primary 7 reports for 22/03/09
This is one of the toughest weekends that this P7 face all season with a double header against Ayr and GHA at Millbrae . Both these teams have won a number of tournaments so far this season so the task ahead for the Cougars could not be underestimated.
Ayr 8 Cumnock 1
The Ayr team came out of the traps fast and furious with Cumnock allowing the hosts to score at will. By half time the score was sitting at 5-0 and some plain speaking from the coaches ensued. Cumnock buckled down to the task in the second half with a significant improvement producing some excellent phases of play and a resulting score by Euan Hendrie. This step up in performance disrupted the flow of the Ayr side placing pressure on them when in possession and limiting their opportunities.
GHA 9 Cumnock 1
The Cumnock side did not carry forward the improved performance from the first game and retreated into their shells again for the first half. GHA turned over Cumnock ball at will then followed by some slick handling to their wide men produced a host of scores. By the half time whistle GHA had built a commanding 5-0 lead and it was time for the coaches to “earn their corn” again. It was pointed out that time and time again a Cougars player would make good yards however seldom was there a supporting player to help him out. This would need to change in second half if any improvement was to be seen. From the restart Cumnock looked like a different team with each and every player making a contribution. Whilst GHA did touchdown another four times they had to produce their very best as Cumnock controlled significant parts of the second half. The Cumnock score was the result of a good phase of team play which drove towards the GHA line and only a series of penalty incidents delaying the seemingly inevitable score. Ultimately the referee had no choice but the award a penalty try in favour of Cumnock due to the persistent fouling by their opponents, this was truly a team score.
The stand out man of the match on the day was Jack Reilly with driving runs, crunching tackling and some excellent distribution contributing to a first class overall performance. In conclusion the coaches were disappointed that the hard work carried out on the training ground over the past few weeks had not been put into practice and if this team are to step up to the next level they must start to work together.

Primary 6 reports for 22/03/09
Cumnock P6 at Ayr
Ayr A 5 Cumnock 0
Ayr B 1 Cumnock 5
GHA 0 Cumnock 1
Cumnock P6’s took a revitalised squad down to Ayr on Sunday with 6 new players who had never played a full game of rugby before to play two strong teams in Ayr and GHA. In the first game Cumnock played Ayr A, one of only two teams to have beaten them on grass this season. Cumnock matched Ayr in tight first half only to loose their way a bit in the in the second half, however it was a much improved performance. Cumnock immediately got revenge by beating Ayr B and then GHA in a tight game.
All in all the coaches were delighted with all the players, the more experienced boys and Rachael played to their usual high standard but the all the new boys showed great determination and got stuck in. It cant be emphasised enough how good these results are against two strong rugby teams whilst playing with up to three players who have never played before, the coaches have high hopes for the remainder of the season.

Primary 5 report for 22/03/09
Cumnock visited Millbrae today for 3 thrilling games of rugby
The team got off to a slow start in their first game against Ayr and were 5-2 down at half time. After the break the team found their form and pulled the game back for a final result of 10-10. After a short break the team took to the field against a well drilled GHA team. The Cumnock team never really found their form and were beaten 6-1 in this game. The final game against another GHA team saw better rugby from the Cumnock team and were unfortunate to lose this game 4-2 . The Cumnock try scorers today were Sean Houston and Scott Teece support play coming from Tyler Wallace, Brandon Stewart, Lucy Watt, Calum Bell, John Watt, Louise Vietch and Calum Hendrie

Report for Cumnock P3 / P4 Team
Ayr (P4) 5 Cumnock 6
This was a cracker of a game with great play from both teams. Ayr took an early lead before Cumnock woke up at half time. In the second half Cumnock fought back well with some fierce tackling and great running and passing and eventually ran out deserved winners. Scores from Rob, Adam, Adam and Owen (3).
GHA (P4) 7 Cumnock 2
Cumnock never really got going against this much larger, well drilled team. The standard of rugby from GHA was very high but Cumnock rose well to the challenge and some determined tackling kept the score down. Tries came from Adam (2).
Ayr (P3) 5 Cumnock 3
This was a real ding-dong game with lots of action at both ends of the pitch. Scores were traded evenly throughout the first half but Ayr just pulled away towards the end of the second half. Tries were scored by Corry (2) and Adam.
The coaches were extremely pleased with the way that the boys played, particularly as the day went on. If only the players would realise that the shortest way to the try line is to run in a straight line!
