The S1 & 2 team undertook the long and winding journey to Castle Douglas, coming up against a fairly strong Stewartry side. Cumnock were fielding a side with several inexperienced players with two of them making their debuts. The first 20minutes were fairly even with the Stewartry boys only scoring 2 tries and unfortunately they were not countered, however it could have been worst had debutant Telbell not charged across the field to take out the opposite winger 5m from the try line. After the break Cumnock came out guns blazing with Man of the match Telbell scoring in the corner.
After some crunching tackles by big Iain, Robbie and Euan, Christopher made break and scored under the posts going on to convert his effort. In the final 20minutes Cumnock scored two great tries, another Debutant Dempster using his magic feet to pass the opposition and go over, while the other one was more of a team effort with Iain making the original impact while good support play meant George was able to stroll over the line. Unfortunately some missed tackles meant that the score line flattered the home side winning as they did 26 - 14. Auld Jim the head coach said after the game “ There has been a great improvement since the last game, and all the boys have shown a lot of potential” As noted before Man of the Match award was given to Telbell for an outstanding first game, while the eejit award was given to Callan for being sick on the bus!
