Myke Parrott said he was delighted to see Maidenhead RFC’s young talent and fringe players out on the pitch against Oxford Harlequins at the weekend.

Myke Parrott pulled on his rugby boots and threw on a Maidenhead RFC jersey to give Sam Churchyard ‘the day he deserves’ in his farewell match at Braywick Park.

Maidenhead RFC have had a busy weekend of action according to head coach David Mobbs-Smith, who guided his side through numerous games of competitive rugby at Braywick Park.

Stephen Jones says the reaction to Maidenhead RFC’s taster rugby session for girls aged between 11-13 was ‘beyond the club’s wildest dreams’ as 32 young players took part in the event at Braywick Park on Sunday.

Maidenhead RFC will play their first adaptive contact game of the ‘post-season’ against Oxford Harlequins this weekend, with head coach David Mobbs-Smith confident the club has got the balance right between returning to action and protecting the players from injury.

Maidenhead’s director of women’s rugby, Stephen Jones, says the reaction to the launch of the u13s team has been so widespread, the club may have to consider establishing further age group teams to accommodate the interest.
