Millbrae

 

Millbrae Rugby Club was formed in 2006 and entered the West Regional League in Division 3 for the 2006/7 season.  The vast majority of the players came from what was previously Ayr Rugby Club's 3rd XV.  Frustrated with a lack of games and a meaningful league competition it was decided to strike out on our own as a club in our own right.  After securing several generous sponsors and with the backing of the ARFC committee Millbrae entered into its first season.  Home games are played at Millbrae when available or at Rozelle if necessary.  

Having won the Division 3 league in its first year, Millbrae was promoted to the West Regional League Division 2 for the 2007/8 season.  In its second year Millbrae won this league and were promoted to West Regional League Division 1. This league suits Millbrae's balance of maturity and skill and the team are finding the competition a bit tougher in this 12 team league.  Having secured a top half place in the first part of the competition Millbrae coasted to a fifth place finish in the league standings.  After a semi successful run in the National Cup competition, having been one victory away from hosting a Premier 1 team at Millbrae, they bowed out to Dalziel, a National Division 1 team. Millbrae currently has around 40 players 'on the books'.

The Millbrae Rugby Club also enjoys a healthy social side in their balanced approach to fraternizing, training and playing.  With frequent nights out, annual dinners, overseas tours and 7's and 10's competitions, there is something for all the players at whatever stage they are at in their rugby playing careers.
