The day was organised by Mid Argyll Women and Girls Community Coach Drew Buckley and was a fantastic success.
In the Under-12 programme girls from Oban, Taynuilt, Lochgilphead, Campbeltown and Islay took part in 4 x 10 minute games with some coaching on key skills in between. Chris Doxsey from Campbeltown led this section.

In the Under-14 programme there were teams from Oban, Mid Argyll, Lochaber, Cambuslang and Ayr, there were also a couple of girls from Islay who joined up with Mid Argyll to get their first taste of competitive rugby.
Cambuslang were the stand-out team with some really strong runners leading them to an undefeated day. Oban and Ayr were hard to separate, with both teams winning two games and drawing 6-6 against each other. Ayr came in second place due to the difference in tries scored over the day but there was very little between the teams.

Mid Argyll and Lochaber showed glimpses of their potential with some fantastic tries scored and both teams will take a lot from the experience.
"Another fantastic day of girls rugby and really encouraging to see the number of girls taking part across the area," said Argyll and Bute regional development officer Andrew Johnston.
