LW 64: Sam Mahoney
Listen now
Description
Our guest this week, is current squad member and prop superstar Sam Mahoney.   Sam has played prop since his early days at Colchester RFC when he joined them at U11.  We get to learn about his journey in rugby and why he took a gap year to wait for the love of his life to join him at University and when he made the transition from Colts rugby to Senior rugby for Clacton.  At University he bonded with a fellow student and became best mates with Tom Baldwin, which you hear quite a bit about their rugby journey, through Uni to London 1 North and then to London Welsh together. Who was the London Welsh member who encouraged Sam to join the club?  Sam loved his first 3 seasons at the club and became a popular player with our supporters as he was the basis for our strong scrum and he also got over the whitewash a fair few times.  A few concussions prevented him getting a run of games in our second season and work and injury hampered his availability in the third season, but he has still made 39 appearances for us since project reset.  We hear he is desperate to come back and play once he can come back and train more often.  A top guy. Enjoy.
