The Blacks played uphill for the 1st half of what was a closely contested match on a warm humid afternoon in Tillycoultry. Strathie went ahead first with a well struck penalty from the boot of young Brad McKenzie but it wasn't long till Hillfoots struck back with an unconverted try in the corner

The blacks open the campaign for the second year in a row against the students from St. Andrews on Saturday 26th August at 3:00pm so get it in your diary now. Hopefully we will reverse our pre season league position by the end of the year!

Shetland Mid Summer 7's
Strathmore Gryphons / Angus Mercenaries win Plate
Four Strathie men made the trip to the Shetland Mid Summer 7's along with Ronne MacLennan from Arbroath and Shagger from the SPS, joined well by big John from Shetland, Orkney Dave and a few others throughout the afternoon. Managed by Inspector Gadget the men in Black defeated the Shetland Old Boy's to win the plate. The main event was won by the hosts beating Aberdeenshire who included James & Stuart in their final line up. More incriminating eveidence to follow
Four of Strathie's over 35's (Fred Crowe, Grahame Low, Ian Matheson & Gary MacGregor) joined Aberdeen Strollers and Blairgowrie to form the Tayside Strollers at the 2nd Scottish Golden Oldies Rugby Festival in Perth.
Six 20 minute matches with a ten minute break between each one in an afternoon was hard work for the forward pack who included 81year old Alistair Urquhart ( the festivals oldest player) who managed all the matches, SRU President Jim Stevenson donned his boots and joined us for a match.
The day started with a tough match against a strong Perthshire side followed by Waid, Mackie, Cartha Queens Park, Kirkcaldy/Hillfoots and finally Biggar. With an afternoons free whiskey from Famous Grouse the beer tent was a busy place Inveralmond Brewery provided the beer and Perthshire provided a dead (by the end of the day) pig and burgers for the barbecue a great time was had by all.

It was suggested during the Crieff match that Gary Durward bears a striking resemblance to the awesome assistant of Danger Mouse - Penfold!
