Neil McGovern Moves On

Neil McGovern Moves On

Alex Finch12 Jan 2018 - 11:04

It’s a bitter - sweet welcome to 2018 as we say goodbye to our Head Coach of a decade, Neil McGovern.

During his time with the Club, Neil has led a fantastic passage in our history and has left a legacy to be proud of. He was responsible for leading the team in quick succession from Sussex One right through to London 1 South. In addition, during his watch, Brighton made three visits to Twickenham winning on each occasion bringing in the Junior Vase [2008/9], the Senior Vase [2009/10] and the Intermediate Cup [2012/3].

Brighton Rugby will always be grateful to Neil for his efforts and we wish him every success in his next chapter.

The sweet part is that we welcome Frank Taggart back to the fold. Frank was a Brighton boy growing up at the club and has been away earning international honours with Ireland, a professional contract at Ulster and more recently with Rosslyn Park in National 1. Although young he already has a wealth of experience and the enthusiasm to take Brighton on to the next phase of our development.

We are looking forward to an exciting home fixture against Cobham tomorrow, so come and support the teams!

Steve Morris
Chairman
