Boroughmuir Rugby Festival - Wednesday 20th November

Congratulations to our Sciennes Rugby team on their performance at yesterday's Borouhmuir Rugby Club festival.

Victory was recorded against Oxgangs before an excellent full contact match was played out with Boroughmuir Rugby Club's P6 Team. Some excellent tackles were put in from us, while two excellent scores complemented our fearless attitude.

To top it off the team met some of the touring Australia Rugby Squad for pictures and autographs before a question and answer session finished the day. 

Below is a photo of a couple of our team taking out a few tackle bags. Watch this space for more pictures.
