SALISBURY Rugby Club have installed Dave Bell as first team captain for the forthcoming season.

A prominent member of the squad during the past two seasons, Bell replaces Don Parsons who stepped down at the end of the 2002/3 campaign.

Bell has already tasted success as skipper when he led Salisbury to victory in the Lytchett Min-ster sevens last month.

The club starts pre-season training on Tuesday.
