Strathmore
Proposed Projects
Rugby Academy
The Trust has identified a decrease in playing
numbers across the three towns, and wider
area, at secondary age and above. It has
considered, after consultation with the
partners, that a Rugby Academy
based at Strathmore Rugby Club
would provide a safe and fun
learning environment to assist
in the development of coaches
and players.
The Academy initially
would operate on a Friday
afternoon and provide rugby
skills and tactical sessions
along
with
health
and
conditioning sessions. These
would be open to all secondary
age pupils. Both rugby union and
rugby league would be represented.
Women’s and Girls Rugby
A successful women’s team has operated in the
area previously but proved unsustainable due to a lack
of supported coaches and volunteers. The facilities at
Strathmore Rugby Club and the partnership with Strathmore
and Brechin Rugby Clubs along with the proposed Rugby
Academy, which will cater for both males and females,
provide a fresh opportunity to develop women’s/girls rugby.
The Trust will recruit a coach for a senior team and
support the individual(s) by coordinating the existing
infrastructure and the specialist coaches available through
the Rugby Academy.
Touch League
Touch rugby is a non-contact version of rugby
league that can be played by anyone. It
provides a safe and fun environment
for people to keep fit and promotes
teamwork and discipline. The
Trust will work with its partners
and their existing players to
run a social league over the
summer months encouraging
new players to take up the
sport and mix experienced
and inexperienced players to
create a club environment.
Walking Rugby
This version of the sport, which
is generally new in the UK is primarily
aimed at offering retired people, of
both genders, a gentle, fun activity. The
game will also be offered to people of any
age, creating a warm and welcoming environment.
The activity would be combined with a social lunch allowing
the participants and supporters an opportunity to relax and
socialise.

John Boni and Stuart Ferrier are in their second year
as 1st XV sponsors of Strathmore Rugby Club with their
business S & J Joiners Ltd which has provided quality
joinery and building services locally for over thirteen years.
John told Rugby Club Magazine, “As a local company
we started attending hospitality and corporate events at
the club which was also a great way to entertain some
of our clients. It’s great to see the first team performing
so well this year and if they keep competing and gaining
the same results in the 2nd half of the season as they
have in the first they have a great chance of becoming
champions.
The club is very much a centre of the community
and their plans for young and old alike are testament
to the people running things at the club and its friendly
atmosphere. Myself and Stuart would like to wish
everyone associated with Strathmore Rugby Club the
very best of continued success for the remainder of the
2017/2018 season!”
