18/04/09

With KGV looking somewhat like a First World War battlefield, it did not look like we were in for a free flowing game of rugby; however, all things considered both teams tried to play good rugby. Garioch kicked of the first half with the elements in their favour and they looked to take advantage early n the first half.  It did not take too long for them to get their noses in front. click here for full report

Firstly I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, especially all the players who have played a key part in what is a development season. With a squad of young players who are in some cases playing their first season of 1^st team rugby results are promising. A lot of hard work has gone in but a lot more is required as we play the reverse fixtures and hopefully continue the run in the plate competition. click here for full article

Yet again a game that could have gone either way and with the narrow loss last week this defeat was another hard lesson in ensuring tackles are made and support in defence is consistent for the 80 minutes. With late call offs and the availability of the front row Kinross saw the early but welcome return of Stewart Mullan but with Keith Tolson moving into the front row and the old man (coach) on the bench!

Kinross slow start ultimately cost them the game with Crieff gifted early tries. Straight from the kick-off Crieff attacked and a catalogue of missed tackles and gaps allowed Crieff to cross the line and round to under the posts to take, a lead within 2 minutes, converting the try to take a 7-0 lead. click here for full match report

On a day with blue skies and a slight breeze Kinross headed to the seaside, well St. Andrews to play a Madras FP side who were at the top of the chasing pack in the league sitting in deserved 4^th place. Last week’s flooding had prevented the Kinross Glenrothes match from going ahead, a number of last minute call offs also provided a few headaches in team selection. Arriving at Madras though Kinross with up for the contest and were keen to keep the season recovery on track after the slow start. click here for full match report

Saturday saw Kinross host St. Andrews University under no illusion that it would be a tough encounter. After last week’s performance a marked improvement was asked for and delivered.

Saturday the 1^st XV headed up to Blairgowrie confident that with last week’s performance, albeit a loss against Orkney similar possession could be translated into points.  Friday had seen a few late call offs but confidence was still high that the team could return with a win.  As the whistle went to start the game Kinross were playing up the slope and with the wind and then rain in their faces. Gavin Hardie got the scoreboard going with a clean strike between the posts and a well deserved 3 points from a penalty. Click here for full match report

A 07:15 start at the KGV saw a Kinross team make its way to Orkney with a confident spirit but with players carrying a few injuries. The squad included club sponsor Colin Wight as the travelling supporter and Ollie Cox as the 1^st XV medic, but when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised to see ex President Dougie Cruickshank had made the long journey to the islands to cheer on the team. click here for full match report

A day to be proud of – a hard fought encounter with Aberdeen University saw Kinross leave with a victory. The pre match change of venue, the lack of changing facilities and post match farce over getting showers did not detract from a great day for the club.  Click here for full match report

Saturday’s match was at time 15 versus 16 and at some times it was demoralising as many decisions went in the favour of the opposition especially when Kinross were reduced to 14 men for 10 minutes as Barney was dubiously sin binned. Click here for full match report & photos
