Aberfeldy Astro is a Hit !

Many thanks to all those who attended the Aberfeldy after school club on Monday night, the first night on the new astro pitch.All those attending clearly enjoyed themselves and it was great to see everyone trying out their attacking skills on the wider pitch.Well done to Johnny and Hayden who both managed to pull off some outrageous dummies , and to Henry and Eddie who both mastered the switch pass.
Next week there will be some new skills drills and a new version of end ball.
All new players are very welcome and we look forward to seeing you all next Monday night.
ps Don`t forget your drinks.

School Astro

With the clocks going back and the onset of the wet weather we are moving the After School Rugby session and the Academy session up to the new school astro as of Monday 3 November. Please remember to bring your trainers.

Tayside Tigers

I’m thinking ahead to the next ‘Tayside Tigers’ training session. The Tayside Tigers is the select sides for the best young rugby players in Tayside. By the way I must congratulate Finlay Campbell from Ballinluig for being selected for the squad. Well done Finlay!

Development Day

We had some great feedback about the Rugby Development Day at Pitlochry last Sunday. Over 50 kids took part and it was a really good event. Many thanks must go to Atholl RFC for staging the event.
