Stewartry under-16s triumphed over their Hamilton counterparts in the first round of the West Cup on a dull, dusky and drizzling Sunday at Greenlaw.
Captain Preston Carnochan chose to play with the wind in the first half. The wet, cold and muddy conditions did not bode well for free flowing rugby and so it transpired.
Both sides tried to run the ball but mistakes dominated a first half which, in turn, was dominated by a first minute try by Arthur Bolland.
