Blairgowrie
John Cunningham is a club supporter
and well known businessman with his
company Cunningham Carpets. He
recently told Rugby Club Magazine,
“If I am honest I am not a rugby fan
but when the boys invited me down to
the club I enjoyed the crack so much
that I continued to go there.
The club and its members do a great
amount of work in our local community
and with the young people. It’s good to
see them enjoying so much success
this season. Myself and everyone
at Cunningham Carpets would like
to wish everyone associated with
Blairgowrie Rugby Club continued
success!”

They also recently made it to the final of the Midlands Bowl
for the first time since 1995 with 200 supporters making the trip
to Dundee. The team made history by coming away with a 28-6
victory over Dundee Medics.
Next up for the side was the BT National Bowl semi-final
as they took on a Strathendrick side that had lost just one game
all season for a place at Murrayfield. With just ten minutes to
go things were not looking good for the side as they found
themselves trailing 17-6 but they managed to produce a terrific
comeback to clinch the victory 20-17.
They will now take on Portobello RFC on Saturday 22nd
April as they look to clinch the trophy to round off a fantastic
campaign.
Speaking to Rugby Club Magazine about their recent success,
Club President Fraser Bissett said, “2016/2017 season has been
one of the best seasons that Blairgowrie RFC has experienced
for a number of years and with a new coaching staff, an influx
of youth and the combination of a wealth of senior players it has
been a good recipe for a successful season.
“We started off the season by winning our own 10s
tournament for the second time in 22 years. We are currently
4th in a competitive Midlands Caledonian II league and just a
fortnight ago we won the Regional Midlands Bowl in a keenly
contested Final.”
One of the highlights of the clubs set up is their Junior
‘Blairgowrie Rams’ Club that sees more than 40 youngsters at
micro, Mini and Midi Rugby level playing the game. They also
have an U18 Blairgowrie High School team and an U16s side
that is combined with local school Breadalbane Academy.
