Continuing our post season Q&A's, we sat down with David Roast (player coach), to talk about his aims for the season, bread, and what he really thinks of Ross Reed....

- You've recently come back to the club after some time away. What's your earliest memory of the club?
Playing for Barking’s development team and being introduced to a young Marcus Bloomberg! Five minutes into the game, Bluie had chipped through, chased and scored!!

- How did you get into rugby?
Mr Richards, a Welsh PE teacher at secondary school, told me to give up on my hopes and dreams of playing in the NBA and concentrate on rugby!

- What are your aims for the club this season?
With the players we have and a few more to come in, I believe we will be strong challengers for the title.

- Which player are you most similar to? Why?
Ross Reed! I can only last 40 minutes if I’m playing front row too!

- How would you describe your coaching style?
Approachable and open to new ideas. Even if they are from Ross Reid.

- Which barking player are you looking forward to coaching the most. Why?
Got to be Connor O’Toole! Heard he was bit of a player? Looking forward to getting him in shape and hitting some hard lines!

- Come dine with me, 3 courses, what we saying?
Mmmm, bread roll to start, tiger bread with butter for mains and bread pudding for dessert.

- Occupation
PE teacher.

- Favourite dawn meal?
Dawn Special!

- Is it true you like whisking your Mrs away on Harry potter adventures?
Love it mate!! Hoping one day to get a job at Hogwarts teaching quidditch!!

Finally.........what do you really think of Ross reed?
Off the pitch, true gentleman! Salt of the earth kind of guy!! On the pitch, animal!!
