With a lot of effort this week by some of the Stewartry players pitch one was declared fit by both teams and the referee for only the third time this season. An cold easterly cross wind made it hard going for both teams. Stewartry started well with a third minute penalty converted by Mosey but same as last week short lived as Cambuslang ran in a fifth minute opening try charging through from their own half. The conversion was missed.
