U16 GIRLS IN NATIONAL PLATE FINAL

STOP PRESS: Falkirk U16 Girls 41 v Annan U16 Girls 34. The Hornets lose in the final, just. A great effort from all the girls but in the end it was not to be. Congrats to Falkirk on their win. Chin up Hornets and get ready for 2025!

The U16 Girls are off to Falkirk on Sunday to compete for the National Plate

The team earned their place in the final after finishing 5th out of 8 of the teams that qualified for the Cup competitions.

They take on 6th placed Falkirk in the final.

The teams met just last week at Violetbank where the Hornets ran out 53-17 winners but with Falkirk now having home advantage the Annan Girls will know they will need to be at 100% to bring back silverware to Annan.

Best of luck girls from all at Annan Rugby

Match report, highlights and photos – Now Online

After a now 6 week break, the 1st XV are back in action as they welcome 4th placed Dalziel to Violetbank.

The second half of the league season starts and Annan will want to improve on their played 9 won 5 record.

And with 5 home games in the next 9 matches, a top 3 finish is still a possibility but Annan will probably need at least 2 more wins to also be safe from the relegation spots. One game at at a time and all that!

Annan are currently sitting in 5th spot, 1 point begin the Motherwell based team.

The teams last met back in August when Dalziel comprehensively beat Annan but at Violetbank, Annan have a decent win record against Dalziel and will be hoping to add to it on Saturday
