Kirkcaldy 16 Stewart's Melville 35 - defeat for the 1st XV as the visitors proved too strong for the Blues at a sunny Beveridge Park. Stew Mel took the lead early on and Kirkcaldy were always behind on the scoreboard. Finlay Smith penalty kicks either side of a Marcus Salt try narrowed the deficit to just a point, but the away side scored again to make it 13-21 at half-time. The visitors proved too strong in the second half as they exposed weaknesses in the Blues defence and added a couple more tries.
