Saturday 29th June 2002 saw the first Uist Nomads Tag tournament take place at Liniclate. The event attracted a good turnout with two girls junior teams and three senior teams. Past Scotland coach and international player Nairn McKewen was on hand to encourage and run the junior sides and also refereed the final of the senior sides. The Red Bulls girls team won the File-Away Limited Trophy and runners up were the Blue Tops.

The senior competition winners were the Carinish team with runners up from Aird/Balivanich/Barra, third place were Torlum/Grimsay. Congratulations to all teams and a big thank you to you all for supporting this event. Also a big thank you to our sponsors File-away Limited for their trophy and the Dark Island Hotel for the buffet which was excellent. Nairn McKewen will be on Barra on the 1st July to continue junior rugby development in the Western Isles.

The Benbecula Half Marathon took place today Saturday 1st June 2002. Terry Fountain ran to raise money for the Rugby Club and came in with a time of around 1 hr 50 mins. A strong wind throughout the course hindered all the runners. We will post the total raised once all monies are collected. Thanks Terry for your hard work.

The annual dinner and dance was held on the 10th May 2002 at Carinish Inn and later at the Carinish Hall.

The AGM took place on Monday, 15th April 2002, 7p.m at the Orasay Inn. A poor turnout but a new committee has been elected as follows:

We have now received our new kit - kindly bought for us by MacLennans Supermarket.

This year (2002) we are planning to host a Tens tournament as part of a wider plan for tens games at various clubs in the region. In addition we aim to enter the Invergordon Sevens and hopefully the QinetiQ/DSTL Sevens during the summer.

Training has now developed from once to twice a week and is open to all who wish to experience rugby at grass roots level. If you want to know more about the Nomads or want to join in a training session, please see the Contact page.

Training takes place in the Qinetiq Gym,  on Sundays from 2pm to 4pm, and on Tuesdays from 5.30 pm to 6.30pm.

We look forward to seeing you there!
