Club committee pitch in for training restart
Young rugby players have been enjoying being back on the field of play after Oban Lorne RFC opened their gates to mini rugby training at Glencruitten earlier this month, writes Fiona Scott.
A combined effort from the club’s hard working committee and Scottish Rugby to make sure the correct Covid-19 procedures are in place meant the busy mini section could get back up and running.
Organised by mini’s coach Walter Speirs and the club’s newly instated Covid-19 safety officer, Darrel Williams, the first training session was well attended and a great success.
‘This training session was very much a trial to see if everything was going to work with the restrictions we have put in place.
‘I’m delighted to say it was a great success and the children, coaches and parents all did a great job in following the guidelines in these challenging times.
‘We want to wish all our P7s who moved up to the high school the best of luck and hopefully they will continue to play rugby when they are there.’
The club are asking all parents/players involved in the club to play their part in getting things going again.
To take part in training players are required to complete a free C-19 E-Learning Return to Rugby Course, which can be found on the Scottish Rugby website, and email Oban Lorne RFC’s new Covid-19 officer Darrell Williams at darrellwilliams@btinternet.com, detailing which team they are part of.
