On Sat 30th April our P6/7 squad went to the Lathallan 7's tournament. This is the first time this event has been held and our Montrose team played excellently.
Each team had to play 10 mins of rugby and the Montrose side soon showed that they had been training hard. Their off loading, support and communication was fantastic.They came 3rd overall just missing out to the overall winners Aberlour.

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!

The crew....
On Friday 5th Nov 25 minis and S1/2 went to Murrayfield for the Edinburgh v Benneton match.
Montrose were lucky enough to be asked to act as guard of honor at the start of the match and half time as well as doing the halftime entertainment on the trackside at Murrayfield.
Thank you to all the dads and youth coaches that came along to help look after the kids.
A huge thank you to Caroline, Doc and Stewart for organising it all for us.
On Sunday 31st we all went to Blairgowrie for the annual tournament. We entered teams at micros (p2/3), P4/5 (2 teams) and P6/7. All the teams played matches against Blairgowrie, Arbroath, Carnoustie, Panmure and Kinross. All teams showed excellent running, passing and support . A huge thank you to all the parents that ferried kids to Blairgowrie and back even stopping at MacDonalds on the way home!
