Champions - Eagles Make It 3 In A Row

PR Log (Press Release) – Aug 03, 2009 – PUMA Kit manufacturer The Kit Team’s newly signed club the Edinburgh Eagles played in their new PUMA Rugby kit securing three Co-Operative Scottish Conference Titles in a row this weekend. The match resulted in an 18-10 extra time victory with a bruising Grand Final encounter against Carluke Tigers.  Mike Wallace was the Eagles hero with a try 3 minutes into the second period of extra time and Andy Grodynski showing nerves of steel to kick two goals to see the game out for the Eagles.  The Eagles scores in the regulation 80 minute period came in the shape of tries from winger Craig Hunter and another score from Wallace with Grodynski adding a goal.
“For the lads to win the Scottish title 3 years running is a fantastic achievement.  In that time the club has really grown off the field as well and we really are looking to progress things and get a youth section set up at under 15 and 17 levels. It’s been a great year with our success in the Challenge Cup getting to round 2 and we are going to pull out all the stops to try and ensure we get to the National Final in Derby this September“ said Eagles Coach Angus McNab

The only thing to put a slight dampener on the Eagles celebrations was an injury to hooker Giles Lomax that will rule him out for the rest of the year and see him miss next week’s Scotland A V England Lionhearts encounter as he needs surgery to pin a bone in his broken hand.

Eagles now face the North East Championship Winners in the National stages of the competition on Sunday 23rd August at a neutral venue still to be confirmed.  A win here would see Eagles in the National Final for the 1st time in their history.
