Gatehouse brothers chosen for Scottish Rugby Academy

Two brothers have earned their places at the Glasgow and The West FOSROC Scottish Rugby Academy.

Matthew and Ryan Hind from Gatehouse travelled to Stirling County RFC for the first round of the FOSROC inter-region competition.

And both teams were undefeated with the under-16s, featuring Ryan, drawing 7-7 with Edinburgh and Matthew’s under-18s beating Edinburgh 52-28.

Both boys attend Kirkcudbright Academy and started their rugby at Stewartry Sharks.

Matthew now plays as a prop with Dumfries Saints under-18s with Ryan playing fullback or fly half with Stewartry Under-16s.

Both boys currently train with the FOSROC Scottish Rugby Academy at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility during the week.
