Montrose Mini's P4/5 and P6/7 squads travelled to Forfar to take part in the Strathmore’s annual tournament. Dry and sunny weather meant that playing conditions were ideal for running rugby. With ten teams in each age group, Montrose were placed in the top half of the draw and played matches against Strathmore Sharks, Dundee Eagles, Carnoustie and Blairgowrie Rams.
P4/5s against Dundee Eagles
Despite the Easter holidays, the P4/5 squad was strong with twelve players. Right from their first match against the hosts, they played strong, aggressive rugby to the delight of the coaching team.
P6/7 Breaking through against Carnoustie
The P6/7s really started to use the skills they have learned in training and put on a dazzling display of open, running rugby.
Montrose Coach Andy Hogan stated “Every player showed remarkable commitment in every match. The quality of the tries was of the highest order. Both squads have improved significantly throughout the season and are now playing as a cohesive team. They should all should be very proud of their performance today.”
