“Nana ‘Kwaku’ Asiedu & Karim Lynch Join The Championship Squad”

Head Coach, Paul Turner is delighted to confirm that wing Kwaku Asiedu and fullback Karim Lynch have joined Ampthill for the Championship.

Wing Kwaku, 25, joins from Coventry from where he was on loan last season at Cambridge scoring 12 tries in 23 appearances. As a youth he was a sprinter recording 100m in under 11s.

Kwaku comments “I am pleased to join Ampthill and committed to contributing to the Championship campaign to the best of my ability”

Fullback Karim, 30, having made 90+ appearances for Ampthill between 2014 and 2018 rejoins for the
Championship after a season playing for Bournemouth.

Karim comments “I’m pleased to rejoin Ampthill where I have many good memories, I am looking forward to the challenge of playing at Championship level.”

Head Coach Paul Turner comments “Kwaku caused
us all sorts of problems last year whilst he was on loan at Cambridge. We have a number of areas where we believe we can improve his game and are delighted he has joined us for the coming season.”
Karim is a bit of a legend locally playing a key part in Ampthill’s progress through the leagues but work took him away from the area last season where he played for Bournemouth.
He is noted for his exceptional defence and ability under the high ball which I think will be very important as we embark on our first season in the Greene King IPA Championship Rugby

If like most of us you’ve been missing your live rugby this summer then why not come along to Dillingham Park on Saturday afternoon?

The 1881’s have been training hard, ready to defend their Zoo 1 title and have pre-season friendly against Rochford Hundred 1st XV. The game will kick-off at 1 pm on Pitch 4 – it is likely that the 1881’s will feature a couple of the clubs new signings at some point in the game!

Following the success of last Saturday’s Open Day, there will be another opportunity to meet the squad both after the game on the pitch, and in the clubhouse where we will be showing England v Ireland live from Twickenham on Sky Sports!

The Sky dish has been fixed and we trust that we will not have any further occurrence of last season’s problems!

The clubhouse bar will be open from 1200. Please remember that it will be cash or debit/credit cards only this weekend whilst the membership cards are switched off.
