3 Balfron/Endrick boys have been selected to play for the newly named Glasgow Warriors teams in the East Vs West fixtures due in October. The top talent from this age group will go head to head over 2 fixtures to see which side will come out on top.

Mikey Heron, Kier SIngleton (both U18) and Joss Armstrong (U16) have all been selected for the Glasgow Warriors side following successful campaigns playing for Caledonia in their respective age grade regional competitions. This is a great achievement for the boys who all started their rugby careers at Strathendrick Rugby Club playing in the minis and midis. We wish them the very best of luck in their resoective games.

The matches will provide another competitive test bed for players of potential to prove themselves ahead of the respective International squad selection, while the alignment aims to create stronger links and associations between aspiring players and the top level of elite club rugby in Scotland.

Scottish Rugby Head of Academies, Sean Lineen: “These combined sides present more opportunities for young home-based players to play in increasingly intense environments and promote themselves within the Fosroc Academy structure and international age-grade sides, while closer alignment to the pro teams will hopefully give them and their supporters a greater sense of identity within the pathway.”
