PRFC are disappointed to announce that they will be loosing the coaching services of Iain Chisholm who will be moving to pastures new next season. PRFC director of rugby Colin Thomson states "Iain has made a significant impact on our senior player group during his time with the club and we are disappointed to be loosing his services but we wish him well in the future".
Iain Chisholm stated "It’s been a real privilege to be involved with Peebles Rugby Club over the last 12 months. I’d like to thank the executive committee for affording me the opportunity to develop my coaching and leadership skills further with a fantastic group of players, coaches and managers in the clubs centenary year. Having reflected on the season and in discussion with my wife, it is the right time for me to seek coaching opportunities and full-time employment closer to home to maximise time with my young family. I am proud that in a short time we have made massive strides in developing a playing style and introduced a methodology that ensured that our time at training was a highlight moment of the players week. It’s been great to see that style develop along with the players on an individual level. While we may not have been promoted, we managed to win home and away to deserved league winners Glasgow Accies and I’m certain that with a little more luck around injuries, Peebles would have been in amongst that group chasing promotion come the last day of the season. I look forward to watching these players and wider coaching and management group progressing in future seasons and wish everyone at Peebles RFC all the best for the future and a big thankyou for being such a welcoming club."
