The Glens match with Irvine at The Bearyards was a keenly anticipated one as last season's fixtures resulting in home and away losses for Glens by a mere point in each game.

But this one was no close encounter. Glens’ young team controlled this fixture from the outset and ran in a multitude of scores for a strong win. The strength was in the backs who ran amok once the forwards gave them the ball.

Glens 2s won 54-14 at Dalziel with strength in the forwards.

Lenzie were in control of the scrum and line-out with Ferguson, Slade and Mohammad all showing up well and the home crowd were pleased to see Patterson and Scouller add tries to bring the score to 15-0 at the interval.

The second period began well for Loch Lomond as the came back into the game with a well worked try; however Lenzie quickly extended their lead through further tries by Moir and Fraser before Loch Lomond visibly tired allowing a late onslaught by Lenzie to rum up an impressive 60 points.
