Oban pupils ready for Glasgow Warriors Rugby Championship at Scotstoun Stadium

The tournament – now in its eighth year – is one of the highlights of the award-winning community partnership between the electricity network operator and the rugby club.

It supports rugby at a grassroots level and creates a platform for aspiring rugby stars, while spotlighting STEM* opportunities to encourage students to think about a career beyond the game.

Graham Campbell, Director of Cyber Transformation at SP Energy Networks, said: “It’s great to launch the 2025 championship at Scotstoun Stadium – home of the Warriors! Opportunities like this help support active lifestyles among young people in the communities we serve, while developing important skills like teamwork, communication, and leadership – as well as shining a spotlight on what our industry and STEM roles can offer them.

“It’s been really rewarding to see how successful the programme has been over the years and the difference it’s made for the thousands of young people who’ve taken part – I’ve no doubt it will be just the same for our teams this year. I wish all the players the best of luck as they get ready to ‘ruck’ and roll at this year’s Championship – it’s going to be another exciting one!”
