The course was led by Stewart Ross, Angus Rugby Development Officer and was achieved over six sessions. During the sessions they took part in theory and practical coaching lessons then concluded with successfully completing the Scottish Rugby Foundation Coaching and Refereeing award.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caroline Campbell, Montrose Rugby Coach Coordinator said “We are delighted to see their enthusiasm and commitment that has led to them achieving this qualification. The course has given our new coaches the skills and confidence to lead and deliver rugby sessions at school and at the club.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new coaches will be helping out at junior training sessions for children in P4 to S3 on Tuesday 6th and Wednesday 7th July. These will run from 9.30 to 12.00 at Union Park and will cost £3 per day. Newcomers and experienced players are very welcome.

This was a non-competitive tournament for players that were under 22, over 35 or not currently playing rugby. 78 players formed four mixed teams with representation from Montrose, Brechin, Arbroath, Morgan, Strathmore, Mackie, Blairgowrie and HM Coastguard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gordon Clark, Club Treasurer said “While the rugby was very committed, the focus was on having fun. It was great to see so many people taking part and the mix of young and old really worked well. A lot of the players hadn’t played since school and that was quite a long time ago for some! We may get some new players from the evening but the most important thing was to host a community event where players and spectators could enjoy the true spirit of rugby. Now that we have upgraded the floodlights, with the support of the Angus Council Community Grant Scheme, we are going to be able to make use of Union Park for more great evenings like this. If any other sports would like to make use of the improved lighting, we would love to hear from them.” &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8358001267196452270-6915435376606185690?l=montroseminis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://montroseminis.blogspot.com/feeds/6915435376606185690/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8358001267196452270&amp;postID=6915435376606185690' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8358001267196452270/posts/default/6915435376606185690'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8358001267196452270/posts/default/6915435376606185690'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://montroseminis.blogspot.com/2010/03/lads-and-dads-rugby-festival.html' title='Lads and Dads rugby festival.'/><author><name>Montrose Minis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hzz_PuFjWoQ/S7CKK77VoWI/AAAAAAAAAp4/MLhaNqHs9E0/s72-c/Wrinkly+Rugby+19th+March.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358001267196452270.post-8276728598729549780</id><published>2010-03-07T11:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-07T11:47:37.057-08:00</updated><title type='text'>More Qualified Coaches for Montrose</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hzz_PuFjWoQ/S5QCsz9b7NI/AAAAAAAAApw/cPQ3-0XjDpw/s1600-h/DSC_0013.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 384px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 174px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445980818283162834" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hzz_PuFjWoQ/S5QCsz9b7NI/AAAAAAAAApw/cPQ3-0XjDpw/s320/DSC_0013.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Montrose Rugby held a RugbyReady Practical Course at Union Park today.

The tackling and running were much improved from their last outing and they only lost one game in a closely contested match against the eventual winners. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The P6/7 side joined up with Brechin to form a North Angus team. Like their younger counterparts, they demonstrated fantastic commitment that resulted in some well-worked tries and a very credible set of results. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;During the tournament, a number of Montrose players offered to help out other teams that were light on players.

The gumshield has to be worn for anything involving contact, not just kept in your pocket!  While a gumshield may feel strange to start with,  it is as important as a pair of boots.  As well as protecting your teeth, gumshields can help limit concussion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may want to consider a dentist-fitted gumshield.  However, if you are still losing teeth and you are growing, a well-fitted 'boil and fit' gumshield may be enough.  We have basic ones at the club or you can buy a junior or adult gumshields, such as Shock Doctor, from the sports shop on Murray Street or Argos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to find out more about gumshileds, please speak to your dentist.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8358001267196452270-2550186006827912526?l=montroseminis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://montroseminis.blogspot.com/feeds/2550186006827912526/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8358001267196452270&amp;postID=2550186006827912526' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8358001267196452270/posts/default/2550186006827912526'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8358001267196452270/posts/default/2550186006827912526'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://montroseminis.blogspot.com/2009/08/no-gumshield-no-play.html' title='No gumshield - No play!'/><author><name>Montrose Minis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358001267196452270.post-7690299010287869617</id><published>2009-08-14T14:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-14T22:38:46.791-07:00</updated><title type='text'>First Aid Refill</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qNCJyftL19o/SoXURJbshsI/AAAAAAAAAEM/m6PpRSUSnzE/s1600-h/First+aid.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369933437526872834" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hzz_PuFjWoQ/SoXWAqNIEwI/AAAAAAAAAmg/zV9fLT0iOhM/s200/First+aid.jpg" /&gt;Prior to the start of the 09/10 Season, we have been had a generous donation from Montrose Osteopathy.

