Edinburgh Accies  34   Stewart’s Melville RFC  5

The 1st XV had an early kick-off at Raeburn Place on Saturday against table toppers Edinburgh Accies in a league match postponed from December.    As half-time approached Accies had been held to 12-5 but disappointedly they squeezed in for touchline try just on half-time.   Accies had almost continuous possession from the start of the second half and despite some great defensive work by Stew Mel they crossed for another three tries to take the score to 34-5 before ten minutes of concerted pressure by Stew Mel at the end failed to produce a score.  There was plenty of encouragement for the games to come.   Next Saturday we play Peebles in a cup match  at Inverleith.
