tries and crunching tackles a speciality, Debbie is the keystone of the squad.

 

 

Emily

Full Back

Emily can normally be found tearing down the wing- don't give this girl any space! She is currently in competition with Sarah Foley for who can cry the loudest when injured. We give marks on range and style. Emily is also a silent assassin and turns into a crazy fool when drunk.

 

Kerry Johnson

Prop

Kerry, or 'Muffin' tried to retire but we found her. Nobody leaves us. She is currently trying to evade us by escaping to St Kitts but it's only a matter of time. If we have a problem, if noone else can help, and if we can find her, maybe we can hire...the Muffin.
