Rugby Update

Well done to the boys in their cup match on Wednesday past. The occasion was marked by a massive crowd of over 100 and all spectators I spoke to were more than impressed at the positive attitude of all the team and the amazing way that the team is improving game by game. We obviously have a lot to work on but all the boys can be extremely proud of themselves as they showed they could take on the 'top dogs' and give them a scare or 2 at times.

N.B - Can I just take this time to say that as one of the team coaches I am very impressed with how this new venture has taken off this year. We are much further on at this stage than I ever thought possible and that is a token of how positive and committed the team have been so far. Can I also thank Gus and Bob as well because without them we certainly would never have got to where we are at present!

After the mid-week battle against Bell Baxter we move on quickly to the next fixture. As most of you know we have drawn Dalziel High School in the 1st Round of the Bell Lawrie Plate competition. The details of the fixture are listed below:

Date: Thursday 8th November 2007

Kick Off: 4.30pm

Venue: Strathmore RFC

Please pass the word around to all possible fans because if we get the same excellent support from last week I am sure we can create a competition upset and gain even more recognition for the team throughout the rugby community in Scotland.

A message for players: Please be at the club and stripped by 4.15pm on Thursday as we are getting some press coverage for the match and the photographers from the papers should be there to get team photographs. There will also be a player meeting on Tuesday @ 11am in Room 128 for all players to attend (obviously not the Websters guys but I will get the messages relayed to you through Gus).

That is about it at present but I will be updating the blog ,where possible on a daily basis this week so keep reading for up to date information and lets look forward to the match on Thursday.
