Aberdeen Wanderers hosted Sunday Morning Rugby - STL from St Louis Missouri USA on 8th July at Groats Road.

Fresh from playing Strathmore on Saturday, the touring side traveled to Aberdeen for their next game and the famous Wanderers hospitality.
Strathmore loaned some players to them and some of their supporters traveled up from Forfar too.

The teams were piped on by our own piper, Fraser Smith, followed by our Wanderers mascots.
The game was competitive and reasonably close in the first half. The tourists kept going but Wanderers managed to close out the game in the second half. The score didn’t matter as it was a great encounter and brilliant to host visitors.
Shirts were exchanged with the Wanderers captain Greig Gauntlett. Shields were exchanged with our Vice President James Smith. We also gave them a nice bottle of single malt to remember us by.
After that the players were fed and enjoyed the bar.

A truly enjoyable summers evening at Wanderers involving the whole club from age 5 to 75! The Sunday Morning Rugby team were very appreciative of both Wanderers and Strathmore’s hospitality in their two matches and we were delighted to host such a fantastic team!
