Just another season?

Another season is underway and each age group moves up. It is quite frightening to the see the players progress from the Lion cubs to playing at Murrayfield in the Scottish Cup as young adults.

However, the pleasing thought is that the club continues to produce wonderfully talented players some of whom will no doubt go on to play for Scotland at Murrayfield as adults. The development of skills are key to the club and we are proud that we produce highly skilled players. Nonetheless, the club is also proud that we provide opportunities for players of different skill levels. Most importantly, we are providing chances for children to play who may not get the opportunity to play rugby at school.

It is worth remembering that the success of the club is down to volunteers who give of their time freely. One person who stands out is Lindsay Hamilton. He is responsible for planning and organising our tour to France in Feb 2003. It is by far the most ambitious and exciting challenge that the club has ever undertaken. His drive and enthusiasm is an example to the children and the parents of the club. It is a 'can-do' attitude that is born out of confidence in our club and most of all the children who turn out every Sunday.

This will not be just another season - the parents, volunteers and the children will see to that!
