Former England U21 and Bristol Rugby's Loosehead Prop Mark Irish returned to Beggars Brook on 20th July 2011 to provide some help with pre-season training. Mark was able to give the lads some important tips and tricks that he has picked up whilst involved at the higher levels of the game.
Mark's early rugby career included time at North Petherton as a Junior before moving to Bridgwater. Following a couple of seasons at Gloucester Mark has since established himself as a regular in Bristol Rugby's front row.
Following a strong 20010/11 season Mark was named in the RFU Championship Dream XV.
