Glasgow Warriors again are hosting the SP Energy Schools Rugby Championships at Scotstoun which is now in their 7th year since being founded. This year more schools are involved, with 29 schools from across Scotland taking part. Balfron Strathendrick have been involved for a number of years reaching semi finals and finals in the past but yet to win the whole competition.

Over 1000 young people from 29 schools across are preparing to emulate Scotland’s recent successes on the rugby pitch and play for the right to be crowned SP Energy Networks Warriors Champions 2023.

The 2023 Championship got underway on Tuesday 21 February and will run over eight weeks, with the final taking place at Scotstoun Stadium in May.

S1, S2 Boys and U14 girls teams are invited to represent their schools.This week, Balfron, Biggar, Wellington and Moffat schools were all taking part in the first round of the competition.

Glasgow Warriors players Murphy Walker and Ross Thomson visited the players taking part at the break between games. Participants were able to chat all things rugby with Walker and Thomson and even did a high ball catching challenge before the final rounds of games in the afternoon.

At the end of the games it was Balfron Strathendrick that qualified for the next round of the SP Energy Network Championships.

The Club thanks Glasgow Warriors and SP Energy for organising such a fun day and look forward to the quarter final round.
