Yet another season of the D&G Rugby Podcast comes to an end as we wind down for a break over summer and begin planning for a bigger and better season 4!

For the grand finale, we sat down to review all that has happened in season 3 - guests, segments, results - and to give a shoutout to each of our teams in the region.

Thank you once again for all the support for the pod - it means the world to us. Have a brilliant summer, and we'll see you for instalment #4!

In the penultimate episode of Season 3, Stewartry 1XV top try-scorer Finlay Smith joins us on the podcast to chat about growing up at Greenlaw, rugby in New Zealand and following in his dad's footsteps!

Stick around for part 2, where we have Community Sportlight, Coaches Question, the roundup of Shire Men's season and even some info on how you could save a life!

In just two weeks time, on April 19th, both the Shire Ladies and Annan Warriors will be in the capital for the National Shield and National Plate finals!

In part two, we also run through all the teams in D&G for a full 2024/25 season review!

This week marks the milestone 100th episode of the podcast and, after long discussions about something special to do, we decided to turn the spotlight onto ourselves!

For three seasons, and 99 episodes, John & Ross have strived to highlight all the brilliant people and all the exciting things that happen in our region at our 7 beloved clubs - but how much do you actually know about the guys behind the microphones?

Now, for the first time, John & Ross will give you their rugby journies, their D&G origin stories, and even their Quickfire Teammates!

Thank you for all the support in reaching this landmark episode, we hope you enjoy it!

Back from holiday, Ross & John return to the podcast to discuss what the future of rugby in our country is beginning to look like, both regionally in D&G and further afield.

Summer rugby, 7s/10s and teams struggling for numbers in the adult game are all topics of note!
