March 2023 Sports Highlights in Tayside & Fife

Hey there, sports fan! March was a busy month for the clubs around Tayside and Fife, and we’ve gathered the best bits in one place. Whether you follow football, rugby, basketball or community runs, you’ll find something worth a read. Let’s jump straight into the action.

Football Fever

Local football kicked off the month with a thrilling derby between Dundee United and St Johnstone. The match ended 2‑2, and the late equaliser from United’s striker kept fans on the edge of their seats. A few days later, the Fife league saw East Fife secure a 3‑1 win over Cowdenbeath, boosting their push for a top‑four finish. Both games drew packed crowds, showing that the love for the game is still strong in our towns.

Beyond the senior fixtures, the youth leagues kept the excitement alive. The under‑15s tournament at McDiarmid Park highlighted several promising talents – one youngster even netted a hat‑trick in under‑13 play. If you’re scouting for future stars, these junior matches are worth a look.

Rugby & Basketball Buzz

Rugby didn’t miss a beat either. The Dundee Rangers clinched a hard‑fought 15‑12 win over Glenrothes in the Scottish National League, thanks to a last‑minute penalty. The victory lifted them into second place, and the fans celebrated with a post‑match gathering at the local pub – a true community vibe.

Basketball fans got their share of drama when the Fife Phoenix hosted a regional showdown against the Edinburgh Gunners. The Phoenix rallied from a ten‑point deficit to pull off a 78‑74 win in overtime. The game’s highlight reel is full of fast breaks, three‑point bombs, and a buzzer‑beater that had the home crowd roaring.

Community Events & Outdoor Fun

March also brought a series of community‑focused events. The St Andrews 5K run attracted over 300 participants, ranging from seasoned runners to families enjoying a day out. The route showcased the town’s historic streets and coastline, giving everyone a taste of local scenery while promoting health.

For those who prefer a slower pace, the Fife Cycle Tour offered a scenic loop through coastal villages. Cyclists of all abilities joined, and the event partnered with local cafés to provide refreshments and a chance to mingle.
