Sad News

We have sad news at Romsey Rugby Club with the passing of Steve “Cocker” Cox, our thoughts are with his family.

This from Rob “Shirley” Austin:

Cocker or ‘fingers’ as he was known by most of the players at the time he ran the bar from the late 1990’s until about 2010. Always the first to ask for ‘one for himself’ he would take great pleasure in chalking up his free drinks on the notice board (not knowing that we would consistently rub them off!)

Often considered miserable by most of the members and players he was still an integral and conscientious member of the team.
He would enthusiastically organise music nights and lots of other Saturday night activities which most of us would then try to ruin! The club would not have been the same without him.

If the first or second team were playing away he would always make sure that the bar was open for their (often victorious) return home. (Probably because he didn’t want to go home if the truth is but known). The Clubhouse would often stay open until late in the evening. It was a golden era at the time with the first team making the ‘London’ leagues and us running three teams and an occasional vets side. Cocker loved being part of it all.

The Clubhouse was not the same when he decided to give it up and I am sure I speak for most people in saying that he will be very sadly missed.

Romsey turn up the heat in pre season warm up v Wimborne

Romsey turn up the heat in pre season warm up v Wimborne

Romsey faced a strong Wimborne squad on Ganger Farm’s 4G surface. New skipper Harrison Scott led a home side that was trying out new combinations under a new senior coach, Jason Berry.
 
Strong driving work by Ben Hoad off the back of a line out set up Harrison Scott for the first score of the game after seven minutes. A few moments later Caine Latham sliced his way through the Wimborne defence but a dropped pass halted the move. Wimborne’s kick was short of touch, however, and Rhys Hill’s jinking counter attack resulted in Romsey’s second try. With the scrummages going their way, the signs were good for Romsey in the first quarter of this keenly contested game.
 
Injuries to Rhys Hill and Caine Latham stopped Romsey’s momentum, however, and the visitors spun the ball out wide and scored their first try. With Wimborne’s centres running aggressively and finding holes in the Romsey defence, it wasn’t long before their second try brought the scores level at halftime.
 
Ten minutes into the second half flanker Dan Murrant was quick to pounce on some loose ball at the back of the Wimborne line out, which led to a try. With the clock running down, Brad Hughes rampaged through a tired Wimborne defence to put the home side two scores clear.
 
Overall, coach Jason Berry will be heartened by the energy of his forwards, with Harrison Scott outstanding at the breakdown, and the home team’s scrum dominance was ultimately decisive. At this early stage, the coach said that the emphasis was on building relationships on the pitch. Saturday’s game showed that they have made a good start.
