Stirling County 12 Melrose 6

This SHE Premier 1 match was played in the most horrendous weather conditions, not conducive to open running rugby. The Stirling forwards had the better of the exchanges and, playing with the elements, were only able to score two Brian Archibald penalties in the first half.

Scott Wight put Melrose on the scoreboard early in the second half, but two well struck penalty kicks by Archibald into the gale doubled the Stirling score. Wight secured for Melrose a "losing" bonus point by kicking a penalty just on no-side.
