3rd XV Racks Up 51 Points as Rugby Returns!

Pride of place this week goes to the 3rd XV who racked up over 50 points in a fine home win, on what was only the second match to be played on Lower Mains Park this year!  This was a younger 3rd team than usual, with a few older heads to lead the way.

At Least One of the Reds was Playing Last Saturday!
This is the only action shot we have from last weekend, as all school and club matches were cancelled for the umpteenth time.  Maybe he didn't get on the pitch (those who know his style of play wish he had), but this young Red certainly made himself heard in the Rome crowd.

Once again, everyone's looking at the weather forecast to see if the temperatures will rise enough to let the pitches defrost.  When the NL1 fixtures came out at the start of this season, this Saturday's away match at Ellon was scheduled as our final league game.  Even if it goes ahead, the Reds still have to play 2 home and 3 away rescheduled matches to complete the league season.  See below for details and dates.
