Building on the momentum from last season, Lasswade RFC is excited to confirm its coaching lineup following the successful appointment of Head Coach, former Scotland player and British & Irish Lion, Peter Wright at the beginning of last season. Under Wright's leadership, the team finished joint second in the National Two league.

The enhanced coaching team now includes some new and familiar faces:
Head Coach: Peter Wright
Director of Rugby: Ian Barr
Forwards Coach: Dale Robertson
Backs Coach: Colin Brown
Defence Coach: Jamie Graham

Derek Blackley continues his role as Team Manager for the 1st XV.

At the recent AGM, Graeme Cook was announced as the 1st XV Club Captain, while the 2nd XV coaching remains under the leadership of Oswald Wright, with Chris Blackie elected as 2nd XV Captain.

The club is actively seeking a Head Coach for the Women’s 1st XV, who will compete again in the Scottish Rugby Aspiring League and National Bowl. Amy Sanderson remains the Director of Women’s Rugby, with Rachael Wood being voted in as Captain at the recent AGM.

Youth and Development

Lasswade RFC is thriving, with Simon Wong newly appointed as Director of Youth Rugby. Wong aims to strengthen the relationship between the youth section and the senior squads, creating robust pathways for both boys and girls from P1 and the School of Rugby at Lasswade High School. Jack Hall, the Development Officer, has been visiting local primary schools to introduce more youngsters to the game. Jack and Simon will be supported by other committee members at the club to strengthen all links.
