Puffin Gannets & North Berwick RFC

The Royal Burgh of North Berwick is a seaside town in East Lothian, Scotland. It is situated on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, approximately 25 miles east of Edinburgh. Several of the Islands of the Forth near the town host thriving colonies of sea birds. The most famous island being the Bass Rock which is home for many thousands of Puffins and tens of thousands of Gannets.

The town has a great sense of community spirit and North Berwick RFC is one of the main hubs. The club has active teams in senior, youth and mini rugby. The rugby club, at Recreation Park, is where you are most likely to find one or more of the rare Puffin Gannets. These mature members of the club like to give their wisdom and advice to the whippersnappers who play in the numerous teams the club fields. From time to time, the old Puffin Gannets put down their pints and nips, hang up their coats and scarfs, pack up the walking frames and sticks to don the pink and grey shirts, head out to the park and attempt to entertain with their particular brand of Puffin Gannet, Golden Oldie Rugby.

Weekend Results !!

Edinburgh lose to Munster, Scotland lose to Macedonia ..... :-(

But the PUFFINS beat CHICAGO twice in one day , NBRFC sit on top of Scottish Hydro Electric East Regional League Division 1 2008/2009 having stuffed Duns and the 2nd XV had a comfortable victory over Portobello with a tired and stray Puffin or two adding some experience to the side !! Well done to the Pufflings !! Presumably NBHS had a clean sweep too ? Maybe we'll get a smile from Mumper

Come on Andy Murray - we'll trade the Macedonia match for an US Open !!

The Manager

I think I might have swapped his watch for a T-shirt. Was it a good swap?
