The club also had a very successful trip to Murrayfield which included some of the younger members and were delighted to witness Scotland record win over the Wallabies. Rugby Club Magazine recently caught up with Club Representative Michael Alfer to find out more about the good work they’ve been doing. Michael McHugh is a club sponsor of Allan Glens Rugby Club with his business The Station Bar. Rugby Club Magazine managed to catch up with Michael as he drove back from Donegal, with his family, after a recent holiday, “I live next door to the club and encouraged both my lads, Christopher and Cameron, to join the mini section and although they never really took to it, Cameron returned to play two and a half years ago and now plays as a 2nd row forward within the clubs junior academy. It is a bit of a family humour that Cameron has the responsibility of being the families first ever sportsman! positive influence on everyone at the club and you can clearly see that the teams and players are performing with that extra confidence and are as excited as I remember seeing them. My wife Frances and I have met many great friends through the club and enjoyed trips to see the Glasgow Warriors with club members. The success of our senior teams has had a huge and I would like to congratulate everyone at Allan Glens Rugby Club on such a great season and would like to wish them all the very best of continued success.” As a community club I don’t think you will find a friendlier bunch of people and my business, The Station Bar are delighted to have sponsored the club for the past four years or so. If the teams continue to toughen themselves up through their focused training sessions and then apply what they have practiced on match day, they can only go from strength to strength.
