East Kilbride Rugby Club head coach Craig Brown admits their National Shield final defeat to Stewartry was a bittersweet experience after his players got to live the dream by playing at Murrayfield Stadium.
The Torrance House side were bidding for silverware at the home of Scottish Rugby on Saturday and came up just short in a 15-22 defeat to their West Division One rivals from Castle Douglas.
Stewartry bossed the first half and East Kilbride had hopes of pulling things back in the second half when their opponents went down to 14 men in the final stages, but they couldn’t push home the numerical advantage.
