 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. |

The Kirkcaldy branch of Soroptimist International, a world-wide Ladies Charity, are supporting Fife Young Carers in their 60th anniversary year. To help raise funds we are organising two Charity matches at Kirkcaldy Rugby Club on Saturday 25th May. At 1:30 Kirkcaldy U-21 will play Howe U-21 and at 3:30 the feature game is between two invitational teams with players coming from a number of Clubs spread throughout Premier and National leagues. This should provide a free-flowing, try-fest of Barbarian style rugby. We are looking for sponsors for raffle prizes and and in a unique venture companies and individuals can have their names on every jersey in the feature match for £30. Anyone interested can contact me on 07946868051. Entry on the day is £2.00 with under-16s free. Gordon Stewart |

Semi-finalists, Fair Play Award and 2 Player of the Match Awards
.jpg) S1 with S2 in civvies The S1/S2 Group took two teams to compete in the Annual Ellon 7s tournament. For the larger S1 squad this would be a first-time 7s experience. The S2s had the benefit of a couple of “experienced” players (i.e. they travelled to Ellon last year) and were accompanied by 3 players making their debut in Club colours. Buoyed on by excellent support from the travelling group of parents, Dave coached the S1s for the day and James the S2s. Here are their reports of the day. |
