Small margins can often decide titles, and on Saturday there were several that went against Biggar in their quest for promotion from Tennent’s National League 1.
The Lanarkshire side were 10 seconds away from a victory against Heriot’s Blues that would have put them top by two points, and with a game in hand.
Instead, a last-gasp try gave Blues a 19-17 win, and Gala’s similarly late win against Melrose resulted in Biggar dropping down to third in the table, a point behind them, and six behind Heriot’s.
