2020
“Our targets in 2020 include promotion to Caledonia
Division 1 and to continue to attract new players and
supporters throughout the club. Off the pitch we plan
to install a new grandstand and continue to upgrade out
advertisement fence at our home ground.”
Youth
“Youth rugby is key to the success and future of the
club. Young players will provide a future for the rugby
club within Carnoustie; therefore it is imperative that
we continue to invest the time in coaching children at
all of our local Schools, both primary and secondary.
Carnoustie HSFP RFC has invested in a youth
development officer, paid for by the club to attend all
the local schools to develop rugby and encourage kids
to get involved.”
Integration
“The Scottish Rugby Union has set procedures
which we follow to enable any under 18 players who
wish to play adult rugby. We adhere to this process and
have various coaches available to support individuals,
whether it be fitness, strength and conditioning. All
Ross Smyth has had a long and positive
association with Carnoustie Rugby Club.
He recently told Rugby Club Magazine,
“My younger brother Gordon, who now
lives in Australia was a very good rugby
player, who played alongside the likes of
Peter Christie at the club. As a company
Smyth Composites like to support our local
sports clubs and it’s great to hear how well
the rugby lads are competing this year.
I know many of the members and I am
fully aware of the great service they provide
to young and old alike and the time they
give to keep Carnoustie RFC flourishing
as it is. Myself and all the staff at Smyth
Composites would like to congratulate
everyone at the club on a great season and
best wishes to all for the remainder of the
2019/2020 campaign!”
of which enables a smooth transition to help players
progress to adult rugby.”
Community
“I would consider Carnoustie HSFP RFC a community
club as we have our clubhouse in one of the local hotels.
We run lots of social events which are well attend by the
community, in particular we hold a “New Years Dook”
on the 1st of January every year, this is open to the public
and this year we raised £1000 which was donated to a
local charity (5 Day Chemotherapy Unit at Ninewells
Hospital). There were over 100 people who took part
in the dook as well as approximately 1000 people who
came along to watch the event.”
Challenges/Ambitions
“The biggest challenge for any club is to keep you
people motivated and encouraged them to play rugby
when other sports are readily available in the area. It is
our ambition to build on the hard work and success of
everything we have achieved in the previous years and
to have our own clubhouse, pitches and independent
facilities which everyone will be proud to be a part of.”
