Stew Mel vs Musselburgh,
22/3/08
Inverleith Angle
We welcome Musselburgh RFC back to Inverleith this afternoon
for a Scottish Hydro Electric Premiership Division 2 match.
It has only been three weeks since we last played Musselburgh,
also at Inverleith, in the Cup competition, and I am sure
that since then the players have all had an opportunity
to reflect on the team's performance that day.
A game of rugby is played for the full 80 minutes. You
cannot expect to get a result by only playing for 25 minutes
of a game, especially when that time is split between 7
minutes at the start and 18 minutes at the end! The team
showed in the earlier part of the season that it is capable
of playing to a high standard, and nothing less than these
high standards will be acceptable for the remaining three
games of the season.
The 2nd XV are at home today for a crunch game against
Stirling County in the 2nd XV League, whilst the 3rd XV
are away at Falkirk. The disjointed nature of this part
of the season has meant that the 2nd XV have only had one
game since the start of February and the 3rd XV haven't
played since mid February because the opposition were unable
to field teams on two separate occasions.
This afternoon we also welcome, as guests of the Club,
a number of boys who will be leaving School this year. Some
of them have already experienced a training session with
the Club, and we very much hope that they have enjoyed that
experience and will repeat it again in the near future.
The Club is always on the look out for players who are keen
either to play social rugby or who would like to challenge
for a position in the 1st XV.
Please note that the Annual Dinner of the Rugby Club will
be held on Saturday 12th April at 7:00 pm for 7:30 pm at
Inverleith. Tickets are priced at £25 and forms are
behind the bar.
The last 'home' game of the season will now be played at
Murrayfield on 12th April because the posts will be down
at Inverleith.
As this is the last set of programme notes for the season,
I would like to record my thanks to all the players, committee
members and supporters for everything they have done for
the Club this season. Maybe next season the Club will achieve
its potential!
