GARNOCK 31 KIRKCALDY 24

An all action Ayrshire side which had just celebrated promotion to the Premiership competed their season in style with a late winner to beat a disappointing Kirkcaldy team which failed to capitalise on an early lead.

Two penalties from player coach Quintan Sanft had given the Blues a 6-0 lead by the fourth minute but the same player uncharacteristically sliced a kick on his own 22 to touch shortly after wards. Garnock secured the line-out ball and created space for scrum half Paul McCrorie to dash down the blind side for a try converted by Kurt Jacobsen,

More and more errors crept into the Kirkcaldy game with possession being too easily surrendered. Garnock made the most of this and the Blues became stuck in their own half. Effective rucking produced some quality Garnock ball and when it was released to the left, winger Stuart White received it in space and made a direct line to the posts to score a try again converted by Jacobsen.
