Fine start for young Ross Sutherland team.

The Ross team came out on top of a hard fought game with 35-26 victory.

The Ross try scorers were Josh Hollowey (2), Gordon Ross, Cameron Munro, Alan Bragazzi, Jake Geddis and Henry Pearce.

Callum Sangster and Joe Eaglesham were also in the thick of the action.

Aberdeen Wanderers finished the stronger but the Ross team were able to hold on for a great start to the season.

* There was an air of excitement at the Naval grounds in Invergordon last Saturday as Ross Sutherland welcomed even more children to its thriving mini section.

Micro rugby has been on the cards for a while and with new coaches recruited in the form of Paul Whitty and Steve Dawson, the first session was a great success with 10 boys and girls taking part.

There’s plenty room for more though and new players in the p1-3 age group are welcome to come along to the club any Saturday morning for a 10-11am session.

It’s non-contact at this age and a great way of introducing kids to the sport in safe and friendly surroundings.

On Sunday, 30th September, Ross Sutherland will be hosting a mini festival of rugby for teams from all over the north of Scotland. The event will start at 11am.
