It's all change in season 2007/08 for the Mighty Stew Mel
3rd XV. After a mixed bag of a season last year, with few
victories and many cancelled games (due mainly to opposition
call offs), the bar has been raised for the coming year.
We've been entered into a new league, 2nd XV League Division
4E (Edinburgh & South), and have consequently got some
new 2nd XV opposition in the shape of Lismore, Forrester,
Linlithgow, Grangemouth, Ross High, Lasswade, Preston Lodge,
Falkirk and Kinross. Joining us are the 3rd XVs of old foes
Accies, Edinburgh Uni and the Nails.
As always, it's going to be good fun and a good standard
of rugby, but this time we've a new challenge and a competitive
league to get our teeth into. With a good level of commitment
from our regulars and some fresh blood, we're more than
capable of making an impact.
We're always on the lookout for new players of any age and/or
ability to join us. The 3rd XV selectors are generally able
to draw on a potent mix of newcomers to the club, young
players, 'resting' 2nd XV players and players who are unable
to train but can still play rugby to a decent standard.
If you fit the bill, please contact managers Mark Coyle
or Brodie Smithers via this
link, or, if you're really brave, then come down
to training on a Tuesday or Thursday night at 6.30 pm on
the back pitches at Inverleith.
Coaches for season 2007/08
The 3rd XV will be coached and managed by Mark
Coyle this season, with the help of Brodie
Smithers (who'll be quickly forgetting the SRU coaching
badges he picked up this summer).
