W/D youngsters enjoy the challenge

-

Young stars from Waysiders/Drumpellie­r were joined by Falkirk and Loch Lomond RFC to develop the future of youth in rugby.

There was a good turnout from all teams as several age groups were put through their paces.

The primary four and five team played Falkirk in the first game and W/D were caught sleeping in the first half as it was 4-1 - but they switched on in the second to pull it back to 7-7.

In the second game the Langloan outfit played Loch Lomond and it finished 5-2 to Lomond.

W/D under-21 representa­tive Gerry Brankin said:“All the players had fun as well as showing their own personal advancemen­ts down to their commitment in training. The coaches felt great pride in the grit and determinat­ion of the teams but the big thing was at the end the players said it was amazing fun, which is what rugby is all about.”
