Joining the club Bev brings a real wealth of experience and knowledge on and off the pitch, delivering not just rugby but netball, cricket and is a qualified ref.

Although his rugby experience has been gained playing both 15 aside and 7s in Scotland, England and in Qatar, he brings a wealth of experience in Women's and Girls coaching.

Bev's remit at the club will be aligned primarily to school rugby development within our catchment area of Mackie, Portlethen and Mearns. He will also look to enhance the club's Academy Programme for our U13's 14s and 15s by working with Mitch and our Youth Coaches. Another area for his focus will be as the main coach for the Youth Girls section (S1 to S6) - which he is looking to get back on track first week after the Easter break.

I'm certain that he will be a welcome addition to the club and help us growing the player base and in delivering rugby into schools and our wider community.

Look out for his regular Dev Officer updates.