We found the Brechin team behind their own stand on the edge of the park and joined them in some warm up games. Brechin slightly outnumbered us and leant us one player.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two teams entered the arena together with Brechin taking the kick off. Both sides turned out an excellent exhibition match of micros rugby. The game was full of passes with both sides supporting their ball carriers well. Overall it was a flowing running game with good trys scored at each end. The match was well received by the crowd with the teams getting well deserved cheers and applause at the end of a very sporting game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The P3's then had a exhibition game of contact rugby and finally there was a match by the older Brechin boys, who were also conscripted into a keep fit demo marked by the complete lack of involvement by the coaches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you to Adam, Ben, Christopher, Iain, James and Tim for representing Montrose so well. Also thanks to Richard for coordinating the day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8358001267196452270-9155173445480313973?l=montroseminis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://montroseminis.blogspot.com/feeds/9155173445480313973/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8358001267196452270&amp;postID=9155173445480313973' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8358001267196452270/posts/default/9155173445480313973'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8358001267196452270/posts/default/9155173445480313973'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://montroseminis.blogspot.com/2009/06/micros-at-brechin-pageant.html' title='Micros at Brechin Pageant'/><author><name>Montrose Minis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hzz_PuFjWoQ/Si6s5CDtA0I/AAAAAAAAAjo/Hs9fZXBKvDc/s72-c/IMG_5411.JPG+brechin+pag+1' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358001267196452270.post-569383677295489359</id><published>2009-05-24T11:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-25T13:30:28.566-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fun in the Sun</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hzz_PuFjWoQ/Shmi9dNxL4I/AAAAAAAAAjI/B23koUuJjNQ/s1600-h/Sunny_day.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339478009922531202" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 115px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 114px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hzz_PuFjWoQ/Shmi9dNxL4I/AAAAAAAAAjI/B23koUuJjNQ/s200/Sunny_day.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Today saw the end of the 08/09 season with a fun day at Union Park.

Micros, P4/5 and P6/7 all played fantastic running rugby with good passing and powerful defence. As the end of the season approaches, the Montrose coaches gave some children the opportunity to play up an age group. This allowed players to get a feel for the rules they will be playing next season. All players did remarkably well and demonstrated great potential for another successful season next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321299358856158562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Hzz_PuFjWoQ/SdkNkswinWI/AAAAAAAAAhA/5GcGZLu2COM/s320/Blairgowrie+Rugby+5+4+09+0021.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;P4/5s taking a breather &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A presentation was made by the Blairgowrie Rams coaches at the end of the tournament and all players received a medal for their efforts.

The Sports Centre is beside Montrose Academy and you can find a map &lt;a title="http://www.multimap.com/maps/?zoom=16&amp;amp;countryCode=GB&amp;amp;qs=DD108TR#map=56.70941,-2.46007164&amp;amp;bd=useful_information&amp;amp;loc=GB:56.70887:-2.46007:16DD108TRDD10 8TR" href="http://www.multimap.com/maps/?zoom=16&amp;amp;countryCode=GB&amp;amp;qs=DD108TR#map=56.70941,-2.46007164&amp;amp;bd=useful_information&amp;amp;loc=GB:56.70887:-2.46007:16DD108TRDD10%208TR"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8358001267196452270-1464845623659446403?l=montroseminis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://montroseminis.blogspot.com/feeds/1464845623659446403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8358001267196452270&amp;postID=1464845623659446403' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8358001267196452270/posts/default/1464845623659446403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8358001267196452270/posts/default/1464845623659446403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://montroseminis.blogspot.com/2009/02/matches-cancelled-but-training-at.html' title='Matches cancelled but training at Montrose Sports Centre'/><author><name>Montrose Minis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358001267196452270.post-6683184286599546357</id><published>2009-02-08T00:41:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-08T00:41:34.486-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Training is on today!</title><content type='html'>While it is really cold, it is dry and the sun is coming out.

With the increasing numbers of P1, 2 and 3 players, Montrose was able to field four teams and to loan some players to the visiting teams. There were two Montrose P4/5 teams and one for P6/7. Across all of the mini age groups, Montrose put in strong performances with excellent results against strong teams from Brechin and Carnoustie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Les Gammie, Montrose coach stated “We had around one hundred and fifty children from P1 to S2 playing rugby at Union Park today, with &lt;strong&gt;sixty five&lt;/strong&gt; from Montrose.

