Half time - Melrose 24 Biggar 22.
Two minutes into the second half Sanft returned the lead to Biggar by dropping a goal. Six minutes later a gap opened up in front of Ruthven who "ghosted" through to score a try which he, himself, converted. Slade's second try, at 52 minutes, earned Biggar a "bonus point" and Sanft's conversion gave them the lead again. Mark Robertson scored the Melrose "bonus point" try at 71 minutes and Caldwell ended the scoring in an entertaining game with his "hat-trick" try just on no-side.
