Cumnock 28 Strathaven 24

Cumnock 28 v Strathaven 24

1ST 20:- Looked good from the kick off with some powerful running from the backs, the first try coming from the alertness of Rab Donald tho to be in the right place at the right time. Kyle Johnson, following up with the second, the third coming from the usual trademark long run from Mark Bennett. Strathaven getting one.

2nd 20:- Once again, it was looking as tho the training ground was working as both forwards and backs were linking as one,
and it was one of the best plays of the day when Thomson was tackled young Graham Hunter was in full force to recycle the ball back to the next line of attack, and then join it, to feed Foster for an easy run in.

3rd 20:- This brought a bit of a turnaround, with Strathaven fielding a similar side to Cumnock it was the visitors that seemed to be lasting the pace that little bit better, add that to Cumnock letting their defence slip and down go two tries.

4th 20:- Mistakes were creeping in for both teams now as the match fitness took its' toll, especially for Elliot who had made
a break from his own half up to the opposition twentytwo, making his man take the tackle only to go on the first call and pass inside not knowing Harkin was free on his outside. Shortly after the ball was turned over, and the Strathaven centre ran in from his own half.
The coaches were all very pleased with the outcome and glad it was a tough game. Man of the match today going to