The quality of rugby and commitment from both the P4/5s and P6/7s was first class. While some results didn't go our way, we continued to play hard and kept our heads up. While we don't normally pick out individuals, there were outstanding performances in both teams. Ross was player of the day due to his amazing tackling and Angus was put in a skilled performance in both attack and defence to pick up the award for the P4/5s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;At the end of the tournament, when we were all asked to line up, there was only one group that kept quiet and stayed in the line - Montrose. Well done, this is every bit as important as your performance on the pitch so all coaches and parents were delighted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Training next week in Montrose - see you then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261486505397359874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 183px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Hzz_PuFjWoQ/SQSOGaC4lQI/AAAAAAAAAY8/EjpiAWN4c74/s400/DSC_0088.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8358001267196452270-8461634871870824804?l=montroseminis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://montroseminis.blogspot.com/feeds/8461634871870824804/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8358001267196452270&amp;postID=8461634871870824804' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8358001267196452270/posts/default/8461634871870824804'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8358001267196452270/posts/default/8461634871870824804'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://montroseminis.blogspot.com/2008/10/panmure-tournament.html' title='Panmure Tournament'/><author><name>Montrose Minis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hzz_PuFjWoQ/SQSHQmVmbEI/AAAAAAAAAY0/bwa1usCRTmM/s72-c/DSC_00631.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358001267196452270.post-8986654472507712356</id><published>2008-10-05T12:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-05T13:50:24.634-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Banff Players in Montrose</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hzz_PuFjWoQ/SOknk9kcvLI/AAAAAAAAAYc/At14T_97fi4/s1600-h/P1000123.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253773956260609202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hzz_PuFjWoQ/SOknk9kcvLI/AAAAAAAAAYc/At14T_97fi4/s400/P1000123.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Banff Minis made their first trip to Montrose, bringing Micros, P4/5s and P6/7s.

Micros (P1/2/3), P4/5 and P6/7 age groups were all represented and there was strong support for the Montrose players.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The micros played non-contact 'tag' rugby and there was an excellent display of skills, despite their young age. In the P4/5's we fielded two teams against a spirited Brechin side. Strong running and good passing was demonstrated by all the Montrose players and we can look forward to another successful season at this age group. Our P6/7 team started quickly and maintained a very high standard of rugby throughout. Philippe Magalon, P6/7 coach described the performance as "sublime"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some more action shots from the game at &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/MontroseMinis/MatchesAtBrechin"&gt;http://picasaweb.google.com/MontroseMinis/MatchesAtBrechin&lt;/a&gt;.

This is a pity as the event in Dundee at Easter was very good.  It is hoped that they will offer a full programme of courses for children next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A couple of commercial companies are running camps, Rugby Matters and Rugby Excellence.  The details are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rugby Matters – Aberdeen, 14th to 18th July (&lt;a title="http://www.sportmattersacademies.com/smg-35-Scotland--.html" href="http://www.sportmattersacademies.com/smg-35-Scotland--.html"&gt;http://www.sportmattersacademies.com/smg-35-Scotland--.html&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rugby Excellence – Aberdeen, 21st to 25th July (&lt;a href="http://www.rugby-excellence.co.uk/?page=Fixtures"&gt;http://www.rugby-excellence.co.uk/?page=Fixtures&lt;/a&gt;).  Note that they seem to focus on tag rugby until players are 13.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Players from Montrose have attended previous Rugby Matters courses and they have been very good.  I have no experience of Rugby Excellence.  If anyone wants to go and would like to share lifts, please get in touch with Duncan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a chance that Kenny Christie will be coordinating a rugby course for children in Montrose and details will be posted if this is going ahead.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8358001267196452270-4637165768667468504?l=montroseminis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://montroseminis.blogspot.com/feeds/4637165768667468504/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8358001267196452270&amp;postID=4637165768667468504' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8358001267196452270/posts/default/4637165768667468504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8358001267196452270/posts/default/4637165768667468504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://montroseminis.blogspot.com/2008/06/summer-rugby-camps.html' title='Summer Rugby Camps'/><author><name>Montrose Minis</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358001267196452270.post-8486306062404336508</id><published>2008-06-12T04:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-12T04:47:29.385-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Minis in The Review</title><content type='html'>Our fun day made it into the Montrose Review as well.
