Dyfan Pierce took over as the UK Armed Forces Men’s Head Coach in March 2020. It followed the team’s historic fourth successive Kentish Cup title, a three-way annual tournament between UK, French and Dutch Forces. It preceded, however, a global pandemic and lockdown which means, under his two-year tenure, the men have only played four matches.

Dyfan talks to Forces Sport about the competitive summer ahead, the challenges he faces and his drive for the team to adopt the UKAF culture and ethos for success.
