The Stratford Rugby and Sports Club Under 21's team, the New World Colts, are gearing up for a season of great rugby, says coach Allan 'Rolly' Rowlands.
Rolly, who is coaching the team for the first time, will be working with two other team coaches Mark Petrie and Paul Martin along with team manager Matt Stewart.
Rolly has coached the Central Rugby Under 18's team for the past three years.
"It was great working with the high school players but it was time for me to take the next step," he says.
He plans to bring some of the core values he taught to the Central players.
