OBAN Lorne’s senior rugby team entertained a touring Hillfoots side on Friday evening in preparation for Saturday’s annual Mull 7s tournament.
The Oban side fielded a mixture of 1st XV and 2nd XV players and won the game comfortably with some of the best rugby played by the team all season.
Pleasing for the home support was the large number of young players in the team who have recently progressed into senior rugby from Oban High School. They included Rufus Stones, Alex Houston, Stephen Povey and Jack Strachan. Ten of the 15 Oban players present are all products of Oban High School’s rugby setup.
