Our Captain @tibs1981 is the one of the few Vikings to play for the club every season since the very beginning
He just keeps turning up!
Q: How long have you been with the team?
A: I turned up at the first ever session (before we had a club name or strip). I think that was 8 years ago?
Q:How much rugby experience did you have before joining?
A: I played in school but I was never a massive fan – all the PE lessons were geared towards the talented athletes and I was not in that group.
Q: What were the major factors that pushed you to join the team?
A: I wanted to try something new and make new friends. The scene in Swansea has gotten smaller and smaller in recent years and meeting new people is difficult. I also wanted to prove to myself that I could have done sport when I was younger.
Q: Since you’ve become a Viking, what’s been your favourite memory/memories so far?
A: Bingham cup in Amsterdam – I was being held together with tape and painkillers for 3 days and French player busted my head but it was an amazing few days!
Q: Can you give 3 pieces of advice to anyone on the fence about joining the Vikings or their local inclusive team?
A: Turn up first and worry about how good you afterwards. It’s really easy to defeat yourself before you even get to the pitch. Rugby is for everyone!
Train with us every Wednesday at 6:45 in upper Killay
