Adam’s teammates provide fitting victory in his memory

Perthshire 30 – 17 Murrayfield Wanderers Perthshire’s first home match following the tragic death of Adam Pattinson was always going to be a hugely emotional event but nobody was really prepared for the enormity of the occasion. The sight of Perthshire’s 1st and 2nd XV lined up with Murrayfield Wanderers, Bannockburn and the match officials […]

Depleted Perthshire on Wrong End of Eightsome Reel

Hillhead Jordanhill 50 – 8 Perthshire With 19 players declaring themselves unavailable because of injury or other reasons, it was a severely depleted Shire group who travelled through to Hillhead on Saturday conceding eight tries in a one sided match.  2XV team manager Dave Lewis was one of the men who volunteered to fill the […]

Bonus point victory boost for the boys

Perthshire 36 – 14 Carrick This bottom of the league clash was played in terrible conditions but an early morning pitch inspection by Fin Hay allowed the game to go ahead although the conditions underfoot were very slippery which ruled out the possibility of a fast paced running game of rugby. Carrick, who are enduring […]

1st XV frozen out of the game at Lasswade

Ryan Miller set up the move and Adam Dearden […]

Lasswade Overpower Perthshire

However, during the 1st 20 minutes there was only one […]

Perthshire blown away at Ardrossan

Ardrossan Accies 44 – Perthshire 10 Ardrossan has never been the happiest of hunting grounds for Perthshire during the last few years and this visit certainly did nothing to alter that. They are a club on the up with a thriving and packed clubhouse before and after the game and possess a good mix of […]
