He’s rugby through to his boot straps having spent 40 years involved with the Eastwood Club as a player, referee and committee member. “All we need is more players, because the way these guys play as a team, we can be very competitive,” Russell said. “I’ve had a ball, they’re so lucky to have such a good committee and sponsors behind them.” Of course no presentation night would be complete without the awards.
