1st XV NEW SEASON COACHING TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT

Perthshire are delighted to announce their coaching team for the new season.

Far from spending the enforced break taking time off, Head Coach Alan Clark and his management team have strengthened their team with the addition of one of Caledonia’s most respected coaches.

Craig Ormiston brings a wealth of experience and a winning mindset to the club, having had senior club rugby success with Blairgowrie RFC over a 2-season stint, leading them to 32 wins with only 2 losses. He is also a Perthshire man at heart, having both represented the club 1st XV for several years as a player and coached at U18 level.

Craig Ormiston commented, “I am excited about returning to coach at Perthshire. Alan, Mark and I have spoken at length about the season ahead and I am just keen to get stuck in and get on with the work.”
Alan Clark said, “We already have the most experienced and highly qualified senior coaching team in Tayside, but we are constantly looking to improve and give ourselves that crucial point of difference. Craig’s approach and coaching mindset will certainly give us that in the coming season. Our current group of Mark Coupar, Dave Lewis and Greig Mason are excited to see what he will bring.

For Perthshire it’s about making sure we offer our players the very best experience we can. The coaching setup is just one of those elements. We also give players access to leisure facilities across Perth & Kinross, including a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning facility at Bells Sports Centre with dedicated coaching support. Add this to the social side and it’s not difficult to see why the club is so highly rated within Scottish Rugby.”

All players, of any ability and experience, are welcome to come and join Perthshire. New and returning players keen to play 1st or 2nd XV rugby are encouraged to contact Alan Clark (headcoach@perthshire-rfc.co.uk or fill out the contact form) and get involved with the exciting season ahead.
