Try Rugby a Success

THE game of rugby was put to the test in Scone last night with Scone Junior Rugby Union running a Try Rugby evening.

The club welcomed new players at Scone Rugby Park and ran a session of skills and drills to demonstrate the basics of rugby. The event also coincided with the first training session, with a majority of last year´s players returning for the 2016 season.

Scone Junior Rugby Union President Tor Killman said the Try Rugby session aimed to give newcomers an insight into the game of rugby union.
´´It was great. We had quite a few new kids come down and have a go, especially in the Under 6 age group,´´ he said.
´´We are hoping to attract more players to the club and continue to build the profile of rugby in Scone.´´

Killman said anyone interested in trying rugby is welcome to come to training next Friday April 8 from 5pm.

´´We welcome players of all levels,´´ he said. ´´It´s always a great, social atmosphere down here on a Friday night. The kids train and then enjoy a sausage sizzle and muck around with their mates´´ he said.
