I've seen the future and its got a roof!
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

East Kilbride mini/midi reports Sunday 22nd February
P4
Cumnock visited East Kilbride today for 2 thrilling and hard fought games. The team played very well in both games improving as the day went on but were unfortunate to lose both games. The try scorers today were Alex Houston and Calum Bell, support play coming from Kory Galloway, Austin McBirnie, Lucy Watt and Adam Watt.
P5
The P5 boys put in 2 great performances today narrowly losing their first game 4-3. After a short break the boys came out firing on all cylinders blowing their opposition away with a 5-3 victory in the second game. Tries coming from Sean Houston, Scott Teece, Calm Park and Calum Bell ably assisted by Jack McSeveney, John Watt and Tyler Wallace
Cumnock P7 Report
East Kilbride 13 Cumnock 5
Cumnock travelled to an indoor astru-turf pitch at Hamilton Palace to play East Kilbride. The facility was excellent, with conditions obviously excellent for playing rugby. However, the pitch as set-out was very narrow, not much different to the training pitch at Cumnock Academy . This meant that there was not enough width for Cumnock to play to their strengths, getting quick ball out wide and running into the corners. The pitch suited the East Kilbride style of play with the ball kept tight with their large pack and only moving wide once Cumnock players had been sucked into any rucks or mauls.
The Cumnock tries from G Aitken, Z North (2) and J Reilly (2) came from some good passages of play with the ball moving about quickly through various sets of hands.
The coaches were disappointed with the way some players didn't get involved at the breakdowns despite spending weeks practising rucking and mauling. Too many players were content to stand back and see what happened rather than competing for the ball. On the positive side, the half backs and centres were linking up well with good positive runing and tackling from Kerr, Reilly, Aitken and North. This was the first defeat since before Christmas and hopefully it will be a wake-up call for some of the players
