aberdeen wanderers rfc teams are composed of ex-youth squad players, their university friends, children of ex-senior players and their relatives along with many a member of the transient oil industry who finds a welcome to the Club when they are in the area. The Youth Section was formalised in 1991, and has constantly grown over the years to such a level where they now field teams at all age levels, including Micro, Midi, U15 and U18. Consequently, a number of Aberdeen Wanderers Youth Players have been selected for the North & Caledonia District Representative Squads. The most notable success of the youth section has been Jason White, who began playing his rugby with the U13 team, and went on to earn honours with the Scottish Schools team, the Scotland U19 and 21 sides and finally Captaining the National team. Although Aberdeen Wanderers did not perhaps enjoy the campaign that they would have liked this time around the work that they are doing on and off the field should enable them to look forward to a bright and successful future. www.aberdeenrugby.org.uk www.sportip.biz 23
