2nd XV Rugby v Fettes
Won 48-29
On a beautiful afternoon at our North Edinburgh neighbours Fettes, our 2nd XV looked to get their season off to a strong start after good performances in small sided games against Merchiston and Loretto.
Arthur won the toss and we kicked off up the hill and quickly won the ball back after good defensive intent from Honour and Arlo. Off the resulting scrum, Oliver combined beautifully with Monty and Blake to allow Blake to glide through a hole for the opening try.
Fettes replied and scores were exchanged by both teams, before Jack waltzed through in the dying moments of the first half and with Jamie’s conversion we led 29-24 at the break.
Cargilfield started the second half superbly on both sides of the ball, with Arthur and Leo leading the team superbly defensively to stop Fettes talented number 8 from gaining ground. Monty and Bertie looked dangerous every time they got the ball in space, with William providing a number of excellently timed passes to enable our exciting backs time on the ball. The final play of the game typified this with Arlo and Salman exchanging passes before contact to score a well worked 60m effort.
Final Score: Fettes 29 - Cargilfield 48
POTM: Monty
Bulldog: Leo
