S2:E7: A Chairman and a Couple of Convicts!

Welcome to this week's episode (and our final one for 2024), packed with rugby insights and club camaraderie! Fresh from the Club's AGM, we're pleased to bring you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look with our honourable club Chairman. Steve provides some cracking insights into the club's direction and all the intriguing goings-on that typically remain hidden from view.

And of course, we also have our comprehensive club-wide round-up of all the teams.
Sit back and join your regular hosts – Mick, Duncan, and Pete – for a rollicking ride through Cobham rugby culture, club dynamics, and everything in between.
