Yesterday evening we welcomed England international winger Joe Cokanasiga to Ballards Ash to join in with rugby training with our Under 10s, Under 16s and Colts squads.

Joe, who plays wing for Bath, and previously at London Irish, took part in some training drills with our U10s, joined in with a few games of rugby netball and then signed some photographs for our young players.

Joe oversaw our Under 16s and Colts teams' training drills before joining in with some vigorous touch rugby games with the boys.

Huge thanks to Sarah and Luke Herridge for organising the visit through their company HK Engineering LTD who sponsor Joe at Bath Rugby.
