1030 - RBS Rugbyforce gets underway refurbishing ladies changing room. 2pm - training match v Preston Lodge. All welcome

Two activities this Saturday - all support welcome.

1030 pm sees the kick off RBS Rugbforce - we have been awarded £1,000 as a contribution to the refurbishment of the ladies changing room. This is part of our wider plans to refurbish all our changing rooms.

Work to remove the square "bench" and instal benches gets underway at 1030. Possibly also some painting. Elaine Martin is the "gaffer" should you want to help.

Three Scotland players will pop in about 1pm (for a couple of hours) to help/see how we are getting on - hooker Fraser Brown (Scotland & Glasgow Warriors), lock Scott Cummings (U20 & Glasgow Warriors) and that well known AN Other!

Pop up if you want to try and get a selfie or autograph OR impress them with your DIY skills! They will asnwer questions, pose for photos, and join in some of the rugby games some of the Academy players will be playing.

At 2pm we also have a seniors training match with Preston Lodge, 4 x 20 minute sessions. After last week's victory regaining the Lanarkshire Cup, come and see some of our youngsters who played some great rugby last week (as did the oldies!).

The plan to have two XVs from each side play each other has been revamped so only one squad for each team. Come and admire President Peter Hagerty's "bus stops" - if he manages to dig two more holes (dare I say he is usually in a hole!) - his own Rugbyforce programme!
