Training in all weathers

Training on a Sunday and Tuesday evening will be in ALL weathers unless it is cancelled on the website. We play matches in the rain and wind therefore it is essential that we train in these conditions as well.
Please make sure you check the website for details and bring waterproofs if its raining.
There will always be coaches waiting to train you unless its cancelled here.

U15 team for next season.

We are pleased to announce that for next season (2009/2010) there will be a combined Montrose and Brechin Under 15 team. This will be for boys born in 1995 or later (mainly next year's S3).

Full details are being developed but we are currently ordering strips and arranging fixtures. Training and matches will be split between Montrose and Brechin.

It looks unlikely that there will be an Angus Colts Under15 team next year. However, we believe Strathmore, Carnoustie, Panmure and Mackie will all have Under15 teams.

Developement Days.

Montrose Junior Rugby held their Easter development days for boys and girls from P4 to S2 at Union Park for our . Led by Stewart Ross, Angus Rugby Development Officer, over 40 children learned new skills and played games. He was supported by coaches from Montrose and Brechin Rugby Clubs.
Over the two days there were sessions on passing, tackling, running and kicking. Each of the age groups also played a lot of games to hone their skills.
Richard Neville, Montrose coach commented "It was great to see so many children at the development days. Whilst some regular players attended, we had many new faces. The newcomers showed real talent and we hope to see them all at training on Sunday mornings."
At the end of the second day, every player was presented with a mini rugby ball from the SRU
