Match summary: On a very wet and windy Saturday domestic rugby was almost wiped out by Storm Dennis but it was matched and defeated at Fullarton as GHK and Marr Rugby’s 2nd XV’s showed the brave few on the touchline that you actually can play good passing and running rugby; showing superb skill levels in inclement conditions – i.e. gale force winds and driving torrential rain!

Credit goes to the players from both sides who gave their all in extremely challenging conditions.

The match was originally scheduled to be played at Old Anniesland but with issues there on access to a playable pitch there was agreement that the fixture be played at Fullarton.

An early inspection deemed the pitch playable and both sides rocked up mindful that the real teeth of Storm Dennis had still to appear.

As kick-off approach the slight inconvenience of a no show of the match official was the major challenge. A pre-match huddle of coaches, captains and club officials followed and concluded that we had about 40 players wanting to play a competitive match so there was agreement that Marr Rugby’s available qualified referee Ewan Hamilton-Bulger would step in and act as referee – so it was game on!
