John Fisher, a founder member of Grove Rugby Club and a proud Welshman, is the new men’s captain at Drayton Park.
Fisher, from Harwell, where he has just stood down as a parish councillor, succeeds Bill Major.
A large crowd gathered for his drive-in where he was serenaded by a choir singing ‘Delilah.’ A schoolmaster, he taught in Grove, Wantage, Didcot and Abingdon, becoming head teacher at Hagbourne CE Primary and Rush Common Primary in Abingdon.
During his career he was also a schools advisor in Oxford City, Witney and Didcot.
His chosen charity is the Harwell RBL Poppy Appeal Fund.
