RUGBY IS COMING HOME AND YOU CAN BE PART OF IT

WHO’S BEHIND RUGBYFEST?Spencer Brown

Within rugby, Spencer is best known for his six years in the English Premiership, playing as a winger/fullback for

Richmond and later Bristol. He’d actually begun his playing career comparatively late, joining Richmond in 1992 when

they were still in the third tier of English rugby.

He turned professional in 1997, and soon after signed with Bristol. He’d actually appeared at Ashton Gate previously,

appearing for an England XV against New Zealand – a match in which he made a bone-crunching try-saving tackle on Tana Umaga.

Spencer was a member of the England Elite squad from 1998 to 2001. During this time he represented England at the World Sevens in Paris, and

England ‘A’ for three seasons. He won two full England caps against Australia and South Africa during the 1998

tour to the Southern Hemisphere.

After retiring from the professional game, Spencer has put a lot of time into studying sports sciences. He has degrees in Sport and Exercise Science and Strength and Conditioning, and works in this field helping athletes and non-athletes alike.

Mark Dunkley

Mark started playing rugby at the age of four and his passion for the game has only grown stronger with every passing year. Although his native tribal loyalty is to the blue, black and white of Bath, when he lived in Northampton he became a Saints ticket holder – just so he could go and watch live rugby as often as possible. A highlight of his younger years was playing in the NatWest Schools Cup at Twickenham.

Upon entering colts rugby, Mark featured for all five teams in one season at Old Northamptonians, making his first team debut at 17. As a senior, Mark has played with a number of clubs. He worked in New Zealand for two years and so got involved with local teams, including representing the Matawatu region.

Back over in England, Mark has been a Rugby Lion and also played for Nuneaton in National 2 before becoming a side regular in National 3. His proudest moment with Nuneaton came in his final year there, when he captained the second team to an unbeaten league and cup campaign, winning both trophies.

Mark has played Rugby League too – he was part of a national and regional winning side with Northampton Casuals for two years running.

Although Mark’s playing career has slowed down, he says that, if anything, he now feels even more enthusiastic about every aspect of the game, and loves helping promote rugby wherever he can.
