Match Report

Dreadful conditions and an understrength team were no excuse for the poor quality rugby on display at the Muirs. We still had enough good players who should have realised it was a day for short passes and strong support play. In the first half we insisted on long passes, and these invariably resulted in scrums to the opposition. We did, however, out scrummage Kinross all day, and Stew H took at least a couple against the head. I understand the Kinross scrum half was a very honest chap!

Shagger won another toss, which was crucial as it meant we played with the wind and the sun at our backs for the first half. We were able to build up a decent lead through tries by myself, Marsh, Danger and Shaft.

The second half saw Kinross kick sensibly and pin us down in our own 22. We did look dangerous with the ball in the backs, but the final pass all too often went astray.

Enough said. A win's a win.
