Kirkcaldy Rugby Club: Ex-Blues ace stars in Caledonia Reds' big win over Army

Currie Chieftains player Ramsay, who starred for Kirkcaldy for a season in the back row before coronavirus struck in 2020, is highly rated by Blues stalwarts like director of rugby development Grant Letham.

Letham told the Fife Free Press: “Jacob was a really good ball carrier in the contact for us, the sort of guy you’d rather ran round you than through you!

“He is a really big lad who suffered quite a bad injury which kind of finished him with us.

"And then when he took up rugby again I think he was working or living in Edinburgh which made it more convenient for him to play for Currie.

"Jacob is a good guy. If he’s available we’d take him back!

"He actually played against us in a pre-season friendly at the start of the year, the first time we’d seen him for a couple of years.

"He went on to a better standard of rugby and we’d never deny that to anybody.”

Caledonia Reds, who also had current Kirkcaldy ace Rhys Bonnar as a replacement for the British Army match, will play an Inter-district Championship semi-final against Glasgow & The West at Canal Park, Inverness, on Saturday, May 13.

The winners will qualify for a final against either The South or Edinburgh.

All squads comprise of players selected from across the National Leagues.
