Garstang
keeps going from strength to strength,
so much so that we have our first Colts
team which is a credit to Bert Cross and
the rest of the coaching team.
Our Club veterans team ‘The
Viagrians’ only play the occasional match
but the numbers of eligible members just
keep growing and it now boasts over 40
members. Bob Johnston (past president)
and Club legend instigated the veterans
team and must take credit for the most
outlandish attire the viagrians must
wear when on tour. A Cravat, Panama
hat and pipe are mandatory at all times
(except when playing a game).”
Last Season
“The season for the club has gone
well, the men’s senior first team stayed
up and finished mid table. The seconds
also had a steady season finishing mid
table. The ladies team had a wonderful
season and finished 3rd in only their
2nd full season in the league. Garstang
boasts a thriving junior section where we
have full year groups from 6 to 16/colts.
The juniors play against most local sides
including many tournaments and keep
progressing through a domination of
great coaches, enthusiasm and playing
for each other. In summary, from an
overall perspective, the season has been
the best ever.”
2017
“My plans for the club for the rest of
2017 are simple - keep the momentum
going. The Club keeps expanding and
consequently the number of players/
members keep growing, which is a great
indication that the Club is moving in the
right direction. The Club has gained the
majority of these through the addition
of the ladies team and the large junior
section.
The 1st team have worked hard to play
Level 8 Rugby and are looking forward
to next season under the guidance of
Stuart McKirdy
Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon
BSc (Hons) StA., MB.ChB, MPhil, FRCSplast
Gavin Barton, Simon Whittingham and
Ainsley Pye. The men’s second team play
in the Raging Bull league and always put
in commendable performance and were
unlucky to lose to Fylde last season in
the cup final.”
Youth
“Youth rugby is key to the success
of any club but to a relatively new club
like Garstang it is vital. The contribution
of people like Ian Davies who started
the junior section which was then taken
to the next level through the efforts of
