Scottish Cup / Bowl

Strathmore 5 - 34 Highland RFC 

With 34 players of to Wales on tour to play Birchgrove and watch Scotland in action, Strathie managed to field a team and 2 subs along with 2 no-shows.  On paper the line up looked pretty promising with a blend of youth and experience.

Un-handicapped by players on tour, Highland faced an opening 20 minute onslaught in which they were rarely allowed out of there own twenty two, assaults through Crozier and Fletcher caused mayhem, The Nicoll brothers and Pete Harte  were causing carnage and were inches from the line on three occasions.  The luckless Skelly was even mowed down inches from the line after fine play from Crozier.

However it was Highland who found weakness in Strathies 9 - 10 channel on the half hour and exploited them with d three tries in five minutes.

A never say die performance was rewarded with a huge cheer as Fletcher burst through the centre and off-loaded in the tackle to Crozier and out to Dight Baldie to score in 'Swamp Corner'.  Dyker who had been conned into playing thinking it was an over 35's game was subsequently awarded man of the match for his abrasive tackling.

Strathmore will play the the looser of the Kinross - Glenrothes match in the National Bowl on Saturday 16th Feb 2:30 KO

 

Strathmore 23 - 22 Glenrothes

An agonising game for the home crowd saw the Blacks just holding on to beat their Division 3 opponents Glenrothes by 23 points to 22 when the game had appeared to be lost after the Fifers had a 17-3  lead with just 20 minutes to go.

Having had 2 comfortable bonus point wins in the league, the home side were expecting a comfortable victory, but numerous errors gave their opponents two tries in the first half, the first after a collision between the home centres gave the scarlets a clear run to the line. Gary Robb slotted a penalty in his first major game, but the home side turned round 12 points to 3 down.

Things got even worse in the second half when another Glens try increased the deficit to 14 points. However the home side suddenly woke up in the final quarter with tries from Jamie Wilson, Colin Strachan and Darryl Lindsay, the second being converted by Robb, who also slotted a penalty, making the score 23-17.

A nail-biting finish ensued when the visitors scored a try out wide in the final minute, but the conversion attempt failed to the relief of the large home crowd, and the final whistle signalled progression to the next round.

Equipment Storage Shed

With space in the basement at a premium it has been decided that we will build a big shed on the site of the old club house to store all our grass cutting equipment, scrumage machines, rucking bags and weight lifting equipment etc.

We are going to construct this new facility in the same manor as we did the clubhouse with the help of members, players, helpers and sponsors. 

If you work in, or in a position related to, the construction industry please take a minute to look at the following Bill of Quantities which we desperately need to acquire.    If you are not unfortunate enough to work in the construction industry and would like to make a donation to this venture or you would like to help in the building works please contact: Ian Matheson, Jason Leslie or Dave Innes.

It is our intention to hold a sponsors lunch in the near future both to promote the clubs futures aims and ambitions , 10 year plan, and to thank those who have been generous to the club in many ways over the past years.

The Club also has a BEBO Community Site moderated by non other than Disco Stu, it contains lots of match photo's, videos and links to other Strathie folks.  To visit the BEBO SIte click HERE
