The occasion brought together the regular Spotties, our coaches, and welcomed guests, all of whom enjoyed a beautifully prepared four-course Christmas meal ahead of the 1st XV’s kickoff against Kilmarnock Rugby Club.

As opposed to the weather, the atmosphere throughout the clubhouse was warm as well as lively, and unmistakably festive. It was particularly heartening to see the club so busy, buzzing with conversation and camaraderie, and serving as a perfect backdrop to match day.

Events like this capture the very spirit of the club, bringing players, members and others together, on and off the pitch, and reminding us what makes our Whitecraigs Rugby Club so special.
