Warriors Weekend inspires Glasgow youngsters

There were 21 Warriors at six different events where youngsters had the chance to chat and learn from their heroes.

Allan Glen's, Cambuslang, Lenzie and Glasgow Accies were all paid visits, as well as Quarriers Commonwealth Legacy Day at Scotstoun and McCrea Financial Services West End Tennis Tournament.

Glasgow Warriors captain Al Kellock led a group of players including Stuart Hogg to Allan Glen's where all age groups were visited throughout the training sessions from micros up to the U15 side; while Sean Maitland and Murray McConnell helped coach the S1/S2 team at Lenzie RFC.

DTH van der Merwe and Doug Hall gave a hand at the McCrea Financial Services West End Tennis Tournament, where the Warriors players had a chance to try their luck in a different type of match.

The Warriors gave up their free time at the weekend to engage with the next generation of players, and supporters, answering questions, giving feedback and taking selfies with parents as well as young players.

At the Commonwealth Legacy Day kids were given the chance to explore Scotstoun, with a variety of activities taking place including the chance to hold a snake.

The response from the events has been overwhelming with clubs and players tweeting and emailing about them.
