coaches in bibs Hot on the heels of our last game as a squad the S1/2 players, parents and coaches gathered together for their Awards Day. This had originally been intended as a quick game of players v. coaches/parents and then awards. However, the advance sign-up to take part was so large that a mini tournament was put together which saw 4 teams participate in a round robin tournament of 6 games before a final between the top two teams.

S1/S2 leaving the pitch For our last adventure as an S1/2 Squad it was time to play in a new location and with some new weather conditions – fog! This was one of the re-scheduled fixtures from the wet weather at the start of the year. Playing conditions were almost perfect with the pitch soft (and forgiving when tackled) and the temperature cool. The squad was missing a few players so we started the first half at 13 aside and switched to 15 aside at half time. The squad for this fixture: (S1s) Benjamin, Craig, Joshua, Logan, Matthew, Rhys, Samuel, Scott; (S2s) Ewan (Capt), Evan, Fraser, Grant, Isaac, Kevin, Mark.

P6 and P7 at Glenrothes With only a match against a touring side, Sedgley Park from Lancashire, to come the Glenrothes tournament last Sunday represented the last chance for Kirkcaldy’s Wee Blues to perform in tournament conditions this season. The venue was intimidating and the weather was unkind. Thick fog and the constant threat of rain didn’t provide conditions conducive to running rugby and the narrow pitches didn’t really suit our expansive style of play. Still, it was the same for all teams ! Our opponents on the day hailed from Kinross, Waid and two teams from our hosts, Glenrothes. Because numbers were low at some clubs the P6s and the P7s combined forces to field two teams. So there were 5 matches for each team.

Murrayfield Wanders v. S1/2 Blues – 12 May 2013 S1S2 at the home of Scottish Rugby As ever with a rugby trip the weather forecasters could not be relied upon – with sun promised but rain delivered the S1/2 boys prepared for kick off with a call of support and a thumbs up from Scott Johnson from the Murrayfield car park. It would be a good start to a fantastic day. The squad for this fixture: (S1s) Benjamin, Craig, Daniel, Harry, Jack, Joshua, Logan, Matthew, Rhys, Samuel, Scott; (S2s) Ewan (Capt), Evan, Fraser, Grant, Isaac, Kevin, Mark. As ever, a good sized squad allowed 15 aside to be played today on the Murrayfield 4G pitch. With the boys traditionally slow out of the blocks, the supporters were rubbing their eyes to ensure that had just seen an early try - Ewan offering up a direct, foraging run with Isaac providing text-book support on his shoulder. A perfectly timed pass saw Isaac run in for his first try. Logan, who has struggled to find any consistent form all year, kicked the conversion to start what is easily his best performance all year. 7-0 to the Blues.

Triumphant Wee Blues P6 AT GALA AND LIVINGSTON “It was the best of times it was the worst of times.” So said Charles Dickens in the opening lines of A Tale of Two Cities. And whilst it may not have been quite as extreme for the Wee Blues P6s over the last couple of weekends, there was certainly a rollercoaster of emotions experienced by the players, the coaches and the parents at tournaments at Gala and Livingston on successive Sundays.
