Last week, Melrose Rugby Club offered those isolating or in a vulnerable group support in day to day tasks. This even extended to a Southern Knight being sent to collect local resident from Newcastle Airport to bring her safely home.

A Southern Knight was despatched to collect Janet Brown from Newcastle Airport; who had taken one of the last flights out of Australia to get home to the Borders and was facing a long bus/taxi journey ahead of her. So we are very pleased she is now safely home. @Sthrn_Knights pic.twitter.com/jsI9X7pNeS

rugby balls for anyone to take home and practise their skills.

FREE RUGBY BALL

Outside our club in Invergordon, there is a bag of rugby balls, feel free to take one home if you do not have one already.
