Mini Rugby - Past & Present

21/9/2023

- Past and Present -

Here are a few snaps of some of our current first team players, showing where it all began. This could be your son or daughter!

Kirkwall are looking to increase their minis section, so if you think your son or daughter could be a future First XV player take them along on a Saturday morning for training 10-11am.

East Rookies and Minis are also looking to increase both sections. They currently train on a Sunday 10:30am at the Holm pitch.

U14 boys are looking for a few extra boys. They train alongside the other youth section on a Wednesday from 6-7:30pm.

One thing that has not changed over the years is post training coke and crisps!
