SCOTLAND A and
FRANK HADDEN VISIT LONDON SCOTTISH on THURSDAY
24th MAY Next Season's fixtures The new fixture list is out and can be seen in full here. Scottish open their campaign in National 3 South with a home match against Luton, who won Midland 1 last season - the equivalent achievement of Scottish winning London 1. However the first big draw will be the next weekend when Scottish travel to Rosslyn Park, whom we first played - and beat - in 1888, or possibly earlier...! Other highlights for your diaries will be the return match at home to Park on December 22 - which will almost make up for not playing a Christmas game against Richmond - and the fixtures with Ealing on 10 November (a) and the return on 8 March when the club will also be televising the Calcutta Cup from Murrayfield. Another day to set aside is 27 October. The week after the World Cup Final, Scottish travel all the way to Penzance to play Mounts Bay, winners of South West 1 last season, and we suspect a long weekend with optional golf might be on the agenda for the travelling supporters! There is also a new points system to get used to: 4 for a win, 2 for a draw, and bonus points for either scoring four tries or losing by fewer than 7 points. The number of permitted substitutes is increased from three to four.
P Official start is June 18 but fitness coach Dean Sutton is giving players a training plan for the intervening weeks. As we embark on National League rugby once again we are looking for players in a handful of key positions. So if you want to trial for the club please click here to email the coaching team

London
Scottish 21 Richmond 10 report from Andrew Cotter in the Scotsman click here This time it was Ealing's turn to slaughter Guildford and replace Worthing in second spot. A win for Scottish at Staines mean we go up and Ealing will be favourites to come second and go into a play-off against the runners-up from South West 1. If Scottish lose Ealing could still pip them to the title if they win big and conceivably Worthing could do the same and relegate Scottish to third... so let's think positively!

Calcutta Cup Day at London Scottish - fantastic day with 270 for lunch in the big marquee and after most had trooped off to HQ for the game there, a good crowd gathered in front of the big screen to watch the boy Jonny destroy Scotland's dream ... Gavin Hastings may remember saying on Tuesday at a private meeting of club members and friends to launch the Clydesdale Bank sponsorship initiative that England made a huge error selecting England's record points scorer: he went on to say "It is in Scotland's interest to keep him on the pitch as long as possible". Thanks for the wise words Gavin !! |

Saturday 3rd February 2007 London Scottish 104 Guildford 7 London Div One report table Despite six injuries forcing changes in position and tactics on the hoof throughout the game, Scottish achieved a very special double - a ton of points against the same opponents TWICE in the same season ... What might they have achieved if two players hadn't gone off in the 2nd minute, and only 14 been left on for the last quarter? Elsewhere Worthing edged Barnes by 8 and Ealing had a gentle win at Staines but the Scots will have impressed the rest. elsewhere: Barnes 17 Worthing 25, Bishop's Stortford 24 Hayward's Heath 21, Portsmouth 27 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
