Lenzie
Veseyans
To borrow a quote from the political pundits
‘it’s the economy stupid’. A large percentage of
the club’s income comes from the bar, the level
of which depends to a large extent on player
numbers and through that the number of home
games played by the senior teams.

Lenzie RFC is a club that plays a vital role in their local community, particularly in relation
to the development of young players. Rugby Club Magazine caught up with Club Secretary
Charlie Stewart to find out more about the good work that they have been doing.
He told us, “One of the main challenges facing this
and almost every other club is how to increase
player numbers. When I started out the local
school, Lenzie Academy, in common with many
others throughout Scotland had up to 9 rugby
teams playing every Saturday and at the start of
each new season the rugby club could expect to
get an influx of school leavers to swell their ranks.
