"Warlingham appoints New Captain"

Warlingham Rugby Club, the biggest rugby club in the area and in its 93rd year, has announced that 26 year old winger
Jon Osborne has been elected First XV captain for the upcoming season. For several seasons Osborne has been one of the first
names on the team sheet and has been at the club for several years cementing his reputation as an elusive
runner and dependable defender for the club. A former Caterham schoolboy and currently a sports coach at John Fisher
school, Osborne takes on the mantle from Zack King, who remains vice-captain.

Warlingham Chairman, Peter Wrightson, said, "We are delighted that Ozzie has taken up the role, he is an inspirational
player and holds the respect of all the other players." Osborne said, "This is a great honour for me to captain Warlingham
and to follow in the footsteps of some great players. I know I can rely upon the support of all the players, especially the former
captains, to hopefully achieve a successful season."

Warlingham have resumed pre-season training at their Hamsey Green on Tuesday evenings at 7pm when all are welcome to attend.
Head coach, Ben Stobart, has some new drills to put the players through their paces before the League season starts in September.
For geographicall reasons Warlingham have switched from London South East II to London South West II division, bringing back
a number of historic fixtures against well known opposition. Having narrowly avoided relegation last season they are keen to improve
their standing in the difficult league
