FOSROC Super6 Sprint Series Review of the Round | Round 3

The third round of FOSROC Super6 Sprint Series action got underway on Friday evening, here's how the matches played out.

FRIDAY 29 APRIL: SOUTHERN KNIGHTS V STIRLING COUNTY 

The home side Southern Knights opened the scoring with a long range penalty kick by 19-year old scrum-half Ben Afshar in the opening five minutes of the game.

County hit back five minutes later when the ball came out to their backs and Logan Trotter calmly fed the ball to Ross McKnight who went in at the corner.

HALF-TIME: SOUTHERN KNIGHTS 3-12 STIRLING COUNTY

In the opening moments of the first-half Knights hooker Fraser Renwick resisted the urge to clear out at the breakdown, instead he quickly picks up the ball and dives over the try line to make it a two-point game after Chamberlain converted.

Closing in on the hour mark Lewis Skinner crashed over the whitewash for Stirling County to take their lead to seven points.

County earned themselves a bonus-point win towards the end of the game when DJ Inness skimpered over for a last minute try.

Watsonians kept their unbeaten start to the Sprint Series going with a 15-0 win against Boroughmuir Bears in the rain at Meggetland.

Joe Reynolds opened the scoring after 10 minutes as he darted through two tackles and sprinted over the line on the right side.

And the visitors had a second try in the 24th minute. Lewis Berg ran a lovely inside line to cut through the defence, and stepped around the last defender before dashing into the left corner.

Just before half time, Watsonians lost scrum half Rory Brand to the sin bin for a high tackle.
