Strathmore 15 - 10 Aberdeenshire
The 2ndxv with Captain Eddie at the helm got the afternoon off to a great start putting one over on Aberdeenshire who give us a great hard game every time we meet. Rare appearances from Vice President Bob Baldie and Dick Nobel and the influx of some new Irish friends as well as the ginger bearded Fergus (Photo to Follow) made a colourful team with "for only the second time at Strathie someone being sent off for ineffectual punching". More to follow.
A
hugely entertaining 2nd
team fixture against
unbeaten Dunfermline
entertained the home
crowd, including a large
agricultural sponsorship
contingent. The lead
changed hand several
times, but the premier 2
side proved too strong,
winning by 48 points to
36. The phrase "the old
ones are the best" was
proved correct by the
home side with tries
from James Brodie, Nicol
Welsh, Bob Baldie and
Iain Fletcher (2), with
the giant Bryce
Pretorius smashing over
for the sixth. Another
relative "oldie", Robin
Young, slotted 3 wobbly
conversions. Graeme
Crozier and his League topping team made the
journey north to play Ellon, a
fixture in which the Blacks have
had good results, to be done
over by Ellon.
Try
by Dick Noble,
Penalty and Conversion by David
Brown. No report on the
Nobel try but from a previous
game this Westwood gem live
strongley in the mind
"The
next few moments seemed to
happen in slow motion as Noble
stripped the opposition winger
of any shred of dignity, selling
an outrageous dummy that will
surely leave mental scars that
may never heal. Concrete
could have set in the time that
Strathie's veteran flanker
covered the three yards to the
try line but the cheer that
greeted him when he collapsed
over the whitewash will live
long in the memory."
