PRE MATCH REPORT
HAMILTON BULLS versus MARR RUGBY TENNENT’S NATIONAL DIVISION 1 KO 3PM
DUMFRIES SAINTS 2ND XV versus MARR 3RD XV TENNNENT’S WEST RESERVE LEAGUE 1 KO 3PM
MARR TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED!

Marr travel to Hamilton this Saturday as they hope to continue to take care of business, in the third last game of the season.

With Marr sitting on top of Tennent’s National Division 1 they will be looking for another away win to continue their quest to become champions.

Hamilton sit near the bottom of the league and are embroiled in a tight and exciting relegation battle between Cartha Queens Park, Dundee and Kirkcaldy. With only a few points separating all four teams. They will therefore be desperate to get some kind of result against us.
I have pointed out before that this league has been more exciting this year as the teams at the bottom of the league have the ability on their day to get a result from any team in the division.
Therefore Marr can take nothing for granted and will be looking for a performance to secure these vital league points.

Marr make two changes from last weeks cancelled match against Gala . [This game has been rescheduled to be played on the 20th April].
In comes Oli Rossi at hooker with Stephen Adair taking his place on the bench. Back in the starting XV is Marr’s full back Liam Mcloughlin with Gregor Ness out as he is carrying a knock from training.
Marr’s bench looks in good shape and will be looking to come on and make an impact.

The last time we played the Bulls back in November Marr eased to victory 40 points to 21. However Bulls lost narrowly to Kelso earlier on in March, that shows they command respect. They narrowly lost 13 points to 17.
Supporters of the purple and gold are expected to be there in significant numbers to cheer on the lads.

Our 3rd XV are away to Dumfries Saints and will be looking to secure vital points to ensure they play in the same league again next year.
