Lui Smith

Lui Smith

Centre


Brother of Tom and John Lui played a handful of games last year for the twos and we are pleased to have him back this year.  

Tim Harborow

Tim Harborow

Loosehead Prop


Tim is a hard working loose head prop who has worked his way up from Fester’s boys. A relative newcomer to the game, Tim has shown great improvement this season and obviously harbours (ouch!) ambitions to be a back with the occasional kick downfield!

John Drew

John Drew

Hooker


John has been at the club for a number of years following in the foot steps of his dad Colin “Kawasaki” Drew and is a tough hooker with a dress sense to rival anyones (according to John!). A strong, straight runner John is a must for anyone’s quiz team!

Angelo Mousikou

Angelo Mousikou

Hooker


Former chip shop magnate, Angelo has made a welcome return to the club this season after a break of a couple of years where he has clearly worked on his fitness. One of the most skilful hookers you will ever see, Angelo has great pace and regularly scores spectacular tries!

Jez Moss

Jez Moss

Prop/Hooker


Longton’s Disciplinary Advisor, Jez has had a long and distinguished career, terrorising front rows and anyone else he can get his hands on. Still young for a prop, Jez is perhaps the finest exponent of the dark arts of forward play this side of AJ Birse!!

John Hammersley

John Hammersley

Tightead Prop


Another prop with a considerable physical presence, Johnny Mooncheese has been the corner stone of the 2nd team pack for a few seasons. His strong scrummaging and jovial presence make him a valuable member of the team.

Ian Wright

Ian Wright

2nd Row


Bagga is something of a club legend having joined the club from somewhere down South many years ago. A mobile 2nd row or back row, Bagga is now thankfully an honorary Northerner although he has so far failed to pronounce the words "bath", "grass" and "class" correctly.

Oli Green

Oli Green

2nd Row


Oli is a young, rapidly improving 2nd row who joined the club as a junior and managed to escape, I mean, worked his way from Festers boys!! He clearly is a player of some potential and could be knocking on the door of the 1st team before too long.

Gareth Barron

Gareth Barron

2nd Row


Big Gaz has been a welcome addition to the 2nd row this season. A native North Easterner, Gaz's background is in rugby league. His physical presence makes a big difference to the team as a ball carrier and he dishes out the odd bosh tackle in a throw back to his days playing that other game!!

Dean Woodward

Dean Woodward

Blindside Flanker


Mongy continues to go from strength to strength as a player and his career has been revived by the new adhesive spray now being used on players hands this year. If this product had been discovered 20 years ago Mongy may have been one of England’s finest players! Seriously, Mongy is one of the clubs great characters and keeps everyone relaxed and entertained.

Norm Rushton

Norm Rushton

Flanker


All action flanker Norm is now back at the club after a spell out of the game (well he was playing for Stoke!). His dynamic running, fantastic support play and general energy make him one of the key players and he is seeking to win a record setting number of 2nd team player of the year awards this season!!

Lee Holford

Lee Holford

Flanker


Converted winger Lee has developed into an excellent back row who flies around the park making tackles left, right and centre. He has the potential to play 1st team rugby and is a key member of the squad, when he doesn't forget his kit and have to go home and fetch it!!

Chris Ainsworth

Chris Ainsworth

No. 8


Chris has been one of the most improved players at the club over the last couple of years and is seriously knocking on the door for 1st team selection. A strong, mobile number 8, Chris was the outstanding forward last year and continues to be a formidable presence this season.
