10th & 11th May The Magnificent 7s

Well done to the U16 7 The squad - Ciaran Gilbert, Andrew McGowan, Callum Crawford, Russell Virtue, Ian McGarrity, Chris King, Chris Stannage, Lyle Calder, Ross Inglis and Grant Sneddonwho got to the Final of the Glasgow City Youth 7s

On route to the final they played some excellent rugby beating Duncanrig 59-0; Strathaven 40-7 and Haddington 26-10. In the final the came up against a very good Boroughmuir squad and unfortunately lost out 26-10.

Also congratulations to the S1 squad playing in their first ever 7s They won the inaugural Allan Glens tournament on Sunday. Picture of the winning squad here and Full report here.

Unfortunately the 1st 7 didn't fair as well in the main Glasgow City 7s Tournament losing in the first round to Stirling County then losing to Perthshire in the 1st round of the plate. However, this was a good experience for the young side. The squad with an average age of 20 was led by club captain Allan Dodds and included teenagers Craig Inglis, Owen McLeish , Ralph McInally and Chris McLaughlin plus twenty one year old Andy Thomson and Roddy Wallace (who used to be in his twenties!!!). The other two players were Ross Inglis and Grant Sneddon who joined the squad straight from the final of the under 16 tournament!!

District Youth Squads

The final round of trials for the Lanarkshire Lions and the Glasgow chiefs were held last week and The midi coaches are delighted with the number of their players that have made it into the final squads.  All the Squads are 30 strong and are selected from around 40 High schools and 12 Rugby Clubs from both North and South Lanarkshire. It is a reflection on the quality of the coaching and dedication of both the players and their parents at Hamilton that has resulted in almost a quarter of all the players coming from our club. Well done to all the boys and to everyone involved in helping them along the way to their successful selection. Full details here
