No doubt there will be more games, but these were the only ones I could find. -
Hamilton BHS have been releasing their 1st XV squad over the last 2 weeks. I was told by one of the coaches last year that they would be losing about 10 players, of which about half were in the starting XV. Some of the newbies went to Thailand for the World Schools Festival so have had some previous experience.

I was chatting to a dad I know through Prezzies rugby earlier in the year about his son going for the HBHS 1st XV. Good to see he made it as a loose forward. He was in the seconds last year. He was told to focus on weights to bulk up rather than fitness.

@Bovidae I was afraid it would be a big score.
Have they stopped their scholarship programme again?

Yeah you would expect st kents to put up a bigger score. Must have cut back on scholarships. The Lindisfarne factory just breeds top class talent....

It's a pity Sky TV hasn't decided to televise this game as it should be a good, competitive match.
