EK 2nds win at Lenzie- excellent result
With their manager at a wedding in Oban, the 2nd XV 17-13 at Lenzie. A great result after the troubles of last few weeks. Will EK let manager return?
After a hard month struggling to find players and field a side,the 2nds finally won a match,their first victory since 11 September. EK led 14-5 at half time.
A morale boosting result - it's only their second victory of the season.
Gordon Stevenson scored EK's only try while Sir Scott Johnston kicked four penalties.
It was a good performance all round, apart for 15 minutes in the second half when Lenzie scored 8 points, but team held together and worked hard to maintain the lead.
Stevie Lannon had a strong game, tackling hard and winning lots of turnovers. Andy MacDonald at scrum half got the forwards working as a unit and gave the backs the ball at the right time.
Gordon Stevenson also had a strong game, making plenty of good breaks.
Unfortunately Ally Donaldson was taken to hospital with a dislocated ankle after 60mins. Thankfully there was an ambulance on stand-by.
