Another Anselmian player hits the big time by accepting a professional contract with Newcastle Falcons. Chris Pilgrim was a successful trialist with the Guinness Premiership outfit and has now been awarded a full-time pro contract. Chris earned his spurs with Loughborugh Colleges and National One team, Nottingham. But, he acknowledges that his time with St Anselm's College and the Old Boys Club gave him the springboard to launch his rugby career.
