10th Edition - Stewart`s Melville RFC

Stewart’s Melville Rugby News
15th January 2015
Due to the wintry conditions last weekend no rugby was played at all
between the School, Lions and F.Ps. Cold conditions are forecast for
the next few days, so fingers crossed that the fixtures this weekend
can go ahead.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind all S1-S4 boys that the
Academy of Lions Programme begins this Sunday, 18 January from
1pm – 2pm at Inverleith. This session will take place indoors and
introduce the concept of the Academy. Players will also receive a
tutorial on performance lifestyle and nutrition. We hope to see a
good number of boys involved in this new initiative.
