Undy Rugby Academy Meet Mike Poole

The Community Section of the Trust is constantly looking for new projects and when we met up with Mike Poole at Launceton, he told us how frustrated he was with his injury. We suggested that a suitable diversion may be a good idea on match day and as such have invited our Guards of Honour to bring a coach and have a short training session with Mike before kick off. Mike Sage, the Dragons Community Officer and Newport Team Manager kindly supplied some balls and away we went.

 

 First up were Undy Rugby Academy who spent an hour on the cabbage patch with Mike Poole. The whole session was a great success and Pooley has no doubt gained himself a new batch of young fans. The Trust Committee would like to thank Mike for giving his time for the kids and also Mike Sage for his input.  Following the training session, Undy formed the now traditional Guard of Honour. 

 

One of their number, Evan Whitehouse, was the matchday mascot. Evan was the recipient of our Ultimate Support Player of the Season Award, and met captain Alex Jones before leading out Newport.
