I know there is a decent rugby squad up north, but wondering if there is anything for the old broken down players, down south there is the odd game available for the less mobile !!
Just curious, would not mind the odd game now and then ! after playing for over 20 years its kind of hard to hang up the boots, might not be as fast as i used to be being "cough" years old but still willing.

That would be a good idea to start, there has always been a pub league in Caithness for footy and then of course you got the soccers sevens. Would be great fun to have an amateur Rugby sevens league. Not too many places with post though I think except for millbank in Thurso?
