ARDROSSAN Academicals RFC signed off their centenary year in style last weekend.

The 2022/23 campaign marked 100 years at the centre of the community for the Accies and on Saturday, June 17, the club hosted a family fun day at their home ground.

The event was bathed in sunshine as the entire youth section, from nursery to under 16s, along with parents, carers and friends, pitched up to enjoy a day filled with activities.

From the treasure hunt and the tug of war to rugby, rounders and three giant inflatables, there was fun to be had all day long.

The event also conincided with the end-of-season prize givings for the club's youth sides.

Medals were given to all the mini and micro section players, in addition to the awards of Player of the Year, Sportsman of the Year and Most Improved Player of the Year, which were presented at each group level from P4 to under 16s.

After another year of huge success on and off the field, the Accies youth section remains a positive, vibrant and rewarding environment for the young people of the community.

With the club now the main hub for players from most of North Ayrshire, its growth is unprecedented.

New players of any age are always welcome along with their families.

With the 2023/24 season just around the corner, a bright future looks to be in store not just for the club but for rugby in the Three Towns and beyond.
