Biggar Midis

Biggar RFC Midi section caters for those of high school age. We currently have teams in S1, S2, Under 15 and Under 16 age categories, as well as an Under 16 girls team. The gradual incorporation of full rugby union rules over the different age grades makes Midi rugby the perfect stepping stone for progression onto under 18s rugby and then to the senior game. All midi rugby teams train on a Wednesday night at the club at 6.45pm. If you would like to know more please contact Aird Jardine on 07917731494

S1 and S2 Presentation Evening

Presentation evening.

This was the last of this years Presentation evenings and in similar fashion to those previously hosted by the Colts and then by the U-15/16’s age groups this was another excellent evening with good food, good company and a host of positives about youth rugby at Biggar RFC.
Not least of these came at the ‘break’ between the meal and the presentations when virtually every boy present made a sharp exit from the clubhouse to the pitches to play rugby!! And all were ‘suited and booted’ as well!
On their eventual return the Presentations at S1 level were made by coach Alistair Stewart (from Lanark as opposed to the Alistair Stewart from Biggar!). Alistair read out a very appropriate poem which he had written especially for the occasion - and which can be read in its entirety on the website. It charted the S1 boys season and was a great hit with all present.
S1 awards went to
Commitment and Determination on the Field of Play ; Lewis Stewart
Most Improved Player : Sam Wallis
Coaches Player of the Season and Alasdair Tucker Memorial Award : Daniel McConkey.
Players’ Player of the Season : Stuart Forrest
Finlay Barr proposed a Vote of Thanks on behalf of the players and thanked the coaching staff for their efforts.

David Raftery hosted the S2 awards in more traditional fashion by way of a speech but it was no less appropriate or entertaining.
S2 awards went to
Taylors of Biggar Award for Excellence and Endeavour : Jordan Gray
Players’ Player of the Season ; Rowan Stewart
Coaches Player of the Season : Alex Denholm
S2 Captain Rowan Stewart thanked a number of individuals for their assistance throughout the season – including Hugh Barr for the pitches, Aird Jardine for administration and the parents for transport and catering. He then presented the coaches with a bottle to lift their spirits(!).

Rowan also paid tribute to Graham Kerr who is to step down after coaching the sqaud from P3 onwards.
Graham also received a gift – a collage of rugby photos – from the players. He spoke of his delight in being a club member and a coach, and in particular watching the boys progress not just as rugby players but as young men and wished all well. He will still stay in touch as son Angus will remain playing with the group.
Club President Peter McDonald, who presented the awards to the boys, rounded of the evening with thanks for those who had made the event possible including Gordon Young (bar) and Carolyn Cairns (catering).

All Mini and Midi players are reminded that Street rugby resumes this Wednesday (5th June) for Mini age group and on 26th June for Midi ages.
Calum Taylor is in charge and no experience is necessary – come along and join the fun. Full details on the club website.
