Mather to call time as coach of Watsonians

CAMMY MATHER is to step down as Watsonians coach following tomorrow's concluding Scottish Hydro-Electric Premiership match at Dundee High FPs..

The former international back row and Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds and Worcester professional is understood to have told the club he is pursuing a career outside rugby.

To mark his farewell Mather is listed on the bench for a match which can see Watsonians consolidate runners-up spot against opposition who have already been relegated. Mather was unavailable for comment but a hunt for his successor to work in tandem with backs' coach Bruce Aitchison is now underway.

Meanwhile, Edinburgh Rugby will be captained by hooker Andy Kelly when they contest Stirling County sevens tomorrow with a squad also including Scott Newlands, Ben Meyer, David Blair, Greig Laidlaw, Mark Robertson, Andrew Turnbull, Steve Lawrie and Andrew Maxwell.
