Rugby training starts for Dumfries Saints

Jul 3 2009 by Our Correspondent, Dumfries Standard Friday

TRAINING starts on Tuesday July 7 for all Dumfries Saints senior players.

This includes all those who played for the 1st and 2nd XVs last season, last season's Colts and any new players to the area or returning players, everyone is welcome.

The first two sessions will be on the track at the Keswick centre in Dumfries, starting at 7pm next Tuesday and short sharp sessions are guaranteed. The second week sees sessions return to Park Farm and the grass from Tuesday 14th onwards.

Many players have continued to train throughout the summer and those that haven’t will be on a fast catch up! The target is having a first and second XV fit and ready for the grand opening of the new Clubhouse on August 15 when the Firsts will play Scottish Champions Ayr and the Seconds will face a Homecoming XV. The Under 18s will also be facing Ayr on that day as part of a three-match club celebration.
