Head coach Glenn Bowman has decided to step down after around 15 years in the role at Horden & Peterlee Rugby Club. Glenn spent many years at Horden’s midfield as a player, where he earned the nickname ‘Rock’ because of his reliability and solid defence. He was part of the squad of 2003 which finished fifth in North 2 East - rubbing shoulders with the likes of Bradford & Bingley, Hull and Sheffield. Arguably the club’s best ever league finish. He took up a coaching role once his playing days were finished and soon became the club’s head coach when succeeding Dave Turner.
