Southern Knights were first to score in the second FOSROC Super6 game of the weekend when winger Patrick Anderson nipped in the far side.

Stirling County responded only minutes later when their own winger Logan Trotter gilded in for a try on the stand side with stand-off Marcus Holden converting.

Moments later County captain Rayner Kenndey powered over for the hosts second try of the afternoon with Holden adding the extra two points on offer.

The hosts scored their third try of the afternoon when centre Grant Hughes pulled off a well executed move from the lineout, Holden once again good with the conversion.

Just before the half-time whistle, Southern Knights were awarded a penalty try near the try line itself as Stirling County prop JP Phelan was shown a yellow card for a infringement at the maul.

HALF-TIME Stirling County 21-12 Southern Knights

The visitors opened the scoring in the second half when hooker Fraser Renwick secured the ball down over the line out after a maul at the line out. Stand-off Jason Baggott adding the conversion to close the deficit to just three points.

Stirling County extended their to five points when stand-off Marcus Holden slotted a penalty between the uprights shortly after to make it 24-19.

With the clock ticking down, Knights scored a try in the 79th minute through replacement hooker Russell Anderson who secured it down over the try line. Unfortunately for Knights, Baggott’s conversion from outwide was missed and the scores were level 24-24.

Remarkably the final score ended 24 all, the exact same score as this fixture at Stirling last season.

The second season of FOSROC Super6 kicked-off on Friday evening as Boroughmuir Bears hosted city rivals Heriot’s Rugby in the opening game of the season.

The hosts scored the first points of the tournament through a Tom Pittman penalty in front of the posts.

Stand-off Pittman kicked two further penalties to put the bears in front by six points at half-time to Heriot’s Rugby one long range penalty from their stand-off Bruce Houtson

HALF-TIME Boroughmuir Bears 9-3 Heriot’s Rugby

Ten minutes into the second-half Heriot’s replacement scrum-half Lloyd Wheeldon scored the first try of the 2021 FOSROC Super6.

Pittman slotted a fifth and final penalty for the bears to extend their lead to 15-8.

In the final play of the game Heriot’s captain Iain Wilson crossed the whitewash for the visitors to make it 15-13. Houston’s conversion would have levelled the score for a draw but it bounced off the posts which allowed the Bears to secure a first win in the tournament.

Boroughmuir Bears Head Coach Graham Shiel said: “Really, really pleased by their overall performance. We controlled a lot of the game, the players put in a huge shift tonight. We started the campaign with a win which is very pleasing.”
