Following Ian "Iggy" Samuel-Smith's decision to step down from the role of Honorary President as his role as Coach of the Kings Cross Steelers threatened to present a conflict of interests, we were extremely pleased to secure Lyn Brown as a replacement.

A novice to the game of rugby, she is looking forward to hearing more about "her team" and plans to come to Holland Road to take in a game as soon as possible. Look out for an interview with Lyn on www.phantomsrfc.com in the near future
