Under 18 Scotland Rugby Trial
Written by: Harry Murray, S6
At the start of January I was ask to attend the
U18 Reds and Blues training squad sessions.
This is run by the U18 Scotland rugby
programme and is taken very serious amongst
the players and staff. The training sessions are
trials to play in a game against the Celts &
Druids which is the U18 Welsh team in Cardiff.
There are five training sessions and each one
we are trained by a number of top tier
Scotland coaches. The experience is
unbelievable as I get to experience what it’s
like at the next level of rugby. It was an honour
to be selected and I’m very excited to see
what the future holds.

the Regional Heat

simultaneously with a
live feed connecting
the two venues. The
competition
was
based
around
interactive
team
activities
with
chemistry as a central
theme. The team
consisted of Kathryn

Erin
McKergow and Eilidh
Baird (both S3) and
Eve Moncrieff (S2).
The
pupils
unfortunately did not
get placed but were
a credible 10th out of
25 schools. Well done
to the team!
