Rugby Club Raises Money for Scottish Charities

Linlithgow Rugby Club, with help from others, has raised money for two local charities over the last few months. The auctioning of a signed Scotland strip donated by Derek Mair (above) helped raise £270 for Bosom Buds (Mags Fenwick pictured above receiving the cheque) with the balance going to supporting youth rugby. Similarly, the Rugby Club Golf Day at Kingsfield raised money for youth rugby and a further £500 for the Bill McLaren Foundation (Mark Wells presents the cheque to Alan Lawson below, with Stuart Johnston of Kingsfield looking on).

Bar Refurbishment
– Safety Work Delays Opening

The Club bar will be fully closed for a further week after defects were found in the framework of the old bar during planned refurbishment. For safety reasons these will have to be sorted before work can be completed.

Apologies to all members for this unforeseen inconvenience. The bar will be open again now on a restricted basis for members on Saturday and Sunday afternoons from Saturday 22nd July with the full opening of the newly refurbished bar at the end of July.

The Club is greatly indebted to a number of people, in particular Gordon Cairns of GHI Contracts, who are assisting with this work and hence keeping the costs down. More information and recognition of those helping out to follow…

Reds Fixtures Out at Last!

The fixture list for BT East 1 league has finally been issued. The Reds kick off the new season with a HOME match on Saturday 26 August against North Berwick.

The delay in issuing the fixtures was caused by a split in the RHC Rugby Club, with the former Royal High Club “grouping”, including most of the RHC 1st team players, the Ladies team and the Royal High youth rugby, splitting out and establishing themselves as Barnton RFC.

Scottish Rugby’s Championship Committee in conjunction with the legal and governance group had to determine which team was entitled to play in which league. The eventual outcome is that Barnton will restart in BT East 2, with the Union Park (Corstorphine) based RHC Club being allowed to keep their BT National 3 status. However, the RHC Club has sought and been granted voluntary relegation to BT East 1 – the league in which the Reds play.

Both North Berwick (2nd last season) and Hawick Harlequins (3rd) were offered promotion to BT National 3 to fill the vacant slot. However they both declined which leaves BT East 1 at 11 teams for this season – hence two blank weekends to accommodate the odd number of teams.

Perthshire, who finished 3rd bottom in BT National 3 last season, have accepted the offer to stay up, maintaining BT National 3 at 12 teams.
