Match Program Match Program Bahrain vs Abu Dhabi Harlequins Friday 29th September Kick off: 6pm RE D WALL A message from our Chairman Mike Cunningham It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Bahrain Rugby Football Club for the first home game of the new season. After the excitement of last year’s WA Premiership Final and our recent appearances in the WA Champions League, we look forward to another highly entertaining season ahead. Louie and his squad have been training hard through the pre-season and we anticipate a strong challenge for silverware this year. Welcome to today’s opponents, Abu Dhabi Harlequins and congratulations on their recent success in the WA Champions League. As holders of all the major trophies from last year, we hope they will not be too disappointed if Bahrain have relieved them of one or two by the end of the season. We are fortunate to have a loyal following and the continued support of our key sponsors once again this year. Also a warm welcome to those for whom this will be their first year of association with our club. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our sponsors and supporters for their commitment to Bahrain Rugby Football Club. I hope you enjoy the game. Yallah Bahrain A message from our Director of Rugby And so it begins again… Welcome back to BRFC for our season start! Louie Tonkin Welcome back to Bahrain RFC for a brand new season and a brand new West Asia Premiership Campaign. What an amazing few weeks we’ve had and what a few months the players have had training in this heat - but now a lot of the hard work has been done and its all about putting it out there in our performance tonight. Tonight we welcome reigning champions and fierce rivals Abu Dhabi Harlequins to BRFC in an excit- ing rematch from our West Asia Cup Final last season. The “Quins” are undoubtedly the team to beat in our region and although they are an extremely humble team they have every right to come to us this evening with lots of confidence. Quins and Exiles are the only 2 teams I haven’t won against in my time in Bahrain and my record against Quins currently sits at 0-4 which doesn’t make for kind reading. Although we do have a confidence about us this evening also - and rightly so after showing glimpses of brilliance in our games against the Quins (Sept 8th) and Kandy last weekend. Many of the players have played in 3 different countries in as many weeks - with our inclusion in the Western Clubs Champions League this year it has given us fantastic preparation for the upcoming campaign. We showed some real attacking threat against Quins in game 1 but struggled with our set piece/ we then went to Kuwait with a mixed side but really made some improvements in our founda- tions - set piece and kicking - and then last but not least our trip to Kandy was massively rewarding in so many ways and the result was all important. We feel we are match hardened now and thus is the nature of the sport we have picked up niggles but so will all the other teams also. Unfortunately one of our niggles just happens to be our talisman and captain Adam Wallace and he will not be involved in this evenings game which is a real shame but he is recovering well. I’ve never been more proud of a group than I was last week when our players represented the club so brilliantly in Sri Lanka - giving back to the children of Sri Lanka was an amazing experience for our players and they carried themselves brilliantly - I couldn’t be prouder. I hope now this evening they do themselves justice and get what they deserve and what they are most certainly capable of - which is that all important win and the league start.

Honours: England U16 + U18s Previous Clubs: Macclesfield RFC/ Cardiff University RFC/ Bridgend RFC. Jon Kenny or “Kenny” as he’s referred to often is a huge character both on and off the pitch. A huge man standing at 6ft 6inches and 18st; he is a real asset to our pack and gives our front 5 a different look this year. A strong and experienced Lock from England and recently plyed his trade for Bridgend RFC in the Welsh Premiership whilst studying his BSc and MSc degrees in Cardiff University. It was during his time at Cardiff University that he played under Bahrain Director of Rugby - Louie Tonkin. Meeting Kenny it was clear at an early stage that he had all the talent in the world. 2 strong seasons at CURFC under Tonkin playing in the BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) Premiership and 2 strong Welsh Varsity appearances Kenny was able to land himself a Semi Professional contract with Bridgend RFC and played for them week in week out against Wales finest 2nd tier players. Whilst at Bridgend RFC - Kenny was asked to represent Ospreys “A” in the Birtish and Irish Cup competition and played in matches against London Irish, Harlequins and the Cornish Pirates. Jon was recruited by the club to strengthen our front 5 and he is already doing that along with the welcome return of Davis Tui. These 2 large forwards bring a physicality and weight to our pack which will make us a formidable outfit for anyone to face. Although a talented player - Jon is also a talented entertainer - if you haven’t seen it yet don't be afraid to ask him for his rendition of the song - Karma Chameleon!

  • United Against Racism
    UNITED AGAINST RACISM The SSA and Saracens are of course committed to tackling the issues of racial inequality prejudice and underrepresentation within society and specifically within the rugby community. We have all seen in the press both sports and mainstream the way players coaches and staff have come together on this matter and the SSA wanted to reiterate our support for the cause. We want to continue to celebrate our diverse and multicultural family whilst providing a platform to speak openly and honestly about what change we want to see. We do not want to be silent or stagnant on this matter. We abhor any form of discrimination and indeed through the Saracens Sport Foundation we have a rich history of tackling social injustice and inequality through the power of sport. But we know we can do more to ensure we are seeing greater representation on and off the field within our game. From the owner, the board, the senior management, the staff and players at Saracens we stand united. Black lives matter. We have a great chance to send a powerful message and educate people more on what this really means. No one disputes that all lives matter, but we must accept that racial discrimination still exists and we must work towards a position where all lives are considered of equal value in society. We must not ignore the past three months and we will not sit on the fence when we have an opportunity to change perceptions. Racism isn’t just easily identifiable prejudice. It can be unwitting, unconscious and for those who don’t come up against it, one might never know it’s there, but we must not be blind to it.
