We have been given the opportunity to look after the car and bus parking at the forthcoming Pipe-band competition, but to be able to do this…..we need your help.

The competition is on Saturday 12th May. Buses and cars will start to park from 08:00 possibly up until 16:00. This has the potential to be a good earner for our club. Any time that you can give, to help on the day, would be greatly appreciated. Please speak to anyone on the Management team or drop me an email:-

Volunteers are also required to help out on the gates, possibly in 2 hour shifts. Thanks in advance.

There seems to be a misunderstanding in the Community regarding the role of our Development Officer. Some people think he is employed by the School, some think it is East Lothian Council and some think it is the SRU.
The reality is that Chris is employed by Dunbar Rugby Club supported by the Scottish Rugby Union.
Chris works within the Grammar School delivering Rugby to all ages supported by Brad Robertson who does Strength and Conditioning. Chris also works with all the Dunbar cluster schools from Innerwick to East Linton as well as with our Minis.
Chris also has to do certain support work with the SRU and also supports East Lothian Rugby. I am sure you all see the benefits of what Chris is doing in the Community. This involves a significant financial cost to the Club which means we have to do a significant amount of fund raising. The Lottery is one of many ways we do this as a Club but this could and should be bringing in more. Membership could also be much higher especially from our youth sections. The Lottery was not won on Tuesday so it rolls over to next week where the Jackpot is a huge £3568.75. If everyone in the Club took a sheet and even brought in a few pounds a week this would make a huge difference to what we could do as a Club. Dunbar United run a similar Lottery and bring in much more per week than we do. If you feel you could do something more contact Fiona Blair who has all the details.

Facebook changed their settings on 4th April and it is no longer possible to feed the posts from our Facebook Group onto the website. See below. I am still trying to find a work around.

Dunbar held their inaugural 2nd XV Seven a Side tournament on Saturday. The teams were playing for the Douglas Robertson Cup. Douglas has been involved in Dunbar Rugby Club for many years and is an honorary member and was President in 1985, 86, 93, 94, 95, 98 and 1999. Douglas has worked tirelessly over many years with the 2nd XV at Dunbar and through his efforts the Management dedicated this Tournament in his honour.
Dunbar invited all the teams in the East Development League to participate but a few late call-offs saw additional teams added. The format was that of two Leagues with the winners meeting in the final. Dunbar RFC 2XV, RAF Boulmer, Napier University and EPDRI (Ex-President Douglas Robertson Invitational) where in one side of the draw. Napier University with their young squad went unbeaten in that group where the highlight was the match between the two Dunbar sides. This as expected was a close run thing with the lead changing hands on several occasions before the Second XV stretched away to win by 27 points to 17..
The other group included Ross High, Forresters, Leith, Walkerburn and Moray House/Walkerburn. This group was a much closer run thing with both Forresters and Moray House/ Watsonians going unbeaten leaving the winners of their match to progress to meet the Napier students. This was a close run thing with two youngish sides pitting their wits against each other. It was evenly matched in the early stages with the score level at 12 points each. The much stronger Moray House/ Watsonian team then stretched away to win comfortably in the end by 43 points to 12.
The final was an extremely entertaining match that saw Moray House/Watsonians score early. The match was then a battle of wits as both teams defended incredibly well. It was not until late in the second half that Moray House/ Watsonians scored three tries that the victory was sealed by 26 points to nil.
Douglas Robertson made a stirring speech with almost a tear in his eye as he presented the winning team with the Trophy. This was an extremely successful day even with the conditions deteriorating later on. This no doubt will continue in the future as all clubs hailed the day a great success.
