Dunfermline continued their winning run with a good performance against a very capable Hamilton side. The old adage about forwards win games and backs decide by how much, was once again proved to be true. Dunfermline, fielding a powerful pack, were on top in the scrum and were quick to the breakdown, which gave the backs a steady stream of quality possession. Good passing through the backline gave our strike runners all the space they needed to work with, resulting in 7 very good scores.
It wasn’t all one way, Hamilton scored early through a bit of opportunism from a loose Dunfermline pass, and they threatened throughout the whole match. Dunfermline’s defence was generally good however, putting lots of pressure on the Hamilton attacks, with very few missed tackles.
A very enjoyable day for the players, coaches and parents. Thanks to the excellent hosts for the good rugby and hospitality.
