“We are delighted that we will have the chance to try and develop the links between a growing sport like Rugby and education.  We know that we have a lot of work to do to support the current efforts of a number of key figures who have worked tirelessly to enhance the opportunities for youngsters to participate in rugby in Aberdeenshire and to lay the foundations for a long term approach through the unique dual pathway system.  However none of this would have been possible without the funding from LEADER and so we are extremely grateful for that and hope that this contribution will go on to benefit generations of young rugby players in the region.”
