Nine of the squad have taken part in the District Pathway camps during the week, where the players have been assessed on the key national themese and played out a series of games.

In between we played a good competitive match versus the U14s giving each squad valuable match practice ahead of their tour this weekend and our trip to Murrayfield on Friday. The boys play Langholm on the 3g pitch KO 530 before the Edinburgh game.

Then on sunday, we welcome Dundee to McKane for an 11.30 kick off.

Finally, a get well soon to Danny our front row prop who picked up a bad injury at camp and will be out of action for a few months. Hurry back Danny, we will miss you.
