Cumnock 31 Carnoustie 18
Cumnock’s new youthful team improved on their win against Strathaven last week with a fresh win against a strong Carnoustie in the 2nd pre-season game.
A great ball off the top at the lineout from McMillan, quickly moved to Bennett running an excellent line to power through the defence offloading to foster who dragged the defence to create space for Bennett to scorch down the right wing and score in the corner. constant pressure from the Cumnock team turned into a second try, as the ball was spilled by Carnoustie Martin Wilson hacked the ball on which he out sprinted the defence to touch down.
The pressure just kept on coming for Cumnock when the forwards and backs combining together. The forwards set up a great platform from a lineout which was passed to the backs. The whole team combined for the forwards to collect the ball from the kick through and Kevin Brady collected the ball and scored the try.
After a great first half for Cumnock, Carnoustie showed its muscle and experience when Carnoustie scored some tries of their own, but Cumnock’s youthful team hadn’t finished scoring yet.
Craig Greer who showed some great forward thinking and moving went through several players from around 10 metres out and beat everyone to the try line to top off what had been a great game for him and the whole Cumnock team.
The newest member of the Scotland Under 18 Training Squad including Scotland National Academy, Mark Bennett topped off a great game by a trademark try of his own, after making another try from his own half after some great passing to let his loose from the backs.
Cumnock 43 Renfrew 5
The team performed really well in this the 1st time both Cumnock senior teams were out. Several players scored including John Ferrans, Andrew Watt, Jason Johnstone, Greg Hamilton.
It was a great performance and we wish to thank Renfrew for coming down.
Cumnock’s senior teams face their last pre-season games on Saturday against Marr and Hyndland.
