Young Campbeltown rugby stars have been driving home their skills in Dalriada Autumn series festivals over the past two weeks.
Last Sunday Oban Lorne RFC welcomed more than 150 young players to Glencruitten for the penultimate round.
On a beautiful autumnal day, a large crowd of parents and supporters enjoyed the fantastic rugby on display across the different age groups.
Campbeltown (Kintyre) came out on top in the P4/5 competition, winning three games and drawing one after a strong defensive effort limited their opponents to only three tries.
The Lochaber and Etive Vikings sides were combined on the day due to low numbers for each club, but this didn’t stand in their way as they finished in second place after winning two and drawing two.
Mull, Mid Argyll and Oban also all competed well on the day and will look to bounce back at the next event.
Meanwhile, Mid Argyll continued where they left off the previous week with another fantastic series of games to go undefeated in the P6/7 competition while Lochaber edged out Oban to gain the runners-up spot.
The Vikings also enjoyed another great tournament as they continue to grow in confidence, beating Kintyre for fourth spot due to the number of tries scored.
There was also a friendly S1/2 fixture where a large Oban squad of over 30 players welcomed Mull/Mid Argyll and Campbeltown for a training game.
Some guidance and instruction from Argyll and Bute rugby development officer Andrew Johnston around the scrum helped the teams to start gelling together and find their feet, meaning the large crowd was treated to an exciting game.
Oban were just too strong on the day, but the opportunity for Mull/Mid Argyll and Campbeltown to have some more training games in the future is an exciting prospect for their development.
The previous week at Taynuilt Sports Hub almost 100 players from Kintyre, Mid Argyll, Oban, Taynuilt, Isle of Mull and Lochaber took part in the Etive Vikings Dalriada.
Kintyre won all their games to come out on top in the P4/5 competition, while Mid Argyll triumphed in the P6/7 competition, also winning all their games.
A Girls Evolution event will take place in Lochgilphead this weekend, with teams from primary 1-7 and secondary girls from S1-3 across the area invited to participate.
