WIVELISCOMBE Rugby Club have offered the role of head coach to a candidate from outside the club.

Director of rugby Jake Sharland said he hoped to announce the name of the successful person in the coming week.

Wiveliscombe are looking to replace Peter and Brian Stone who stood down at the end of last season.

“Obviously our next step will be to get the coaching set-up in place and to try to organise pre-season training in some form,” said Sharland.

“We have to follow Government guidelines, which could change at any time. It is difficult to plan ahead without dates.”
