Cumnock Cougars travelled to play a series of matches against East Kilbride on 22nd Feb however this was not at EK's normal home ground but in the covered astro pitch at the Hamilton Palace sports complex. Whilst there are certain limitations to this type of facility these pale against the positives the most significant being that the vagaries of the Scottish weather are removed from the mix.
If we are to continue with micro and mini rugby during the winter months a facility such as Hamilton Palace make perfect sense however the age old problem of securing the necessary finance for projects seems as likely as Frank Hadden naming me in the next squad for the next round in the Six Nations.
On a nother point, Euan Kerr and I had a conversation with senior coach at EK who advised of a SRU backed initiaitive to pilot summer rugby. The proposal was fairly detailed and inv olved a significant number of clubs with factors taken into consideration such a s holiday periods and the like. Whilst there are some problems to deal with in the summer not least of which is rock hard pitches surely this would be a positve move for our young players - We await the results with interest
