Birkmyre RFC has a new President After a magnifi cent 3 years as President Willie Carruth has stepped


down and handed the mantle on to Wallace Muir with John Black (also a coach) as his Deputy. The players and the club in general owe Willie a huge debt of gratitude for his tireless work driving the club forward. We are all behind Wallace and the committee to continue and build on his hard work.

Moving forward to playing matters. After a
