RAK Rugby are to announce that Eddie Presch has accepted the position of Chairman with immediate effect at the club.

Presch brings a wealth of rugby experience to the role both as a player (in the UK and at UAE) and as former club Captain and Treasurer. The club would like to thank the former Chairman Ryan Reaney for his dedicated work over the last 12 months.

New club Chairman, Eddie Presch said;

“I’m honoured to accept this role and would like to thank the committee for nominating me, and for all the support I’ve received from players and members. These are challenging times in the Covid era, particularly for a high contact sport such as rugby, but the future is positive and there is still plenty to do at RAK Rugby going forward. I’m relishing the challenge of taking this club even further on and off the field working alongside our committee, players, members and our ever supportive sponsors.”

Supporting Presch, the club also welcome the return of veteran club member Dave Learman as Club Secretary.

Learman has been involved in just about every decision the club has made since its inception and has played a vital role in its development over recent years.

RAK Rugby Club would like to extend their thanks to outgoing secretary Shaun Goate.
