Weekend Sport – Saturday 18th November

It was an emotional moment for all when Doddie Weir accompanied by his sons took the field with the match ball at Murrayfield on Saturday when Scotland faced up to New Zealand.

In the match itself George Turner made a second appearance from the bench for the Scottish XV who were pressing the NZ line when the game finished at 22-17 for the All Blacks.

Earlier in the day the club’s 1st XV defeated Preston Lodge in a roller coaster match by 33 points to 27 with captain Adam Howie securing the win with a try in time added on.  The win takes them into the last eight of the BT National League Cup played for between teams ranked 17 to 46 at the end of last season.
