Whitecraigs 2 Cumnock 5
Cumnock started the game well, taking the game directly to their opponents. Some good interplay amongst the forwards allowed Callum McKenzie in for his first try for Cumnock. Cumnock kept up the pressure, forcing their opposite numbers into making handling errors and allowing the Cumnock backs to move the ball about freely resulting in tries for Zak North and Aiden Kerr (3). The team played together well going forward but again only mixed results in defence with fierce tackling from Kerr, Reilly and Aitken covering for some of the others.
Cumnock 1 Hamilton 2
The result didn't do justice to the effort put in by Cumnock against this bigger team, some of whom wouldn't have looked out of place in an S2 team.Cumnock opened the scoring with a great move from the backs with slick passing from Reilly and Aitken creating the space for Jack Reilly to score. Cumnock seemed to ease off a bit and let Hamilton back into the game. The tackling was ferocious at times but the indifferent refereeing didn't do Cumnock any favours. The winning try was scored after a pass that was so far forward it showed up in next weeks calendar. The Hamilton coach apologised but the score meant that Cumnock were out of the competition and Whitecraigs went through to the final against Ayr on try difference, having beaten Hamilton five nil.
Overall the team played well but the players knew that they should have won against Hamilton despite the refereeing decisions. The players felt a bit flat afterwards but the coaches have seen enough to look forward to next season as they move up to S1 to play Midi-rugby.
