Montrose has four more Level 1 coaches

Scottish Rugby held their first UKCC Level 1 coaching course in Montrose this weekend. Sixteen coaches attended the three day course, which was led by Doc McKelvey, Scottish Rugby Development Manager, supported by Rugby Development Officers Stewart Ross (Angus) and Paul Hunter (Fife). As well as coaches from Montrose, representatives came from across Scotland and one travelled from Italy to attend!

We are delighted that four of our coaches completed the course: Callum Ruxton, Caroline Campbell, Mike Roulston and Sam Grove-White. Well done to all of them.

Stewart Ross, Angus Rugby Development Officer, ran a development day for P4 to S2 players at Montrose. We had over twenty players and the weather was far better than the previous week!

Thanks to Stewart for organising the day.

Donkey Derby

Montrose Junior Rugby was invited to put on a demonstration at this year's Donkey Derby. We put on some drills and then played both tag and full-contact rugby. We also had a stall with the large inflatable rugby posts for people to try their luck at conversions.

A huge thank you to everyone that came along to play and show off their skills on Sunday. You were all fantastic ambassadors for Montrose Junior Rugby.
