Greenock Wanderers FOLLOW US ONLINE TWITTER.COM/RUGBYCLUBMAG Gordon McTavish came through Greenock Academy and couldn’t wait to start senior rugby with the GWRFC. He told us, “I played and captained the club on many occasions until I was 45. Recovery time started getting longer so I stopped playing then but continued playing vets rugby. My main playing position was Full Back. These days I referee and it suits me to be in control! (he says laughingly) One of my career highlights was winning a tournament in Beavais, France and my dad, Duncan McTavish also played for the club as a centre. It’s great to have John Black, former player and now president at the helm and it is also great to see the club doing so well with young players coming through and some old heads returning. The seniors are in a fabulous position to move upwards in the leagues and I am sure Greenock Wanderers will rise to the challenge.” “I am very passionate about supporting local sport and feel that it is important to support your local club whether they are winning or losing. Although I am more of a Football fan I really respect what is being achieved at the rugby club and particularly the opportunities for the girls and ladies to enjoy sport. All teams will go through their good and bad periods but it is important to continue playing or supporting regardless. My business, ‘Straps’ which is a lingerie company very much promotes body confidence and accepting yourself as the way you are meant to be and I love the fact that rugby and the Wanderers very much mirror that philosophy. As a supporter of local sport and with some of my clients being players at Greenock Wanderers I decided to continue the sponsorship with the club once the term had ended with the football. Best wishes to all for the future.” Suzanne Mark Time to change your Smalls? Visit Straps today to see what we can do for your shape.
