Aberdeen Grammar RFC is based on 86 Queens Road
in Aberdeen and their first team will be competing in
the BT National Division 1 this season. They are led by
the team of President Graham Barron and Chairman
Gordon Thomson and the team is looking to progress
under their guidance.
Aberdeen Grammar does not focus solely upon senior
rugby and this is reflected by the fact that they also
have youth sides running. These team’s look to provide
young players from the local area with an opportunity
to play the game in a safe and enjoyable environment
whilst helping them to reach their full potential.
It would be fair to say that their first team did not
perhaps enjoy the campaign that they would have like
last time around as they put together a record of having
won 3 and lost 15 of their 18 matches. This saw them
finish bottom of the league with 23 points.
It is important for any club to be able to produce their
own talent, particularly in the current financial climate
and this is an area that they appear to have covered.
Given their first team’s performances last time around,
now would seem like an ideal opportunity to blood
some young talent.
The team will be keen to bounce straight back this time
around and put last season’s campaign behind them.
So long as they are able to retain their current group of
players and perhaps make one or two quality additions
they will have a good chance of doing so.
