Fun for all at Foxlake!

This season our new U15’s Girls team joined that great rugby tradition and went on an end of season tour.

Before Christmas a quick email to Murrayfield informed me that the team to play was Biggar RFC just south West of Edinburgh. I got in touch and we were on. Mind you no one bothered to tell me that they are reigning Scottish Cup Champions!!

Biggar have been excellent throughout. Very helpful in pointing us in the right direction when tour planning and great hosts.

We played a close and very exciting game on the Saturday which you will have read about in match reports.

We were then well fed at the club, made a few presentations which is a lovely tradition and off we went. Singing and laughing as we went, a bit of a theme of the weekend.

We booked out a small hostel in Edinburgh, quick shower and change and we headed off for an excellent evening on the town, well, Nandos and bowling. Really good fun.

After a late night, it was breakfast and then a few hours sight seeing, well shopping on Princess Street, then back on the bus heading for Foxlake at Dunbar.

Wet suits on it was the very challenging high ropes over water followed by the high speed action of wake boarding.


Back in time for team. We all had the best weekend and so good to see that the girls have all become such firm friends. Surely what rugby is all about. Next season we look forward to the return match as Biggar come across the Border down to Alnwick.

Where next for the 2019 tour???
