RUGBY MATCHES

 CHISHOLM CUP CLASH

After a break of 3 years the Chisholm Cup is again up for grabs as the Annan 1st XV travel to Castle Douglas on Saturday to take on Stewartry.

The Chisholm Cup was last played for in 2023 with the hosts on Saturday the winners. Overall both clubs have 10 Chisholm Cup wins.

This season in the league, both teams have been struggling but with Stewartry in National 4, and at home, they will be favourites to extend their current winning run over the men from Violetbank but as always in any Chisholm Cup match anything is possible!

Unlike the past 5 Chisholm Cup which were played over 2 legs, Saturday’s clash is a one and done deal so come 3.30pm on Saturday one of the teams will be most happy!

2pm KO up at Greenlaw, Stewartry

 WARRIORS IN FRIENDLY MATCH

The Warriors are travelling the short distance to Park Farm on Sunday as they take on their hosts Dumfries in a friendly match.

The Warriors last 2 matches in the National Plate have been cancelled as their opponents could not raise a team willing to travel to Violetbank so the Warriors coaches will be wanting to get the players some much needed game time before their last 2 National Plate Group matches

Match kicks off at 2pm

YOUTH TEAMS IN ACTION

The U13 Boys are in action on Sunday as they travel to Garnock for their latest league match. TBC KO

The U17 Girls are at home (Wigtownshire) to Oban Lorne on Sunday with the D&G U17 Girls as the team continue their West U17 Girls Cup Campaign. This is the 5th match of 5 group matches. The team had a great win last week away to Carrick. Kick off: 12pm

Finally on Sunday the mighty U6-U12 Tigers welcome Creighton to Violetbank for a series of friendly matches. 11am start

Best of luck to all the teams this weekend
