Currie 17 Melrose 22

On a dry, but cold day and on a firm pitch the home team raced into an early lead in this SHE Premier 1 match with Kevin McShane diving over for a try in the corner after twelve minutes and prop Andrew Reekie scoring a try six minutes later. It took until just short of the interval for Melrose to get on to the scoreboard, this being achieved by John Dalziel who scores a try converted by Scott Wight.
Half time - Currie 10 Melrose 7.
Melrose took the lead early in the second half with Mark Robertson's try converted by Wight, but Currie struck back when Johnny Smith scored and converted a try. Jordan Macey was the next on the scoresheet with a well taken try to return the lead to Melrose. Wight ended the scoring with a penalty with some 15 minutes remaining. Although the scoring had ended the action continued with excellent defending by Melrose in thwarting the efforts of the home team to crash over the line.
