DARYL Bath and Adrian Snowden are the newest additions to Pirates life membership board.

The pair were bestowed the honour at the clubs presentation night in recognition of their years of service to the club.

Both have coached at some time, and worked tirelessly behind the scenes, whether it be marking the lines or filing paperwork or any of the other many duties involved in running a club.

Bath has been there since the 1980s. He played a handful of games but then a shoulder injury ended his playing days.

Wanting to stay involved he turned to coaching, and coached first grade from 82-84 and half of 86.

It was good fun. I enjoyed it. I made a lot of friends that I still have, Bath said.

That is one of the best things about being involved with a rugby club, he said.

The best part about a rugby club is its a family, he said.

His time in charge was pretty successful. Pirates made the semi-finals in 83 and were finalists in 84.
