Subject: “Kevin Maggs confirmed as new Moseley Head Coach” Author: Comms Team [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: "Wed, May 18 2011, 17:16:03 GMT" MOSELEY RUGBY CLUB *****PRESS RELEASE****** 19-May-2011 “Kevin Maggs confirmed as new Moseley Head Coach” Moseley has pleasure in announcing the appointment of former Irish International centre Kevin Maggs as head coach. A spokesman for Moseley said: “Nearly fifty applications for the Head Coach position were received, many of them from high quality coaches with experience at the highest levels of the game in a number of different countries. Among them, Kevin Maggs submitted a compelling presentation about his plans for the future and how he would take the club forward. Kevin’s experience in working as Moseley Assistant Coach last season and having the confidence of the players was also a factor in the deliberations. The club’s recruitment subcommittee determined that there was no one with that much better potential who would justify destruction of the principle of promotion from within the club wherever possible. It was therefore unanimous in recommending to the club’s Board the appointment of Kevin as Head Coach. The sub committee did look at combining the abilities of different outstanding applicants although ultimately considered that their different aspirations would not best meet the club’s objectives. Moseley would like to thank all those who submitted applications and for their interest in being part of the revival of our great club” Kevin Maggs said “I am delighted to have been provided with this opportunity at this famous club which needs to be back at the forefront of the game in this country. Hopefully I can assist towards that goal and continue the progress made by successive coaches over recent years. I’m particularly pleased to have been given the vote of confidence by the management and directors of the club with whom I have enjoyed an excellent relationship over the last past nine months or so. Following recruitment last season we have a nucleus of good players now and with a couple of prudent additions, we are hopeful of moulding them into a competitive force in the Championship and realising their potential. Certainly the improvements in results since last Christmas and the four game league winning streak at the end of the season and the foundations which Ian Smith and I laid down give some confidence towards meeting that objective”. The 70 capped former Irish International joined Moseley as backs coach for the 2010-11 RFU Championship season assisting Head Coach Ian Smith. Following his impressive International career, the 70 cap international Kevin started his coaching while a player/coach at Rotherham in the 2009/10 season. He took on the responsibility of developing the back line at Moseley during the early part of last season following the appointment of Don Caskie as national coach to Georgia in preparation for the Rugby World Cup. Confirmation in an official Press Release issued by The RFU this afternoon and the website will be updated shortly. Moseley Matters will also confirm in this week's edition.

Hopefully you can take us forward and away from 'Pool C'. If I can give some advice it's this -when the going gets tough remain confident of your abilities and remember that whilst most of the messages that appear on this board are well-meaning, on occasion some of us hit the return key before engaging the brain! Good luck and come on all, let's get behind our new Head Coach. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Congrats Author: BN [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Wed, May 18 2011, 23:47:52 GMT" With some of the names rumoured to be in the ring for this one that's a great achievement. I also think a good appintment. There were a number of ossasions last season where it was clear Kevin was taking the lead in post match discussions and clearly held the respect of the squad. While I had anticipated someone with a little more coaching experinece he's clearly convinced the powers that be that he has the vision and ability to take the club forward. Let's hope he can indeed bring the undoubted potential out of the squad and prove to be a succesful in his coaching career as he was as a player. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Yeehaa! Author: John [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Thu, May 19 2011, 11:29:11 GMT" Congratulations Kevin. I am really happy that you applied and the club accepted. I am full of hope and optimism over the future of the club in your hands. We'll win some, we'll lose some, but I think we are on an upward curve. I think the club will have happier air about itself in the coming season. I wonder when the fixtures list might show up. I would be nice to avoid the kind of shock we had last season when Esher mobbed us on our first outing. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: BillesleyNomad [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Thu, May 19 2011, 15:47:18 GMT" It's Voisey, Maltman, Pennycook and Ollie retained and Dan Sanderson and Jamie Hearn added. Perhaps MM will have an update? I was also wondering if there's any news on the appointment of the new conditioning coach mentioned as part of the restructuring? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
