The past weekend was a whirlwind of celebration and recognition as our club honoured the outstanding achievements of our players across all age groups. From the U18s dinner on Friday night, the seniors' awards on Saturday, to the juniors' BBQ and prize-giving on Sunday, it was a time to reflect on the hard work, dedication, and passion that each player has brought to the field this season. Special thank you to Lucy Gray for organising the senior end of season on Saturday night with over 100 attendees.

A Message from Our Director of Rugby, Colin Sangster
Having attended four different events over the last three days to join in the celebrations at the end of the current 2023/24 rugby season, I am one very proud Director of Rugby today. I am full of pride for where we are at Dundee Rugby Club. Our numbers are growing, our teams are doing so well across the board, and we are constantly looking for new challenges to help to move the club forward. Rugby is now being offered in a wider number of schools in Tayside and this is bringing more players into the club.

I also want to say a final thank you to all the volunteers involved: players, coaches, admins, sponsors, and parents. You are the ones who make this fantastic club what it is.

Finally, we need more people to volunteer to help us run this massive club, particularly at senior and junior levels. Dundee Rugby juniors are playing in the National Conference next season, and this is raising the bar up another notch. We are also looking for more help from the local business community to help run the operation and cover all the costs which are rising all the time. If you feel that you have a spare hour or two in your week, then please get in touch and let us know how you would like to get more involved.

So finally, well done to all on a fantastic season, and I can't wait for the next one to come around. Enjoy your summer and see you all next season.
