The U15 boys travelled to Cambuslang at the weekend to take part in the Cambuslang U15 10s festival, enjoying a fantastic day in the Glasgow sunshine.

"All the lads were excellent today and should be really proud of themselves. A new format for us as we hadn't played 10s before, against some really strong teams we hadn't faced before, and we more than stood up to that challenge and were superb in all our games. Wins against Boroughmuir and Cambuslang, a draw against Greenock, and three one score losses to Cambuslang, Dumfries and Ayr that could have very easily gone our way with a different bounce or break of the ball.

The boys worked incredibly hard and will have learnt so much from the experience, proving to me what I already knew: they can absolutely mix it with the best our age group has to offer. Hopefully the boys now start to believe that too. 

This weekend also marked the end of our season at U15s. A very good season overall: lots of good rugby and some real learning points and experiences we will take forward. Time to rest up as we prepare to enter the national set up next season and look forward to opportunities to compete with the best clubs from across the country on a regular basis."

Graeme Craig, U15 boys Head Coach.

The U15 boys travelled to Stonehaven at the weekend to take part in the Mackie U15 7s festival, winning the Shield Final against Garioch to round off a good days rugby.

"A really good and enjoyable day out for the boys at the weekend. We haven't played a great deal of 7s so we've had to learn and adapt to the change of pace but the boys took it in their stride and played some great stuff at times. 

A win against the hosts Mackie to open the day, followed by a narrow defeat against a really good Moray side meant we competed in the Shield Final against Garioch, where we came out on top in a really great contest. A great experience and deserved win for the lads that were selected.

One more festival for us this season as we travel to take part in the Cambuslang 10s this weekend. Another new challenge for the lads and a fantastic opportunity to compete against some teams we haven't faced before."

Graeme Craig, U15 boys Head Coach.

The U16 girls were in action at the Stirling County Girls Rugby festival last weekend and enjoyed a great day out. 

"The girls played superbly and made the final against Biggar, facing off against them for the second time having played them earlier in the day. We had beaten them in the first game but unfortunately just lost out in the final. This was the girls first outing as a team playing 7s and so making a final was superb, all the coaches are very proud."

Owen Hughes, U16 girls Head Coach.
