Oban High School U16s reached their second successive appearance at Scottish Rugby’s School Finals Day with a hard-fought 24-5 win over Ardrossan schools on Wednesday last week.
This makes for a big day out for Argyll and Bute at finals day with South Argyll Schools (Lochgilphead, Tarbert, Islay and Campbeltown) also playing at BT Murrayfield’s back pitches in the Bowl Final.
Oban and Ardrossan fought hard to get their semi-final tie played with the weather and CalMac ferry timetables causing issues in the build-up to the match. The players also had to deal with 50mph winds and driving rain making for very challenging playing conditions.
