Kelso Second XV 17 Hawick Linden 18
Friday evening match under the floodlights at Kelso Rugby Club. Arrived and changed in the referee changing room. Pitch was full size and properly lined. As kickoff time approached the stands began to fill in.
The fifteen minutes was marred by sloppy play, and attempts by the home side testing the American in play and in lip. PLay cleaned up after a yellow card, and a nice open game of rugby came about, with quick ball, and good skill level. Near the end of the first, play began to digress again, however, another yellow card reminded the players of the standard I was enforcing. Second half resulted in no problems, but a fast, up tempo game, with impressive skill level and ball movement. Down 8 points with about ten to go, the home side upped the temp of the match and closed the margin to a single point but their desperate attack was staved off by the visiting side.
Match was followed by a shower, and dinner with teams and club officials in the clubhouse
