Thirds Blow off the Cobwebs with a 51 Point Haul!

Linlithgow 3rd XV  51 - 0  Inverleith 2nd XV

Inverleith 2s proved much stronger opponents than the scoreline suggests.  However, this was a young 3rd XV side and once they got into their stride, prompted by the “auld heids” of Neil Wilson in the forwards and Barry McKeown in the backs, they proved too hot to handle. 

There were 9 tries in total for the Reds, with three braces coming each from winger Keiran Ward, Steven McGinley and scrum-half Neil Richardson.  Two of the Linlithgow Academy team, winger Calum Young (alias Samson – he of AS Minorange fame!) and centre Iain Loggie also scored tries, along with lock Paul Fensom. 

Neil Richardson converted two, one from near the touchline, after taking over the kicking duties, with Barry McKeown slotting the other kick.
