Picture
Led by Harvey Skelton, we’re delighted to confirm the Senior Men’s Coaching Team for the 2026/27 season.

We’re pleased to welcome Josh back into the coaching setup, while Phil continues in his role as Assistant Coach. Craig H remains a key part of the management team, and we’re excited to welcome Craig Capel, who brings a wealth of rugby knowledge, experience and connections to support both player and coach development across the club.

We’re looking forward to seeing what this group can achieve together.

23 Teams. 1 Club ❤️💙

Thank you Steve 💙❤️

Thank You, Steve

As we prepare for the new season, we’d like to thank Steve Chappell, who is stepping down from his role as Chair of Rugby.

Over this past year, Steve has made a huge contribution across all sections of North, providing leadership, structure and support while helping build the foundations of the rugby pathway we continue to develop today. His commitment to the club, its players, coaches and volunteers has helped strengthen our rugby programme and shape the direction of the club.

Thankfully, Steve isn’t going far. He will continue supporting our Colts and remains heavily involved in club rugby. He is also leading the development of our 23rd team – an inclusive rugby team that will continue the vision and legacy that Boldy was so passionate about.
​
Thank you, Steve, for everything you’ve done, and everything still to come.
23 Teams. 1 Club ❤️💙

❤️💙RE-SIGNED FOR 2026/27 ❤️💙

​We’re delighted to confirm that Harvey Skelton and Ellie Marston-Mulhearn have both committed to North Bristol RFC for the 2026/27 season.

Both will continue as our Senior Head Coaches while taking on expanded Pathway Lead responsibilities, helping strengthen the connection between our youth, junior and senior sections and ensuring a clear development pathway across the club.

Their passion, commitment and dedication continue to drive standards on and off the pitch, and we’re excited to see what the future holds under their leadership.

How lucky are we!

Discipline Secretary

Nearly 50 years ago when I first joined North Bristol RFC, messages like this might have been written in chalk on a changing room wall. Thankfully some things have moved on, but the values that make this club special remain the same.

Having now completed my first full season as Discipline Secretary, I’d like to thank everyone across the club for their support. It has been encouraging to see the respect shown by our players, coaches, volunteers and supporters throughout the season.

Whilst we did have a small number of disciplinary matters to deal with, the overwhelming feedback from match officials has been positive, and that reflects well on everyone involved with North Bristol RFC.

As we look ahead to the new season, there are two important reminders:

  • Respect Match Officials
Abuse of referees or match officials, whether from players, coaches or spectators, will not be tolerated. Rugby is built on respect and we all have a responsibility to uphold those values.

  • Deal With Issues Early
If disciplinary matters do arise, particularly red cards, please ensure they are reported promptly. Early communication allows us to support players and manage situations effectively.

Discipline isn’t just about sanctions; it’s about protecting the culture and reputation of our club. Together, we all play a part in ensuring North Bristol remains a welcoming, inclusive and enjoyable environment for everyone.

Thank you for your support, and I look forward to another successful season.
