RUGBY MATCHES

1ST XV START OFF THE LEAGUE SEASON

The 1st XV start their West 1 league season on Saturday as they welcome Carrick to Violetbank

It’s a tough opener against the Maybole side, who were just pipped at the promotion post last season by Lenzie

But after last week’s great pre-season win against Dalkeith, the Annan Lads, under the guidance of coaches Adam Hamilton and Calum Heughan will be hoping to get the 2026/27 West 1 league season off to a flying start

For the record, this will be Annan’s 10th season iin West 1 since their promotion back in season 2015/16!

Please note all matches will kick off at 2pm this season. No more 3pm kick-offs

2ND XV ARE OFF ACROSS THE BORDER

The 2nd XV start their league campaign in a couple of weeks, but they have their 1st match of the season on Saturday as they travel across the border to take on Crieghton.

Captain Simon Dix will be wanting a good showing from the lads, which will include a few new players.

Best of luck to both teams this weekend
