Rosyth Sharks are offering aspiring young rugby players to try out the game free of charge.

The club, based at Harley Street in the town, are offering opportunities for 4-16 year olds to play every Sunday.

Running from 11am to midday each week, the club say that it is a fun, active way to build confidence, make friends and learn new skills.

New players are welcome and no booking is needed - anybody interested can turn up and play - and the first month is free, after which it is £3 for under-8s, and £5 for those over that age, every four weeks.

For more details, find the club on Facebook.

Meanwhile, the Sharks' senior side's scheduled game at the weekend did not take place.

They had been due to go to Madras in the regional quarter-finals of the Caledonia Midlands Bowl competition, but due to having insufficient players, the fixture did not go ahead.

Their opponents progressed to the semi-finals, as did Crieff and Strathearn, and Glenrothes and Aberfeldy, after their respective matches were not on for the same reason.

Rosyth do not have a game this weekend, but return to Caledonia Midlands Region League, Division Three, action on Saturday November 15 at home to Grangemouth Stags second XV.
