Annual Lochaber Rugby Club, 7's tournament
Uist Nomads were invited to Fort William for the
Annual Lochaber Rugby Club, 7's tournament on Saturday
3rd May 03. A great location in the shadow of
a snow-capped Ben Nevis.
Being the first Rugby of our back-to-front season
(ferry timings being the reason) the Uist side were
definitely rusty and flat. (Harlequins in the other
half of the draw, being the only side likely to allow
us a result). Duly despatched by Lochaber, Hillhead-Jordanhill
and Strathspey (John MacLean scoring a try in the last
game) in the pool games, we were treated to
a close fought final between Hillhead-Jordanhill and
Liverpool St Helens with the English side the narrow
winners.
The third half and tournament dance produced an honourable
draw between the Nomads and the Lochaber Ladies Team.
Our thanks are extended to QinetiQ
in the form of the Hebrides Range and File
Away (IT and Wireless Broadband Solutions) for their
continued and very welcome support of the Uist Nomads
Rugby Club.
The Nomads next scheduled trip is to Shetland on
mid-summers day when Lerwick RUFC host their 125th Anniversary
Tournament.
