What's on at Strathaven RFC This Weekend?

Hi folks a couple of reminders then we’re straight into it;

STAG DINNER - Another reminder which will appear weekly until the event - Strathaven RFC’s Annual Stag Dinner, Saturday the 26th of April @ 6:30pm for a 7pm start. This is Strathaven RFC’s biggest night of the year for all of the gents of the club, stooped in history it’s also the clubs longest running night. Tickets are £25.00 per person which includes a three course meal with tea and coffee, table service, speeches from our very own President Garry Tough and Club Captain Joe McCallum, the 1XV awards ceremony including Most Improved Player, Players Player & Coaches Player of the Season. This year we have two highly prestigious after dinner speakers in Jim “Buller” Reid who we would bill as highly funny and extremely entertaining. Along with Jim we have former Scotland International captain Peter Brown, Peter is also an independent member of Scottish Rugby's appeals panel and acts as a match and discipline commissioner for both the RBS Six Nations and the Heineken European Cup so we expect he will have some excellent Rugby based stories for us. This really is a great social night for all men of the club to come together for a lot of laughs and a lot of “refreshment”. We hope to see everyone there. Tickets can be purchased from behind the bar NOW.

Now what’s on this weekend?

On Saturday training will start from 10am as usual for P1-U16’s. The level of cleanliness in the changing rooms after training has been shocking as of late. Please make sure all your rubbish goes in the bin and the changing rooms are swept/ mopped out if it’s your turn to do so. We are one club and everyone has to do their bit.

Our 1XV are away to Carrick this weekend kicking off at 3pm. Our boys had their most difficult week of the season last Saturday against Cumbernauld with many of the squad injured or unavailable due to work, the guys travelled down with 18 players available including 1XV coach Rab Foulds on the teamsheet. With many of the injuries set to carry on throughout the last 4 fixtures of the season the 1XV need all the support they can get so come along to Carrick RFC on Saturday and cheer our boys on Carrick play at the following address;
