Glasgow East Juniors RFC Receive Generous Donation from Hirundine Whisky
Glasgow East Juniors RFC would like to extend a huge thank you to Hirundine Whisky, the premium Scotch whisky brand created by Scotland rugby stars Pierre Schoeman and Duhan van der Merwe, for their generous donation to our club.
Recently, we were delighted to receive a bottle of Hirundine 12-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky along with a personal message encouraging rugby clubs to use the donation in whichever way would benefit their club most. Whether raffled, auctioned, used for fundraising, or presented as a special gift, the gesture reflects Hirundine's commitment to supporting the grassroots game that forms the foundation of rugby communities across Scotland.
As a volunteer-led community club, Glasgow East Juniors relies heavily on the generosity of sponsors, supporters, and partners to continue providing opportunities for children and young people to participate in rugby regardless of their background. Donations such as this help us raise vital funds that contribute towards equipment, facility costs, player development, and ensuring rugby remains accessible to all.
What makes this donation particularly special is the connection to two players who have become household names in Scottish rugby. Pierre Schoeman and Duhan van der Merwe have built Hirundine Whisky around values that resonate strongly within rugby: community, friendship, resilience, and bringing people together. Those are values that Glasgow East Juniors strives to promote every time our players pull on the club colours.
The accompanying message from Hirundine Whisky encouraged clubs to share how they use the donation and highlighted their desire to give grassroots rugby clubs a moment in the spotlight. We are proud to showcase their support and recognise the positive impact that partnerships like this can have at community level.
We would encourage our supporters to learn more about Hirundine Whisky and the story behind the brand by visiting their website. Their commitment to giving back to rugby clubs demonstrates the importance of supporting the grassroots game and the volunteers who make it possible.
On behalf of everyone at Glasgow East Juniors RFC, thank you to Pierre, Duhan, and the entire team at Hirundine Whisky for thinking of our club and for supporting grassroots rugby.
Your generosity is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact this donation can have for our young players and the wider club community.
