West A Conference Presentation

Marr College Head Teacher, Mr Docherty hosted a whole School Rugby Assembly in late February to highlight the phenomenal Conference Season had by our School sides. He welcomed Scottish Rugby Regional Manager, Stewart Milne to the College for a special presentation of the Conference trophy.

This was a great opportunity to get every player involved in Rugby at Marr College together to celebrate the collective success of our programme. A lot of hard work has been put in by players, coaches and staff to make this win possible and it was great to have the opportunity to highlight this to everyone involved.

Stewart Milne, Scottish Rugby Regional Manager - Glasgow South

"Congratulations to all at Marr College from all the Glasgow South Regional Team for their achievements in the West Schools Conference this season. Their success, in not just achieving this conference win, but in offering regular rugby to over 200 male & female pupils, is testament to the fantastic partnership between Marr College and Marr RFC.

The offering of rugby within the college environment, that allows pupils to achieve representative success as well as simply enjoying their time with friends in rugby, is a wonderful example of an inclusive environment that truly caters for all. Credit goes to everyone involved, staff, volunteers, pupils & parents, with a special mention to Colin, Gregor & Harry working as the development staff with the college environment."

Mr Docherty, Marr College Head Teacher

"I would like to congratulate all our School of Rugby participants on an outstanding season and on winning the West A Conference. I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished this year and of the successful partnership we have with Marr Rugby in forging a programme that is committed to promoting excellence and inclusivity.

Our success goes beyond wins and losses; it's about good character development and the strong sense of pride and belonging shared amongst the young people involved.

We benefit greatly from the strong support of coaches, parents and volunteers and I would like to personally thank them for everything they do to contribute to the success of our Rugby programme and the remarkable impact it has across the school and the wider community."

Colin Sturgeon, Marr College Head of Rugby

"It's been an incredible season for the boys on the field. To be crowned Whole School Conference Champions is an incredible achievement for our School and shows the fantastic strides we have taken over the last 5 years.

The effort and commitment being shown by players, coaches and staff is simply outstanding and this success is just reward for all that hard work.

To now be fielding A & B sides at all but one age group and competing in 2 separate Conferences speaks volumes to both the level of growth in player numbers and winning the West A Conference shows the development we have made in terms of performance."
