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.

NBHS S2 XV "Working at the Car Wash"

The boys are running a car wash on Saturday 1pm - 4pm at the Fire Station to raise funds for their forthcoming tour to Belfast http://s2rugbytour.blogspot.com/

These boys are well worth supporting - in the guise of NBRFC U14s ( ie school team plus 4 others who came through the Minis but were sent to other schools due to misguided parents ) convincingly beat Currie RFC last weekend who until then thought they were the bees knees.

Full report on the NBRFC Website


Drop in on the way to or from the game on Sat - take the p*ss out of Steve T as he leans over and presses his manboobs against your windscreen ?
