Rugby talisman signs on with Marist St Pats
Marist St Pats is delighted to announce that Kas Lealamanua has been appointed to the role of Club Coaching Co-ordinator.
A talisman on and off the field, Kas is aware of the skills and attributes necessary for rugby players, teams and clubs to be successful.
After beginning his career straight from St Patricks College in 1996, Kas quickly became part of several champion Marist St Pats teams. Kas won his first Jubilee Cup in 1997 and following that initial championship captained the MSP Premier team to four further Jubilee Cup victories, most recently in 2012; he also has three Swindale Shield victories to his name.
Kas represented Manu Samoa at the 2003 and 2007 Rugby World Cups and then played internationally in France and England and at Provincial level in New Zealand before returning with his wife and family to Wellington.
He expects to take up the Marist St Pats CCO reins shortly. He will be working with the development of rugby coaches and players at all ages throughout the Wellington Region including St Patricks College.
In announcing the appointment MSP Chairman, Bill Harrison, said that Kas brings a valued skill set and knowledge that the Board believes will be key to MSP over the summer months and during 2014.
As an indication that Kas expects to hit the ground running, he welcomes player and coach contact, by phone or text 021 120 3958, or by email at msprugby@xtra.co.nz
