The Pro’s visit Auchinleck Academy Rugby.

 Mark Bennett and Darcy Rae both Glasgow Warriors and Scotland Internationals were in Auchinleck Academy on Wednesday 9th December to lead sessions for Auchinleck pupils. The afternoon started outside on the astro-grass for Auchinleck S1 School of Rugby pupils. With the wind and rain the session was mainly built around lots of activity and game like practices.

In the second half of the afternoon the session was held inside the games hall. Joining the School of Rugby pupils were over thirty pupils from across the other school teams. The main thrust of the session was skills. There was even a race between S5 pupil John Watt and Mark Bennett which can be seen on our twitter account @EACAuchRugby.

The session was finished with a Q+A session with pupils picking Darcy’s and Mark’s brains on all things rugby. Darcy and Mark then waited back to sign autographs and pose for pictures and selfies. Overall a great afternoon for everyone involved and more evidence of the increase happiness gained from the egg shaped object that is a rugby ball.
