  • Senior Division 1

    The New Brighton Senior Division One side has a good mix of old and new players about it this year.

    Steve Crotty and John Seque will again guide the ship in 2010 assisted by technical advisors John Haggart and Roddy Butt (club RDO).

    New acquisitions include Chris Damsteegt, Gareth Semour, Luke Crotty, Fia Meafou, Chris Young, Aki Selave and Misi Selave.

    Pre-season form was good and leading into the start of the season the NBC boys winning all games incluiding a big one over Old Boys which shows the amount of potential within the group.

    Adding to the experienced look of the side are the teams three Crusaders, Issac Ross, Tyson Keats and Ryan Crotty as well as Brett Mather (Highlanders). Marcel Cummings-Toone returns to Brighton from BOP to add steel to the forward pack.

    A physical approach and the customary never-say-die and attitude epitomises the seasiders view towards their rugby making them a top team to watch out for. There is also no shortage of humour and antics amongst the boys and this has meant the Club has long been regarded as a welcoming place for visitors and new players alike. Kia Kaha.
