A Proud Moment for the Club: Father and Son Take the Field Together
This past Saturday marked a truly special occasion for the club. In our Deacons’ fixture against Gillingham Anchorians, we witnessed father and son duo, Piers and Jerome, line up side by side, and help secure a fantastic win for the team.
Their appearance together isn’t just a one‑off highlight; it’s another addition to the long list of family pairings who’ve proudly worn the Black and Amber throughout our history. These moments reflect the heart of our club: community, legacy, and generations united through rugby.
Piers is a recent graduate of our Minis and Youth section, a testament to the strength of our player pathway and development programme. Jerome, meanwhile, is an ever‑present supporter, long‑standing club player, and our current Fixtures Secretary, giving back tirelessly both on and off the pitch.
Together, they embody what makes this club special.
Here’s to Piers, Jerome, and all the families who continue to shape the spirit and future of our club.
