Looking forward

An 18-14 loss to Peebles, was an improvement on opening day’s 44-0 demolition by Stewart’s Melville, and Saturday’s fixture against Selkirk - who are also winless - is their besthope for a win yet.

GHA head coach Gordon MacPherson told ExtraSport: “We have to stop the lapses in concentration that we had in the last couple of weeks.”

Inchampionship A, Cartha secured a confidence boosting 52-0 win against league bottom dogs West of Scotland.

A brace from both Ross Aitken and Tony Nyangweso, as well as a try each from Iain Cook and Andy Noble helped Cartha to the win. Wayne Burrows kept the scoreboard ticking with his kicking.

On Saturday craigs visit Dalziel and Cartha host Hamilton. Craigs will be without influential back row Stuart Pollock, who leaves the club to play in North Carolina.
