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.

KEN'S UPDATE !

Another Saturday in January & another double!!

The 1st XV had an “ugly” win over a battling Dunbar side and the 2nds had what seemed to be a great result against an experienced Edinburgh Northern 2nds : 36-something is what I was told – 6 tries to 2 anyway.

From a Club perspective this is great, especially when the age profile of the 2nds was leaning towards youth rather than experience !! ( Wot no PGs ? )

However as you know I’m a greedy sod & I want more. Lets try and repeat this again next weekend – 1sts at home to Hawick ‘Quins and 2nds away to Dunbar 2nds.
Both will be 2pm KO’s.

PARIS ?

Inverleith have a long standing fixture in Paris against a French side when Scotland play there.
This year we are struggling to make a XV so I am asking you to appeal to your players going to Paris to take their boots and to turn out for us on the Friday evening before the International.
If any of your players show interest please give me their email or phone number so that I can follow it up.
