It’s in the context of a try scored by Seb against Maidenhead in Rams’ first season at National Three South West when he grabbed four in a 62-8 home win - that he makes the comment.

Having climbed through the leagues on the back of three promotions in five years from Southern Counties North, Rams solidified their position in the National League system with a sixth place finish in South West.

And Seb recalled: “I don’t remember much of that season!

“I remember the two promotions we had coming up, we had to put an emphasis on a lot of young players who were coming through as we’d lost a lot of good players at the time – some went off to higher clubs and went on to do some really good things.

“So we had to back a really young side and a good Colts team who had come through the set-up and we’d almost got relegated a couple of years before, but we stuck together and then we had two promotions in a row.”

The first N3SW game ended in a 10-0 reverse at Cleve, but Seb admitted it was actually a key moment for the club.

He said: “We were chuffed because Cleve are a very good club and back then they were always knocking around the top of the table .

"We had them away and we saw it as a really big challenge and while we lost we learnt we could compete, and from then we’ve always just looked to improve and compete.”

One of the highpoints of the season was the Maidenhead game where Seb fondly reflects: “I remember Owen Root putting me through a gap. He was a big second row, but he could have been a good fly-half and he put me straight under the posts for a poacher’s try!”

Seb is the third top league try scorer in the club’s history, but self-depreciatingly looked back on his career – and the time he landed six points from the boot (three conversions against Chipping Norton in 2005).

He revealed: “I can’t think of many tries I remember, other than I spent a lot of time working out who would make little half-breaks and then getting on their shoulder and that’s what I tended to do quite a lot.

“There was a season where we had a fantastic player-coach called Matt Reed. He could teach us how to side-step, how to goose-step, how to catch and pass, but the one thing he couldn’t teach was how to kick at goal.

“No-one could kick at goal and we used to change it every week! Andy Amor did it one week and he was rubbish and I did it one week and I wasn’t much better, but I did get one from the touchline.”

Having transitioned from a formidable player to attack coach and now Director of Rugby, Seb has been a key player in the rise of the club for almost three decades, and he admits he has been lucky to work with so many fabulous colleagues.

He concluded: “I enjoyed playing with Owen Root, we had a young Robbie Stapley who you could tell was going to be a decent player and we had some fantastic players.

“The likes of Jez Flynn, Spike Chandler, guys who’d been at the club for a long time and came through were also superb.

“It’s been thoroughly enjoyable and I’m just really lucky. I’m an accidental coach who wasn’t going to get into coaching, but I just enjoy it and I’m really lucky to be in the position I’m in where I can work with this group at the moment, who are fantastic.”
