COMMITTEE

Chairman 

AIDAN 'Westy' BUTLER

Height: 6”4
Weight: 99.99kg

Position: Lock
Fun fact: Since the age of 12 Aidan has been the tallest person in his South Wales village.

​

Since recovering from a minor soft tissue injury early in the 2017/18 season and having returned from a sabbatical to pursue and amateur acting career, angry man and high-ball enthusiast Aidan Butler played a prominent role in the 1st XV during the 2017/18 season as 'last year’s vice-captain.' 

​

Convinced that Wales are still a Tier 1 rugby nation and easily noticeable due to his rousing team talks Westy will lead the club from the coveted role of chairman during the 2018/19 season.

1st XV Captain

ADAM 'Virgin Mary' MACKIE

Height: 6’3”
Weight: 98kg

Position: Number 8
Leadership skills: sometimes takes fitness

​

This stern looking man and formal "England North" prospect is the second scouser to lead the 1st XV in four years. As aggressive on the rugby pitch as he is nervous talking to girls and having spent significant time during the 2016/17 season playing second fiddle to Elton, he’s glad to finally have his chance to start for the 1st XV and will lead them during the 2018/19 season.

2nd XV Captain

LEWIS 'Bastien' TURNER

Height: 6"1

Weight: 85kg

Position: Centre, Back Row
