With a new coaching team and Management team at the helm of Ards RFC this season, the decision was made to delay appointing the 1st XV Captain and Vice-Captain until the commencement of the All Ireland League Campaign in order for the new regime to assess the players and their suitability for the role.
The decision was made at a playing and selection meeting on Tuesday and announced to the players at training on the Thursday prior to the Suttonians game.
This season’s Captain will be Rob McCausland, a recruit 2 seasons ago from Bangor who is equally at home in the back row or second row, Rob was last season’s player of the year and has great leadership qualities.
Vice-Captain will be Mark Banford, an Ards man through and through; who has came up from Mini Rugby through Youth Rugby to 1st XV at Ards. Mark is a talented back at home anywhere in the back line.
Good luck to both this season.
