Full time at McKane Park:
Dunfermline 21-29 Cumnock

An entertaining game to say the least. Long spells of scoreless periods kept the game ticking over, whilst immediate counter tries were scored to maintain competition throughout the entirety of the fixture.

Man of the Match was a tricky one as several of the U15's stuck their hand up for this weeks award.
Special Mentions for Captain Robbie Neilson who led from the front, scrum half Ben Hobdell and outside centre Aaron Hurst also played very well.
Man of the Match ultimately went to half time super sub Jack Miller for his consistent tackling and ruck presence around the field.

Next Sunday, away to Dalzeil.
