The Great Leg Wax - Sun 3rd April.

On Sunday April 3rd, Alistair Grove-White, Fraser McKay, Duncan Campbell and Stewart Ross are going to get their legs waxed at Union Park!

This is to help raise funds for our new Community Coach - Fraser Mckay (2nd from the left).

From August 2011, Fraser will be employed by the SRU and Montrose Rugby for two years to help increase the number of children taking part in rugby in the Montrose area.

The club has to part-fund this and in order to help the process these 4 brave men have offered their legs!

Nice kick Robbie.

Duncan scoring a try.

Last Sunday saw us having to train in the snow at Union Park . With silly hats and welly boots may tries were scored and the scoring team were able to pelt the opposition with snow balls.

After training it was back to the clubhouse for soup , hot chocolate and Robbies birthday cake !

Thanks to everyone who came along.

U16 / U18 At Union Park

Montrose Academy /Arbroath High U16

Union Park saw 'Highlanders' (combined Pitlochry and Aberfeldy) come to Montrose for Brewin Dolphin Schools Bowl fixtures. The U16 and U18 teams were combined Montrose Academy / Arbroath High.

The Under 16s had a tough first half as they got to know each other and bed into their new positions. However, the second half saw a newly-found spirit that led to some excellent tries and made for a very close second half.

The Under 18s were unable to field a full team, so it was decided to play ten-a-side. The Montrose /Arbroath team stormed into a very strong lead in the first half through great off-loading and agressive running. The second half started in the same manner but the session had to be brought to an early close when one of the players hurt their knee and was unable to leave the pitch. Fortunately, the player made a speedy recovery once the ambulance suggested a trip to Dundee!

The Highlanders also brought an S1/2 squad and they played a number of sessions with an Arbroath S1/2 team.

Well done to all of the players who supported the teams today.
