  • Leith Rugby Awards 2014 Leith Rugby Club Saturday 26Th April Order of Ceremonies
    Leith Rugby Awards 2014 Leith Rugby Club Saturday 26th April Order of Ceremonies Welcome by Club Captain - Doug Watters Introduction of Compere - Paul Allison Presentation of Annual Awards Coach’s Review Accie of the Year Award Buffet DJ and Disco Coach’s Review Good Evening. Welcome to the 2013/14 Leith Awards Evening. Hopefully tonight will bring as much, if not more, fun and excitement as previous years. On first glance of RBS East League 2, it does not appear that we have had a great season - finishing eighth. However, there are many positives to this year that are worth pointing out. Firstly, we were taking a step up after winning East 3 last season. It was to be expected that we would find the standard higher than previous years and we survived relatively easily in East 2. In fact if Eric Jones we had won one more game with a bonus point we would would have finished fifth. All the players know due to the games we threw away (Lismore, Northern and Inverleith) that this, and more, is easily achievable next season. Whilst results usually provide the ‘definitive guide’ to a clubs season for onlookers, we must also consider a number of other factors including players and teams performances. Our last game of the 15s season saw us put in probably our best overall performance resulting in a first victory at Arboretum in my 3 years of coaching. The score line of 35-22 flattered the hosts and shows we are heading in the right direction. While on 25 January the Club fielded two sides for the first time in a decade.
