Wisbech Warriors 1998 - 2003
A name original given to the squad by former Mini/youth chairman
Richard Pinning when he register the team for the Six
Counties 7's championships which they also won. A name and
warrior reputation that stuck with them as they rose to become a
respected force in their age group across the eastern region. The
most successful Wisbech squad, they palmed in more silverware and titles
in recent history than any other Wisbech side. Several key players
have left and gone on to play rugby at a higher level, George Fraulo

schools in the country Sedbergh have delivered 32
full international caps. Running 3 sides in every age group,

skipper of CI, the under 14 A side. A true testimonial of the
quality of the side that was the the 1998 - 2003 Wisbech
