Eddie (Andrew Edwards)

Eddie Position: Chairman

Eddie the man from a land down under, dedicated player and now voted in as the clubs illustrious leader.   Eddie is known for his plethora of nicknames as well as for his rugby skills. "Eddie Spaghetti," "Christmas Dad," and "Aussie Ed" are only three of the monikers Eddie has acquired in his distinguished playing career. Often known to shake his head at you when you've done something wrong and dance just like your dad at parties...

 

Cookie (Alex Cook)

CookiePosition: Secretary

Club Secretary and our very own version of Johnny Wilkinson but without all the injuries, money, good looks and style.   Cookie can run, kick conversions and deliver on drop goals, always there to score the points when we need them most.   Most people in the club have wanted to punch Cookie at some point in their lives and yet he still seems to be remarkably popular. Truly the leading light in the Thamesians “toys r us” campaign, its always a close run competition between the number of points Cookie scores and the number of times he spit’s the dummy! 

Barty (Bart Redmond)

BartyPosition: Treasurer

Bart, the Peter Pan of the club who absolutely refuses to grow old gracefully.  Bart is without a doubt one of the greatest players in the Club history just for the span of his playing career alone, a true Thamesian. His playing career cuts across many centuries and yet he still tips up for every game solid, reliable and with plenty of experience to boot. If you close your eyes he sounds a bit like Marge Simpson on helium.

 

Gaydrian (Adrian Walker)

AdrianPosition: 1st XV Captain

First team Captain and a great believer in the old adage that 'Everyone is entitled to His Opinion' but I’m much bigger and shout a lot louder than you. Also renowned for his on pitch vocalisations, causing mischief at the breakdown and always putting his body on the line for the team. Ever keen, never injured and a great leader for the 1’s over the last few seasons.

Adrian appreciates the finer things in life, enjoys wearing loud shirts & owns the largest collection of flip-flops in the Southwest. In summary, a flip-flop, Hawaiian shirt-wearing beast of a man who is not as handsome as he thinks he is.

Inchy (Simon Gale)

InchyPosition: 2nd XV Captain

Leader of the second team and club Legend.  Inchy has a great Rugby brain, leads from the front and is right choice for the second team captain this year.   Also mad as box of frogs so best not to share a room with him on tour, but if you do, you are strongly advised to sleep with one eye open.

  

The Boss (Sandra Redmond)

SandraPosition: Social Secretary

The lovely Sandra our Social Secretary. Tall, Blonde with a big personality!   We love Sandra she's as equally at home in the clubhouse putting up with the boy’s drunken antics, as she would be at societies best cocktail party. 

Full of fantastic idea’s and ways to get the boys dressed to impress, or alternatively to get them camped up and into costume. Masked balls, Top Hats and Tiara’s and Caribbean evenings in late December to name but a few of the clubs excellent adventures.

Chocs (Andrew Philp)

ChocsPosition: Fixture Secretary / Ticket Allocations

Club Fixtures Secretary and the man with the plan.  Choc really is a great drinker with a serious Rugby problem, a legend within his own local.  Back from Injury and almost fully recovered. His silky Rugby skills and knowledge of the game means that he can play pretty much every position within the back line.  A great bloke but nobody knows why exactly, maybe its down to him always being the last to leave the bar and by that time you're too drunk and you've forgotten why you love him so much but you know he really, really, really, is your best friend in the whole world... hic. 

Zippy (Jason Darbyshire)

ZippyPosition: Membership Secretary

Zippy built like a tank that runs on nitrous.  His aggressive spirit comes from the means streets of Twickenham, causing great problems for any defence with his tendency to run over the top of players instead of taking the time to run around them. Despite this 'Zippy' retains his title as male bimbo of the club, and has adopted the Gavin Henson approach to rugby. His first aid kit is known to contain moisturisers, emergency hair gel, foundations and his patented diamante earrings.

 

Slash (Mark Slater)

SlashPosition: Webmaster

Our resident Webmaster/IT Guru.  Too big for a back yet too small for a Prop, Slash confuses most referee’s on first appearance as they eagerly wait for him to take his place in the front row,  before discovering that he’s actually our first team Scrum Half.  Known to tackle anything that moves without discrimination, he’s both solid in defence and always consistently good in attack.  As Webmaster he takes full responsibility for this site, so any problems you know where to go!
