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.

Fancy footwork
