Helensburgh Rugby Football Club

The P5s rounded off an excellent season with another festival trophy, this time winning their own festival at Ardecaple. Blessed with sunny weather the festival was a great success with 31 teams from 8 different clubs at different age groups taking part.

 

The P5s opened their account with a straight forward 10-1 victory over Clydebank/Loch Lomond and 9-4 Vs Birkmyre to win their group. The semi finals produced a tougher challenge with Cartha Queens Park fielding a very large pack. Sound defence produced another victory of 9-4. The final was against Uddingston who had beaten an understrength P5 team only 2 weeks ago. With a full squad available there was no mistake this time and Burgh produced their best rugby of the season spinning the ball wide and winning the breakdown battle. The final score was 10-0 to Burgh and rounded off another really successful season for the team. They broke new ground this year by venturing over the Irish sea to play teams from Ulster on the mini sections first ever tour. The record for the season stands at P46, W36, D2, L8.
