Cumnock/Kilmarnock Under 16 Cougars confirmed as Champions

The Cumnock / Kilmarnock U16 Rugby team have been confirmed as West U16 Division 2 champions.

Article by Kevan Aitken

This combined team have been playing together for three seasons under the Cougars banner and have developed into a force to be reckoned with. The Cougars only lost one game in the league all season, at home to Cartha Queens Park in December, but have recovered to win all of their remaining fixtures. Indeed a seven game run in 2013 saw them win all of their games, scoring over 300 points and only conceding 80. The most satisfying performance was a return match against Cartha which saw them claim victory against the Glasgow team.

The team will move on to compete in the West U18 Development League next season, although some of the younger players will continue to play in the U16 league.

The photograph shows the team with a visiting squad of players from Morriston RFC in Wales, who were staying near Ayr during the Easter break.
